LightGeek 25 Posted February 21, 2013 Reg's is a 45mm, and has an incorrect bezel (not enough teeth), incorrect pearl and happy feet on the Omega logo. It's a great budget watch, but it has a lot of tells to it. Toros is a v.5 (fifth generation) 42mm, it has the correct bezel, far better pearl, anti faking etching on the back, no happy feet on the logo and is generally considered to be a bloody good rep for the money. It has far fewer tells compared to the gen PO42. Definitely worth the extra $45. I have four of the PO42 as sold by Toro, one of each colour with 4813 movements and a black bezel/white numbered one with Asian clone ETA. I have had one of Reg's PO45's, but sold it on. Reason - The v.5 PO42's are superior in every way. Thank you! That is the exact answer I was looking for. The problem is this stuff you can see on your own. If you don't see it then perhaps Reg is just fine for you at this point in tome. save the $45 for the next watch. Next you'll compare to Mary's at just $150 which is cheaper than Toro, same movement and comparable, etc. "Better" is extremely subjective you see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ks653 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Also - the 4813 movement is a high beat movement which means a smoother sweep (8 beats per second) as compared to the 21J 2813 movement (6 beats per second) on reg's PO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted February 21, 2013 For someone who doesn't care you seem to enjoy expending energy blowing hot air. Just relax your nerves pal, we are just some guys on the Internet talking about replica watches. Pretty tough guy for someone who just got here. Evidently, you never learned simple manners. We are more than just some guys talking about replica watches here. If you last, which I sincerely doubt, you will learn that there is a sense of community here. Given the chip on your shoulder, and your obvious lack of intelligence and respect, I would not expect you to undertstand a word that I am saying. Your loss. The nickname you gave yourself should have given me a clue - baby food -- it figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lev 6 Posted February 21, 2013 This forum is more than a bunch of men talking about replica watches. This site has saved countless people from getting scammed and I think saving people from wrongly investing their money is rather noteworthy. The diameter of a watch and the movement are just as important as the difference between a bronze sword and a damascus steel sword. The case size says a lot about the person wearing the watch just as much as it adds aesthetically to the entire presence. Not to mention that someone with thin fucking wrists wearing a horrendously large watch looks like a buffoon. If movements didn't matter than why the fuck does the swiss watch making industry even exist. Lastly, only you can make choices about what you want and seek in a watch or anything for that matter. This forum serves as a guide to get you to the right place. I'd listen to the advice given. Think economics, personal preference, etc. All should be accounted for when purchasing a watch, whether replica or gen. Cheerio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks With Mary's, you'll spend a little less (I believe). Either way, no Silix specials or Reg's in this case. Do be sure what they get you has good spacing of the logo. There was a recent batch with the logo far too low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joeytheghost 1 Posted February 21, 2013 It has to be Toros for the extra couple of £'s. The difference is immediate on the wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drunk is the best time to buy watches! I agree drunk is better for doing everything!! @Tekkes I wouldn't worry the reviews seem great on both (this was the initial reason I started this thread). If you don't like it I'm sure you can flip it easily and find the model you want! Edited February 21, 2013 by pablom617 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This forum serves as a guide to get you to the right place. I'd listen to the advice given. Think economics, personal preference, etc. All should be accounted for when purchasing a watch, whether replica or gen. Cheerio I agree wholeheartedly with most of what you said, I think you may have misread or misunderstood my response. I said "For someone who doesn't care you seem to enjoy expending energy blowing hot air. Just relax your nerves pal, we are just some guys on the Internet talking about replica watches." I was speaking directly to Richard pointing out that he seemed to be upset about a topic that in the real world is not that serious. I wasn't speaking about the entire forum, I was speaking directly to him. I can understand he took offense to me saying his response was a waste of text but I also think he took it quite personal when it wasn't a personal attack. All I meant was his response could have been saved because it really didn't help. Obviously a lot of you guys take your reps more seriously than me which is fine but don't assume that it is something worth arguing over for me... its not. Also I think you are making the assumption that my post count here means I don't know anything about watches in general. I own Swiss timepieces and have absolute respect for the industry. Also my wrist can easily do a 45mm and 42mm watch, I didn't feel the need to mention it because that wasn't my question. Instead of folks with pitchforks running into the "noob-bashing" mob maybe they could have read my question or asked me to elaborate. "BaggyJeans" and several other users answered the questions easily without unnecessary comments and insults, I don't see what is so difficult about that. What blows my mind (which is not unique to this forum) is the fact the some folks seem to feel elite and they are above and beyond answering simple questions on a forum. If a forum wasn't designed for questions everything would be a sticky. The beauty of a forum is the fact that you don't have to answer questions or read posts unless you want to. If you don't like a question just move on.... geez. Anyhow, unlike others I don't hold grudges nor feel the need to call people names or use offensive language in my posts... lets just move forward and learn from this on both sides. Just remember we were all beginners at something one point in time. Don't forget the new ceramic version from Trusty. I'm waiting for them to put a cheaper movement than swiss ETA in the watch before I order one but it looks real nice Cool, adding another to the list the check out ! Thanks!

RichardMiami 4 Posted February 21, 2013 You asked a simple question - was Toro's watch worth the extra money. I answered you in an intelligent way - the only person who can determine worth to you, is you yourself. You chose to respond with insults. You continue to distort my response, why I don't know. all I meant was his response could have been saved because it really didn't help. You seem to have missed several points in this conversation, among them are: 1. answering questions is not noob bashing. If you don't like the answer, so be it. I have never bashed a noob here, and decline to make you my first. 2. The founding purpose of this site is to save noobs from overpaying for rep watches. If you wish to spend more money, go for it, but don't ask what it's worth. 3. Logic works here as it does in the real world: This quote is outstanding n its self contradiction: I can understand he took offense to me saying his response was a waste of text but I also think he took it quite personal when it wasn't a personal attack. Yes, I took it personally. If you didn't mean it that way, the only one who knows it is you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, once I noticed the flaws that were pointed out in this thread, it is giving me second thoughts. TBH this watch wasn't even on my radar till I saw REG's, so I am trying to decide what features/flaws are important to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkGlass 83 Posted February 21, 2013 It's already been answered for you Pablo Toros is the way to go, however Regs' is good value for money and a great rep. It's heartwarming to see you Blerks have put the handbags away. Pabs your response was a bit rude mate ( or came across as that ) you are correct it's not real life and scrapping in cyber space is a bit silly. Welcome to the roller coaster of emotion we enjoy here at RWG. 10 out of 10 for intention 2 out of 10 for delivery. Don't let it bother you, none of it including the watches are real !
