TheTinMan 13 Posted March 14, 2013 I've had my eye on this one for a little while. When I saw Jeff's review of his here http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=45567 it really put me over the top. I decided on the blue with baton combo for several reasons. I really liked the white/numeral combo, but I already own a Nixon and it would look too similar. I am not a fan of the different color subdials on the blue/numeral combo, so blue/baton it was. I ordered the watch on March 1st and received it on the 13th. Once again, great service from Toro. I made the mistake of leaving it on my desk at work and three others wanted the same watch. Long story short, I dissuaded them from ordering the same watch, but I now have 5 more watches to order from Toro. Now the pictures: After sizing the bracelet, I took the plastic off the dial and the glass dissappeared. The AR coating on it is as close to perfect as I've seen. This is definitely the best rep I own, SuperRep for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted March 14, 2013 I was thinking about getting the same one --- but with a strap instead of a bracelet. Nice watch!! I'm gonna try it on a strap myself. It just looks so good on the bracelet. I gotta say, there is no way to forget you're wearing this thing. It's massive and weighs a ton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted April 21, 2013 Nice Bert , how's the bracelet "heft" on it ? Is it light or does it feel "gen" ? This thing is as close to gen as I have ever seen on a rep. I haven't weighed it, but it is hefty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted April 21, 2013 I've had a couple of issues with this thing over the course of the last month: 1. The bracelet had a weak link that opened up. I don't think it would have come apart, but it was very noticeable and drove me nuts. I emailed Toro and he offered to replace it if I sent it back. I've worn it on brown leather while I wait for a new bracelet. Gotta say it looks amazing on brown shoes. 2. I wear the watch once or twice a week. The rest of the time it sits on a winder. I can leave it on the winder for a week and timing is spot on (+/- 5 seconds per day). When I wear it however, it runs about 5 minutes fast per day. The first item will be resolved shortly. The second is starting to drive me nuts. Anybody know why this might happen and how to rectify it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted April 23, 2013 How is the bezel.. tight click or loose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted April 25, 2013 How is the bezel.. tight click or loose? Bezel is great, unidirectional, 'tight click' just feels right. This is a rep that gets the credit it deserves, yet somehow is not recommended enough. Maybe it's too big for most, I think it's a good size for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
