New Blackbird from Toro

Recommended Posts

rusty peters

I just got this in the mail today. Deployant is beyond wonderful and the great rubber strap reeks of vanilla. It's like having a stripper hanging off your wrist. Keeps good time and the build quality is incredible. With a modified A7750, I hope it lasts for a while. We shall see.IMG_20141229_150920_zpsix6yqsb6.jpg

 

The best part of the watch is the fact that it is not an in-your-face gonzo watch. 42mm wide and subdued. I like it.

Good locking in black :thumbsup:

 

Darn, I missed out on the brushed one? I thought it was about time i let my serviced polished one+ spare parts go to fund a brushed one. Or maybe il have both.

 

Im not sure what Toro have been doing with his shipping lately. One of my friends claim he got his latest watch from him in three days from China to Swedish customs. Thats usually faster than other dealers shipments show up in tracking. I suspect he is pulling my leg though.

I paid for cheap $15 air mail to the US but it arrived in 6 days.

6 days sounds very reasonable for $15.

I thought so too. I think it was a fluke.

(208+60)×0.9

Transshipped through Spain. But I paid with WU (hense the 0.9) and in the same order there are also a Montblanc, a female DateJust and a B&R for 2 colleagues that are paing them standard Toro price (no WU discount, as I'm paying anticipating with my money and managing the full order for them), so practically the shipping for me is free :)

Lovely watch-wear it in good health : )

How is the pearl, nicely centered/correct position and depth?
