mondeov6 0 Posted December 9, 2010 I read houndoggie's post on his TAO watch and I thought it was a very beautiful watch. I did visit TAO Internationals website to find they had many nice looking watches. I was very close to order the "Tourbillon" but since I do not own any GMT watch I decided to order that model. It is very similar in looks to the Cartier Calibre Chronograph. This one has a working GMT 2nd timezone mid-hand, adjustable by turning the stem. I like the lightly brushed case with the polished edges of the bezel and the lugs. I agree with HD that this is a very nicely built watch without any flaws. Just as HD I had to feel for the chrystal to make sure it was there. I kind of like that the chrystal is almost "invisible". This will be a perfect dresswatch! The strap is okay but I will probably change it for a dark brown "croc style" strap eventually. Check HD's post for a review of the "Tourby"-model. Great pictures!! http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=9449 Some pictures.... Watch came in a round "faux"-leather box..... (what??...not just wrapped in bubble wrap?!)

I had the same problem but I did get a mail from them stating.. "You may have problems with your payment process. We just send you a PayPal money request order to your e-mail. You can follow the instructions about how to pay via PayPal". So problem was solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, I've only just gotten back the dough they grabbed when they closed our account 8 months ago! Bastards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
