verbal

So... this morning I decided to buy myself a ticket to Basel and pay a visit to Baselworld next month. I always wanted to see what it is all about and stroll around to find my next to be purchase. Has anyone ever been there, how is it like, what to expect.? endless queueing for a glimpse of the next Rollie, everything behind inches of glass and nothing to try on or....? Love to hear some experiences cheers , (and yes I'll bring my camera )

Driving home , Lmpo today...and yesterday....and probably tomorrow as well..

Well...I now know one mod you could potentially consider; I've waterproofed my LMPO and decided it would be my holiday watch for this year. Went diving , some snorkeling, in the pool etc and everything was OK until the last few day I was unable -or was very hard- to close the clasp. I couldn't be bothered at the time and it was only until I got home I discovered the rust inside the clasp.. Too bad the factories didn't spend an extra penny and made the spring inside the clasp stainless steel or so to prevent it from rusting.... Spring bars also didn't survive salt water and were a real pain to get out.. So , I've ordered a gen clasp from cousinsUK and some Omega spring bars , gave the bracelet a spa treatment with White Lightning and I'm a happy camper again. I must admit that if your planning to keep your rep out of the water so there's no chance for rust, don't bother getting a gen clasp; besides some minor difference in finish and tolerances there is no way you could tell which one is which.. Besides this little mishap I still think the LMPO qualifies for being a super rep, overall finish and fit are excellent, a keeper for sure ! Sent through TapaTalk

Double post, Tapatalk is playing tricks again...

Received mine from Toro a couple of days ago and overall I'm quite happy with the build except for the case back; on the second day I had black paint on my wrist, seemed i had lost all of the paint from the engravings... Tried to redo the printing yesterday with some enamel paint but even that came off after a bit of a rub ... Back to the drawing board I guess.. I've owned the gen for a while and a part from the case back -which isn't a fault- two things I've noticed; the bezel is too easy to turn, it's not loose but not as tight/firm as the gen, possibly an easy fix but for now I'll leave it as it is. One other thing is the date window cut-out, it looks like the gloss paint has accumulated around the edges of the date window giving it bit more rounded effect, on a matte dial finish this would remain unnoticed... All in all I'm very pleased with it and a good substitute for the real deal, I've waterproofed it and this will be my summer holiday watch , will see how it will hold up against snorkeling and swimming..

Perhaps best thing to do with limited resources you have is put it in a bag filled with white rice for the remainder of your trip, leave the crown unscrewed so the rice can absorb the moist Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 5 met Tapatalk

Most TD's use triangle shipping through either UK or Spain, no worries about customs etc. Never lost a package since. Can't get any safer than that. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Seems to be a fantasy model to me, never seen this before and the sunken date wheel screams fake IMHO

really bad pictures but from first glance, I'd say fake; wrong case back, missing 2 screws, crown wrong, in fact, it's all wrong.
