Ektelon

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would post a pic of a few pieces in the collection. No mods, just direct purchases from trusted dealers. This hobby can get expensive..... Have a great weekend all

Thanks Mike and Toro. I appreciate the quick response. Toro, Will I have to reorder or do you still have my info?

Thanks Liberacee. I guess I will wait and see..........

Happy Valentines Day all! I ordered three watches from Toro a few weeks ago. I totally forgot that it was the beginning of the Chinese New Year celebration so I wasn't concerned with the lack of communication from Toro. Just today I tried to login to my account on his site to check the status of my order but the page now states that it has been seized. Does anyone know if Toro has changed his domain name? Has anyone else had this same issue?

Very nice!

Thanks panerai153. I will do just that. Thanks for the help.

Hi all, I tried a search on both JF and J12 factories in our forum and did not come up with a hit. I am wondering if any of you purchased one of these reps? I have an option to buy a Daytona but it is from the JF (I am assuming that it is the same factory as the J12) but it is a bit pricey and I'm not familiar with the maker. It is from a TD but most of my stuff comes from Noob. Anyone have experience in this area? Please feel free to direct me to any threads that reference this factory. I did search but have not had any luck. Thanks, E

I am not sure about the movement but my last two watches from Toro arrived in five days from acceptance of the QC pics. It was really quite impressive.

Thanks. I will give it a shot.

I may be the only moron in this forum but when I try to donate, I get rerouted to Paypal but it is in a different language. I am trying to do this from my phone and can't find a "translate" button to convert it to English. Any ideas? This forum has taught and helped me a ton so I am more than willing to help in return. E

Thanks Jkay. Placing an order today........

Jkay, she loves the Vacheron as well as the Chopard. I checked Josh's site and his doesn't seem to be like yours. Can I ask what dealer you used? I have purchased exclusively from Josh (7 watches) so I am not too familiar with the other dealers. If you don't feel comfortable sharing that, I understand and will keep searching. Again, thanks to everyone for their input. icoopernicus- I had her try on my DSSD and I thought it was hot but she thought it was HUGE on her wrist. I will get a picture of her like the Charlize Theron pic to prove she can pull it off :-)

All great watches. Thanks for the replys. I think the DSSD is probably larger thanthe TAG F1. It's a great watch (I own one) but she is trying for something understated. iCoopernius, the F1 is an awesome watch but the bracelet was a bear to get sized. Jkay, that Vacheron looks like it may interest her. I also like the Omegas so I will look into krpstr's idea as well. I'm not sure why it is so hard to find something for her when I can choose a watch in 30 seconds or less.

Thanks billyfras, I will take a look. Ryaku, do you own that watch? Are you happy with it?

MD2020- I understood what you were trying to say. I just haven't decided whether or not to repair it. If I don't, I will give you a shout.

Thanks MD2020. I have a great watch guy here in Phoenix that doesn't mind working on my reps. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to get it fixed. if I decide not to repair it, I will let you know.

Hi all, I have purchased a couple of Reps for my girlfriend. I bought a Rolex and a TAG F1 from Josh. Unfortunately the Rolex fell apart quickly but she loves the TAG. The TAG is a great rep but she thinks it is a bit too large for a professional environment. Would anyone here happen to have a good recommendation for a ladies watch that might be a good fit for the office? She really enjoyed the Rolex as well and thought it was the perfect size. It was the Jubilee MOP white diamond. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone is having a great week. E

I just purchased one for my girlfriend from Josh and I'm no expert but I think it looks great. More importantly, my girlfriend loves it. If I knew how to post a picture, I would show you......

thanks for the advice stormtooper4. I think that is the way I will have to go. Did yours just not fit correctly?

Sorry. Its for the 45.5 PO Thanks again

Thanks woof*. PM sent.

Hi all, I hope I am not posting in the wrong place. If I am, would the mod please move the post. I bought a Planet Ocean 42m with a rubber band. I am looking for the bracelet for it. Does anyone have one to sell or a place to source one? I suppose I could email Josh or Andrew but I thought I would start here. Thanks guys (and gals) E

Thanks freddy333, I just tried this also ( I know, "Search" is my friend) and it seems to be helping. Only losing about 2 minutes a day now. I will open it back up and adjust once more. Thanks for your response, E

Hi all, I purchased an Ebel from Josh a while ago. I haven't worn it much but have recently started to put it in the rotation. I have noticed that I am losing about 5-6 minutes a day. Does anyone know if there is an easy fix for the home tinkerer? I just read Rolexman's post on his breakdown and service of the 7750 and am not near that skill level but I can take the back off turn a screw if needed. Any ideas? Thanks, E

Mine came from being a sponsored athlete in college. I played on our University's racquetball team and Ektelon sponsored a few of the players including myself. I know it is not the most brilliant nic (like calling yourself Nike or Maytag) but I am stuck with it. I don't have an avatar because I am not sure how to do it. Great stories........... E
