Welcome aboard

Mate I'm sorry to say but that's not a very good box, practically all your watches are touching each other. You'd be better advised getting something a little bit bigger.

What a great first post (not).

It really depends on what you're looking for. Manual? Automatic? With chronos? 44mm? 47mm? a Submersible? a Radiomir? The 111 v3 from noob factory is pretty sought after, most TDs are able to source it for you.

Please don't confuse the newbie. It's a fact that ALL secs@6 7750's have early/high failure rates. There's just no way around it unless you service them once a year (unrealistic). Secs@6 7750 is a hack, not a clean movement.

I just tried Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. It smells exactly like Johnson's baby cologne. WTF?

np, welcome aboard.

lol I wouldn't go that far! You're just learning your way around the rep world. Golden rule: read a LOT before purchasing.

TDs get their watches from the same two factories: H and Noob. There's no "best version" per se.

Why don't you ask your "custom maker" to source another dial? Maybe one with a vintage look so that those small imperfections won't bother you so much?

Hooky answered your question already, go back and read #3. a7750 secs@6 are ALL prone to failure.

Stick with the Trusted Dealers. They're 'trusted' for a reason.

Omega.

Get the 217.

It's a funky take on the classic Panerai but I wouldn't buy one. It has a Benetton/Swatch vibe that is really not my style. I'm a purist, I don't even approve the SlyTech models.

Should have waited until after the date's engaged.

Yes but... what's the absolute best rep? </joke>

Gotta love those AAAA+++ ratings. My fridge is rated A. My tv is rated BBC and ITV+. My PC is AMD 1600+. None are Swiss though.

You'll find that most of us don't.

The law in the Netherlands actually states the number of illegal goods you can travel with?

Under "Watches, Clothing and Accessories".

Stick to the TDs.

Toro sometimes has stock in the EU.
