The ole ship is long gone. It was financially difficult to run TRC and RWG....a decision was made to keep a bustling site and retire TRC. It was kept around as read only for a while. The admins were still able to login for a while and we kept in touch but we moved on shortly after. Chino and I migrated over but I have not seen him for a while.

I would get both and sell the one you don't like.

Wow...I have had this waaay back. It's a really nice tank watch. The star burst detail on the dial is cool and is captured in the way the date window is shaped. It ran smooth when I had it and had no problems.

I picked up Led Zeppelin through my older brother and I have been listening to it since the age of 8. My fav album is Led Zeppelin II and is currently in rotation in my CD player

I would also keep wearing this ♥
Beautiful piece!
What is the case size on this? Reminds me so much of Corum....but this appeals to me.

Back at Christmas time he had a blow out special from the maker.

OP,
Yes I believe that sale is OVER. Do check with Toro directly.

It amazes me the lengths people will go to when trying to save a dollar or two.
The 6 watch case listed above is $110 USD plus $30 to $40 shipping.
So what you get is a basic case, no QC, no guarantee of delivery, no after sales service if there is an issue for approx $150
On the other hand you could get this beautiful walnut 8 watch case for $195 delivered with guaranteed delivery, professional QC and after sales service....go figure
Honestly every time someone has a grand plan to get better prices than Bergies they never factor in all the benefits I offer.
Ken
LOL. Good point Ken. I had my share of disappointments from the TaoBao's, DHGate and iOffer trying to get that same one in the picture and only to be surprised that it is a very bad product. Let me say that 9 out of 10 is a disappointment. Trying to get it corrected or refund is like waiting for hell to freeze.
Guys, don't waste your time. Reach out to Ken to check if he can get the items you are looking for. BTW - I am not promoting Ken and have not bought anything from him in years. But Ken has a means to that market and is a pillar in our community....and that means a lot.

I just found this thread.
Suit Supply is a very gimmick laden concept that relies purely on the ignorance of quality tailoring. They are an off-the-rack and Made-to-measure operation that relies on quick turnover. All their suits are fused with ZERO hand finishing. Don't expect working cuff buttons, hand felled linings, real horn buttons and full canvassing. This is 'tailoring' for the iPod generation who want instant gratification. This is not bespoke, this isn't even MTM. This is pre-conceived designs from a defined 'collection' that are just altered to fit the client. It's like choosing a new sofa and being asked the material and colour you want it. It is choice, but choice within a certain set of parameters defined by the seller. Hardly bespoke and hardly 'custom-made'.
I trained under the legendary jewish tailor Albert Broider (a contemporary of the equally legendary tailor Scholte) and he was the one who pointed out how good the M&S MtM suits actually were. I had a look and I was impressed. Personally, I would take an M&S suit over SuitSupply any day of the week.
Wow....never thought of M&S as a destination for suits....will certainly consider that. Thanks!

I have only tried off the rack. My build allows to fit in nicely in most suits i.e RL, CK, Ted Baker, Black and Brown the usual brands in a department store.....and yes depending on the brand or cut, it will need some tailoring to complete the fit...more so on the back just below the collar. I do would like to get a bespoke one of these days....i think it would be a fabulous splurge.

Mine is AP Royal Oak...blue waffle dial from River. Purchased way back even before there was RWG or TRC. Sold it a couple of years back as it sat in the box all the time...figured someone else would enjoy it.

Ive also posted some pictures from other fakes that are cheaper but more accurate. Lets go further with this. There are people that are never satisfied, you should not buy rep if you complain blablablaa... this is just not true
The point is, there are fakes out there, that are 1. cheaper 2. more accurate. Need proof? In 30 Days I do another, more detailed review, maybe with a DSLR Video. But then there is more than one Daniel bag in there.
I never tried to blame someone here, but many here try to blame me. I know the facts are on my side and I`m ready for it to put some money and time in to proof my facts.
So what you really have done is a review - a comparison of a gen and rep. This is normal and we see this type of review in the board. What made this unpleasant to read (and to me repulsive) is you called this review a fake complain. I mean WTF! You purchased a rep and you complain that its a fake?! Reps are not for you.

Nice....guess no kids running around in the vicinity

If youre referring to this....its grand.

Done T.

So Andrew finally replied and he said he will try to reship another watch via DHL or FEDEX. Been receiving mixed reviews about both of them so who knows. Hope it doesn't get seized again. Provided a different address. If I don't get it this time, thing I'll retire from the rep game. Fingers crossed.
Sounds good. Hope it gets to you unscathed.
BTW - did you get QC pics on the reship?

You might want to install a dash cam next time. You never know what could happen next time. I think some get activated by sound or motion.

AD is trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting buyer. Makes you wonder how many have been victimized by this. No way the AD not know that its a rep.
