I sent one piece back to Trusty, which was received is horrible condition. You need to be very careful, follow the TD's instructions to the letter and have some valium on hand for keeping you patient throughout the process. 1. Be sure to request that the TD send you an address label in CHINESE, which you will add to the side of the box. 2. From the USA, I used USPS Priority Express, which cost me ~$40. It showed delivered in 7 days. 3. Even when it showed delivered, the TD did not acknowledge receiving it for several more days. 4. The repairs took several more WEEKS. 5. Then the typical wait for the shipping back to me. My return shipment originated in Hong Kong, so I'm guessing that's where Andrew has his repair shop. All in all, it took about 10 weeks for the round trip. All the issues were addressed and the watch has worked fine since. That being said, I would probably not do it again. Take the time to find someone to service it in North America, or take SSTEEL up on his offer. It'll be a lot less stressful, but you'll pay a few more $$$$$

Or, we can put it another way....... If you don't send the watch back first, you will get NOTHING back. Makes the decision pretty easy when you look at it that way?

@Hetlijk2 ---- You do need to return the watch first. One thing you can count on is that Toro is trustworthy and will refund you.

Well this was certainly an extreme case, but it points out a serious issue in my opinion. We are buying these from 8-12 thousand miles away. Personally, I would expect enough to of a QC effort on the part of the TD to ensure the watch actually self winds and runs. Problems may happen in shipping and so be it. But the QC phot provided here clearly showed the screw jammed in the rotor. To me, unacceptable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, not to hijack this thread, BUT..... The QC photo of the movement clearly shows a problem. As the TD, you should have caught this as the watch clearly would not self-wind in that condition. We understand you need to control your costs, but we also do not want to spend our money on junk. Doing business half way around the world makes thorough quality checks all the more important! The hard truth is that sending watches back is a risky process and can easily result in you having our money and we having NOTHING. We would all like nothing better than smooth transactions, but to really be a TD, you have to act like it. I've purchased many watches from you myself and never had a problem. Now, I'm nervous because of this glaring issue and your response. All the risk is on the buyer!

Fascinating thread to follow!!!! So disappointing to see this junk being passed off as a Swiss movement by someone with the terrific reputation that Toro has! The ugly side of our hobby..............

Seems awfully expensive. Be prepared for the gold to wear off the clasp VERY quickly if you give it any wrist time. I had one of these as one of my first few reps and quickly came to the conclusion the gold reps are not worth owning.

You're a very patient man..... Regardless of how much or little money is involved, I'd have made a stick about it long ago. Nothing more frustrating then trying to help out a fellow member, only to be screwed. Maybe MoaB can help exert a bit of pressure on the buyer?
