dusk

He is a decent guy. I've bought three from him and he's been answering emails from me till the wee small hours. Stick at it my friend :-)

Looks much much better

I've managed to bag a TC LV with Wm9 insert and TC pearl

Can't wait to get the screwdrivers into its case (only joking lol)

I was gonna sell this but I'm liking it's look with the NATO. I think the different strap justifies having two LVs.

I'd like to have a good DWO installed so I'll start making inquiries. Also have a gen crown for it

Beauty! Wear in good health.

As for my part; I decided to buy the v6 from psychospike (TD on RWI), but he only accepted WU. I tried, but the site kept giving me error notifications.

So I went to intime (Ryan) and ordered, but his site doesn't accept Visa atm due to some technical problems.

Now: torobravos. I paid with my Visa, but the payment didn't go through. He told me to call my bank and do some stuff. I did that and tried again, but haven't got any confirmation mail on my payment and no response from Toro. Maybe since the time was 6 PM or something in HK.

Best day ever.

Oh hell, I've only had a couple of mints of the rep hobby and that sounds about right. It's 50% pain 50% pleasure it seems. I'm gonna try to stick to m2m sales from now on, buying from China is bad for my nerves

Don't give up though these watches are incredible I'm admiring it more than the rest,

Ahhhh so thats what you was waiting for then mate! very nice AP

Cheers mate, I never new about ap till I joined this forum but I'm smitten with this thing. I can't find a single thing wrong with it, feels awesome in the wrist :-)

Seems to have gained just 11 seconds in the 28 hours since I set it - good stuff.

I have my LMPO. Fantastic watch but I'm not sure of the bezel feel, the clicks don't feel solid like my noob sub? Same with you? Other than that it's fab

Can you tel me is it just pins ie metal rods holding the bracelet? I can't seem to budge with my pushers? Is it just brute force to shift them mate?

Cape cod is not a tool for roughing up a watch. It will actually bring out your polish. It's a cloth designed to remove scratches and ad back a high polish look.

Scotch pad worked a treat on the nasty shiny case sides buddy

Best advice buy a v6 mine arrived and is magnificent!

arrived today. v6 diver

Yeah Dusk, I walk out in my driveway and the Milky Way is a stark band across the sky.  With my handheld (image stabilizing) binoculars I can see the moons of Jupiter, and the terrain of the surface of the Moon where the impact craters disappear over its horizon are clear enough you can almost touch them. Then the Northern Lights come out and you can convince yourself you hear them crackling as they dance around. Yep ... stunning!

Sounds utterly magnificent! You are very lucky to be so intimate with the cosmos. Get yourself a Celestron c8 with goto on astro mart buddy ;-)

Wow Wee!

 

I'm into astronomy in winter big time. I bet your skies are stunning in the dark season dude. 

 

We have to travel pretty far to get away from light pollution here. 

Looks fantastic!

It's 42mm right?

Yes buddy these are 42mm 

Cool!   My LMPO appears to be in the hands of my local post office as well!   I'm guessing it'll be in my hands in a few hours. @dusk --- This will be my 8th REP to go along with a GEN Breitling Chrono Evo.   I've already got my eye on a BlackSteel Super Avenger from Toro.   Not sure how long I can hold off ordering it!   My wife thought I was nuts until I got her a gorgeous Hublot Big Bang (Rose gold on a white strap).   Nor she's hooked too!!!!

Haha I buttered the wife up with a nice MOP date just

It's just arrived too! Roll on 5pm and the end of work!

Dusk/fraggle I paid the same as dusk $35 dont know if it actually hit french soil but the tracking info was strange on route , none the less it was here in just over a week which was awesome. congrats Dusk landed on terra firmadont forget wristy shots D.

Cheers mate, it had a brief holiday in Frankfurt Germany and now is with the mailman for a pre 2pm drop.

The wife is under strict house arrest until it comes.

AP ROO V6 and LMPO

Also have a v5 pumpkin and TC 16610LV en route.

I've promised no more spending on fake watches now (until i see something I like lol)

Cartier

 

Member for 2 days, zero feedback and located in bradistan. Says it all really. I've reported him to eBay for peddling $10 fakes for £750

I sent him a message and he's argued that because he never mentioned rolex then it's a fashion watch. A bloody expensive one at that

* edit. It clearly states rolex as manufacturer. Scumbag of the highest order

Oh my. I can't see the problem? The links look solid gold and the cyclop and date look bang on. Plus the hour markers and lumes are perfectly aligned? The coronet is at a bit of a jaunty angle... Is it from Burger King?

Ok I'm lying but I'm sure it looks ok after 10 pints of vodka?

I envy you. That's some damn fast shipping. Gotta upload some pictures tomorrow!

I've mailed toro and also sent him a PM on repgeek, but he doesn't answer me. It's been a couple of days since sending him some questions. 

Nevertheless, I think I'll order from Ryan tomorrow. Still not sure which version, though.

My only slight criticism of toro is that if something isn't right in qc they always have an excuse (lighting, shadow, reflection, camera angle) so be firm and they always come back with a better pic or new watch. It's the Asian way of business I think but be aware and tell them what you want to see.

Good luck mate which ever you go for and of course I'll post pics. I've collected some really great reps in my short journey.

Dusk

True, but some flaws are more "important" than others. Flaws that can be seen from far are more significant than for example it being superlumed or not. 

 

Haha. Which TD did you use? And how long did it take (presuming it arrives tomorrow.)

Posted from HK on Friday night. Just cleared uk customs (20:40 tonight) will arrive tomorrow along side a LMPO.

Nice work by ToroBravos

Fingers crossed for tomorrow

I've gone for a v6 should arrive tomorrow. I thought it WAS noob. Bloody rep game is so confusing!

No screws just pins, you'll a reasonable pin pusher too not the cheap plastic one.

Great thanks I've got a couple of pin pushers in my kit

BOOM!

And she is in Birmingham!! (UK)

Smiley face smily face smily face

Panic over gents, as you were...

My tip on the bracelet is not to try and remove the pin of the half-link. It has an arrow but don't be fooled! If you do the entire end will likely fall off and need fixing. The tube that holds the pin also seems to be a slightly thinner diameter on this link too which limits your options for using one from another link if you lose it.

Nice one thanks! I know I need two links out from my last PO that I regretted selling but that had tiny little crews holding in metal bars. Is this the case with this model?

My 389 from Toro came via DHL direct to the UK I think.

 

What service did you choose that went via Germany (and France?).

 

Whatever that is, it sounds way more dodgy than one that just goes direct to the UK.

Not sure about degsy but I went for the expensive expressed tracked order DHL. I think it was around $35 extra. I think our trusted dealers use different courtiers to avoid attention?

Looking great. So do you have any tips for adjusting the bracelet? A few of us have LMPO watches coming from what I gather. Me included. Would a small drop penetrating oil help?

Edit* Oops I just noticed you were on the other thread so you know who's waiting lol
