My lovely SMP 300m Chrono on customised strap. Replaced stock A7750 with a Hamilton A05H21 but haven't gotten to changing to the correct date wheel @ 3pm
My Project X Heritage HS01 by Toro.
Well I am impressed by the markings as it looks like everything that should be there is there.
There is some issues though which I find annoying.
The crown is 7mm instead of 8mm which is much more desirable.
The AR on it is nothing to shout about, you can see the difference in reflection of the spotlight pictures I took in comparison with the rep IWC, the IWC wins hands down.
Hi guys,
Recently received a watch from a TD, when the case was opened up by the watchsmith, I was a surprised with the markings on the movement cause it's looks like a ETA2824-2 to me (I know nothing about watches). Can some one tell me if it's the real thing or a replica? Thanks
No lug holes and I don't think it's a 8mm crown. The red triangle market on the bezel is not a good as the one by Tempus Machina obviously. Lug holes & the crown can be solved if one is willing to throw money into the project but the bezel and dial by TM is problem that is not easily solved. Just the QC pics so gotta wait 2-3 weeks before it reaches me.
What a mistake reading this....i am now poorer by a few hundred bucks as I fell in love with it and had to get it. Got the Project X Heritage HS01 hehehe
No it's not a custom order, its a standard off the shelf piece from him.

My order is still in transit...stuck over in China for the past 7-10 days sigh
Yeah, i am prepared for that. As long as the cal.8500 decorated/engravings is there on the Swiss movement, i can replace those loose/Asian/worn-out parts.
Just placed an order with Toro. My second with him.
Hopes it's really a ETA 2824-2 movement in there.
Anything in particular i show look out for in the QC pics?
Watchsmith had no major problems swapping out the movements but he did mentioned that the case has to be slightly tweaked, didn't pushed him for details. So you guys can consider taking this besides the base ETA7750 model.
