jamesfl Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Was checking out Toro's website last night and notice he had a bunch of Ebel's listed for only $148. I emailed him to see what the deal was and he said this was his Xmas Special and they would only be available at this price until Dec. 31st. For those not familiar with these models they are great reps that look awesome and are quite substantial. This a great price for a watch with a a7750 movement from a great Trust Dealer. At this price I am tempted to pick up a Panda even though, I already have the 1911 BTR yellow on leather. Here is the link for those interested:http://www.torobravos.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=81_90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchman12345 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Basically every post so far is saying how great they are! They are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes, Ebel used to have some nice watches.. unfortunately, the brand today is pretty much dead. I looked at their current collection at their website. To say it's boring would be a compliment... Too bad! (It doesn't take any of the beauty of the 1911 of-course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfl Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 IMPORTANT REMINDER - When you get your Ebel be sure to tighten all the screws, especially the bezel screws. I've had them go missing in the past and getting replacements in the future might be very difficult. Toro told me that the manufacturer will be discontinuing this model once this run is gone.

Ephry73 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 If I had the cash I would jump on one of the BR02s in SS and worry about mod'ding it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranzmizzion Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Modding the br? What does it need? Picked up the non chrono ss. Yo avoid that sunken datewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianpelooza Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 hi guys, received my disco today from Toro. I will be posting a review soon but i need some help as this is my first rep and I do not want to mess it up. the watch seems alright, but i cant pull the crown at all.... is there anyone facing the same issue or do you guys have any tips? the crown moves but it looks like it is getting unscrewed when i do, so i stopped it there. thanks B Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfl Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It has a screw down crown. Turn counterclockwise to unscrew it. 1st position is to wind it. Pull the cown out slightly to second position to set the day and date, then pull the crown out to the finally position to set the time. When done push the crown back in and screw it back down. Do not set the day and date when the time on the watch is between 10:00 and 2:00. I usually advance the time to 6:00 to set the day and date, then set the time. There are some threads about the A7750. I would recommend you read about them as there are some do's and don'ts that you need to be aware of to avoid screwing up the movement. Now post some Pics!!
