jm22 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I just ordered my first rep from Toro, Noob LMPO and I'm very excited. I received the QC pics below, and I do not see any obvious problems, but I am new to this. I would appreciate any input that you could provide. Thank you.

SSTEEL Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 The only stand out flaw that would do my head in is the 1 of 12 being crooked on the dial. Something easily sorted out though, so not a reason to reject it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm22 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 How do you sort that out? I would be worried to do it myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I would remove the movement from the case, remove the hands, and dial, and then from the rear of the dial remove the adhesive that the rep factories apply to secure the marker to the dial. I would then modify the marker securing feet, and relocate it onto the dial, and put everything back Edited October 11, 2014 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm22 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 This one appears to be a little better, lume shot also looked a bit tidier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoman83 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 This one appears to be a little better, lume shot also looked a bit tidier. This is the first LMPO pearl that I've seen that is misaligned. Also, forget about trying to fix the crooked 1 in the 12 marker. Those that say it can be done are speaking in theory and not about the LMPO specifically. The dial is a painted glossy enamel so if you think you can move things around without messing it up then more power to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already accepted. can that be fixed? If so, what are the options? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcardoza Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You'll never notice it on your wrist. Only with a zoomed photo. Don't agonize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually looked at some gens today and the AD told me that the gens have the same problem sometimes. This watch is a test run anyways, I'm going to buy a real one in a couple months with my holiday bonus.

pezzy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 this one is mine (on its way!). first order from toro as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Perfect pezzy! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzy Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) received it a few days ago and it's pretty sweet! although attention to details is still lacking a little, similar to the v4 days in my opinion. was surprised by the deployment and divers extention. locks in tight. i was expecting a v4 bracelet going by all the bad reviews. on a bradys sailcloth (don't get the matching stitching, the guy just sharpies the threads lol).
