teton236 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 now that the price is sorted.... would anyone offer their opinion as to which is the "best buy" out of the box among the black, grey, blue themes and safari? from what Ive read the black themes is the "best" choice. I really have liked the safari since it came out but scrolling threw all the AP picture thread you don't see many 2014 Safaris. make me wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedeplume Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The Safari n black themes are the good buys of the lot. Safari dial V2 looks ok. Note that J12 are releasing their new 2014 AP with decorated movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverking2 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 That's interesting that black theme is better than other themes? Why is this? Is it more accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now decisions....strap or bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geestyleed Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) As stated above, the Safari and the Black themes are the best of the four from Toro's offer when compared against gen. Grey + Blue colours are off. I have read several times that the Noob Safari and the Black Themes are as nearly as good as the JF - for 200$ less it is a great deal. If you go for a leather strap, you probably have to replace it for a "better" aftermarket strap ($130-250).

teton236 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 so opt for the rubber then? and upgrade later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep123460 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 The JF's are the best in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 did a quick search and didnt see much about the differences. Toro has the noobs on sale this month and wondering if a good buy? thanks in advance I've spent some time studying the noob vs jf vs gen for the 2014 safari In brevity, I'll ask you to get the noob for the more accurate case. Strap wise, the jf is better but I'll recommend the noob over the jf for the crystal, datewheel surround, and dial quality. The decorated jf movement could be a plus if you care for it, but if you have seen the gen, the jf movement decoration is still very far off and would never be mistaken for the gen except by those with serious myopia or no knowledge of AP watches.

panerai153 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Pretty much a no brainer, the noob is 200.00 USD cheaper, and our resident expert has spoken, "noob is better" You can always change the strap later if you so desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
