Peashooter Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Firstly, you shouldn't of paid the premium asked for a Swiss movement because its highly unlikely you will have a Swiss factory fresh movement fitted, you will more than likely have a used, old Swiss movement with Asian parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Peashooter Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Nice quality pictures from Toro. Zoom-ed in and managed to see the 2836 marking on the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoffry2 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's a good looking watch. I can't find it on Toro's site (or any site for that matter) though. I've been looking for a Ti PO just like this with anything other than a noisy Miyota in it. Was this a custom order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peashooter Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 No it's not a custom order, its a standard off the shelf piece from him. http://www.tb-688.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_128_129&product_id=774 My order is still in transit...stuck over in China for the past 7-10 days sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
