@rcom440 absolutely beautiful! If it is still available from Toro at the price you give I will definitively get one.

He still should have them for that price.
It’s a badass dress watch, it looks masculine without being too beefy.

It may look big in pics but to me, in real life, case actually looks slightly smaller than Rolex Ceramic Submariner

OK thanks! What is the best way to contact Toro for it since it's not on their website? PM on the forum or contact form on the site?

Its absolutely stunning. I'm considering buying it, but i'm in doubt if i want this or the 1815 Tourbillon RG Handwerkskunst, which looks amazing. But i think i will go for this, because i'm afraid of the gold fading. Do you have an opinion on this?

Also are you still pleased with it..
Did you get the strap for it? What are the strap measurements. I wanna know, because i have a strap which i can probably use for this.

I prefer silver / white gold version over RG. In my opinion it looks better but that’s just my opinion. I also wear dark suits with white shirts and this watch matches those outfits but it’s not on a daily basis. Usually I wear Rolex Sub or gmt.
i still absolutely love this watch. I don’t see any other dress watch reps beating it when it comes to look, finish, and overall quality.
I never changed strap, I probably should - maybe one day.
strap width at the lugs is 22mm and 18mm for the buckle. What kind of strap do you have?

It's a calf leather, but it's 20/18. So it won't fit. Thank you for the clarification. Maybe i will go for this pairing it with a matte azure blue gator strap.

You are perfectly sure about the measurements? Coz i usually order the strap at the same time as the watch.

Have any one thought of modding it? I mean the three screws on the tourbillon on gen are silver. On the rep they are blue. It should be possible to change their colour.

Maybe more difficult to put a seconds hand on the tourbillon.

A good watchsmith should be able to do something maybe.

It’s possible to mod screws, it’s should be too difficult.
Im not sure if admins second hand would be even possible.
i don’t think I will mod mine - I’m totally happy with it.

Yeah the tourbillion needs some work to be 'gen-like' for sure. The saber handles are perhaps the biggest fault and I don't think there's a way around that.
