Hi, this is my second replica and the first time I´ve bought Andrew (Trusty Time). The purchase was perfect, good comunication and fast shipment. About the watch, I dont know if it is totally faithful to the gen, but I can say that it is really amazing. The only fault I can see is the lume thickness, is thinner in the replica. The cuallity of the dial is the best, both color and texture are very similar to the gen, identical in my opinion.
The only thing I don´t like very much is the touch of the crown, it is very hard when winding (asian 2824).
I show you some quick pics so that you value yourselves...

How do these compare to other GF releases? Are they on the same level as the Avenger II GMT? Or are they mediocre reps? I quite like the design.

I have only had the colt and the seawolf II from the gf. The colt by far blows it out of the water. The gr8 factory sucks when it comes to brushing of the cases. They do a much better job with polished cases.

Toro sometimes has unbeatable prices because he (she?) buys slow selling models in bulk. That's why his (her?) special prices tend to be cheaper than what other dealers can offer. I would trust Toro that it is a GF Colt and not the ANF.

If that is a GF Colt it is an incredible price.

Guys don’t buy from toro.. I just got cheated!!! This is not a GF factory quality with these type of dial quality! Might be some ANF factory or sub-standard factory made! In fact this is my first purchase from TORO! FUCK Toro!

Any idea on how I get a compensation or replacement from toro?

The sales sites from TORO claimed it is a GF factory watch!

Just another proof: http://www.toro.host/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2875

I spent a fucking 200 USD for just a "pro-claimed" GF factory item!!! #It's from TORO!!!

Pls assist !! Many thanks!

I'm not sure if you didn't read the description or you are just disappointed in the watch you received because the link to your GF sales page clearly says it is ANF?

I'm not sure WTF you are playing at...I would suggest tagging in a mod but that would be a waste of their time.

They did admit is their mistake with an exchange of watch to a GF edition....

Yet I still have to pay USD70 and bare my own shipping cost sending back to them.
Also, if I were to post those QC photos here earlier on..
I might been censor and block by RWI admin within seconds..
So, the conclusion is I agreed to sent back the "SELF PROCLAIMED" GF FACTORY Colt to Toro and chip in another USD 70...
A great deal or a big lost? U nail it..
In my words, I am truly sorry if those !@#&$ words would had offended TORO and others parties, but let's see what's the result when I got a GF Colt quality upon return.
Will update you all here ASAP! CHEERS!

You're correct in that the Colt was originally listed on Toro's site as made by GF (that has since been changed to show ANF as the factory). But there are HUGE differences in quality (and price) between ANF and GF, the price should have tipped you off - as it did for this thread's OP - and the QC pics should have made it clear that this watch is not made by GF. Also, you left out (or maybe didn't know when you posted this) the fact that Toro is going to refund your return shipping costs. So everything worked out for you, correct?

Yes they will bare the shipping cost I will bare the remaining cost to get the GF. I didn't knew it ain't a GF until I read this post! It shocked me when I give in further reading on those ANF...! I would say both side shall have the mistake, where I should have not expect a GF to be at 200 $ and the TD shall not nailed it as a GF at the first sight!
