Experience with Toro
An easy to use web site with decent pictures of the different factory versions of the same watch so they can be easily compared.
He quickly answers questions bearing in mind that he’s in a different time zone.
This is not necessarily a shop but more of a middle man who has ready access to the various factories. It is worth emailing before purchasing as one of my choices even though it said available was not when I checked.
Day 1 Payment was an issue as my bank wouldn’t authorise the Credit Card payment, but Western Union was easy enough and you are notified once the funds are collected at the other end. I guess Western Union is a bit of a leap of faith for new people like myself.
Day 2 The money was collected and watch was then ordered from the factory for him to QC and send pics so that they can be compared to the online pics.
Day 3 Two days after paying high res pictures of the actual watch were sent for me to ok. The pictures were high res, a lot better than the website ones and the watch looked better quality than the one on the website. Agreed it was ok.
Day 5 informed delivery would be 5-7 days
Day 6 tracking number supplied
Day 10 Delivered. No Import charges to pay unlike genuine Speedmaster I bought from Japan! Watch was way better than on web site. I had reservation about the clasp but it looked great when it arrived. Works fine and is +6 secs a day which is way better than my Genuine Datejust which gains non stop and my wife’s Genuine Datejust which constantly looses time.
For a first time experience this was totally painless and will certainly use them again in the future.
