They repped the extra special version (which received some backlash because it had a sellita based movement instead of the in-house)...lovely watch but disappointing that they didn't rep the type 20 GMT (48mm).

I love it but don't know how it would wear on 7'' wrist. :/

How big is it? It makes that look like a 10 year old girls wrist.

If it is 42 to 44mm I'll put it on my list.

looks better than the version currently on toro's site... I'll probably bite on this. Love those raised numerals!

Huh I don't know why I thought it's 50mm or something like that. I'm now really tempted if price is right but correctly engraved caseback would be nice as mentioned above. :/

Yes. Case back is not perfect (gen below for reference). But it isn't too bad either... and anyway, completely invisible when you wear it. :))

The type 20 GMT is 48mm. They did a special edition of the type 20 GMT that is 57.5mm. The extra special and extra special bronze are both 45mm. There is also a 40mm version of the type 20 GMT.

The watch does not wear too big because the lugs are so small so even the small wristed folk should be able to pull it off

That's great, thanks for info mate! It will for sure look good on the wrist but I'll wait for some wristies before pulling the trigger.

I don't know why, but I do love this watch and will get one. Maybe it is the "hand mode" strap!! LOLAnd why is it that the dial has "EXTRA SPECIAL" written on it? Is this really the extra special model that has been repped?

It's really for those extra broke people that can't afford one of their other watches with in house movements..

I think the unique lugs is the reason I'm drawn to this. Even at 45, it'll probably wear smaller than a 3777 or 47mm PAMs.

The original watch excellent. A copy of the trashy. The movement can be installed st 2130. The case at the original 45 mm, so the hands look bad. I want to buy a good copy. This copy full rubbish.
