1st time buying from Toro.

[Showa321]

I have quite a reps now but to be honest I was getting a bit frustrated with sending WU payments which was a pain as my CC would never work on WU website so I ended up having to go to a place and do it manually with cash. I know its not their fault and they have to be careful but its just me...

Anyway, I have wanted the Sub V5 for ages and I was browsing here, as I do a lot and looked at the watch on Toro's website, and decided to do it all via the website. Credit card worked no problems and I got a payment receipt within a few minutes. In the comments box on the site I asked for QC pics which came the day after. The QC pics are nothing more than for me to see the watch, I expect a good TD to send a good product.

The V5 was on its way... got a tracking number etc and waited like I always do.

Anyway, as I browsed this GOD DAMN SITE I saw Toro's PAM special $158 ones... so I ordered the Tokyo and my friend ordered a Daytona. I had emailed Toro for his opinion on the best watch to buy and he gave me quick advice, and we went with it.
Opted for the fast shipping, paid on the website with ease and sat back.

Email through out was excellent, that something which is important to me and Toro did not disappoint.

Anyway, as luck would have it. All 3 watches arrived yesterday! Perfect timing (excuse the pun)

The watches...

I love the V5 and the PAM. I have always struggled to like PAMs and have always sold them on pretty quickly. I really like this one though, the quality is excellent and I even like the strap... I always like SS straps.

The V5 is exactly what I was looking for. Not perfect but as close as I have seen out of the box, its a lovely watch. Took 2 links out and it fit perfectly.

Dont have a pic of the Daytona as my friend is probably cleaning it, he loves his too.

Was an excellent experience with Toro and would recommend 100%. A great TD, as they all are here.

Just to add to this post.
I decided to order a Rolex box from Toro to go with my V5. that arrived yesterday, very good quality. Amazed how well made they are.

Awesome, the box and accessories definitely look worth it for a watch. I may have accumulated too many by this point though...

What product number is the Tokyo Panerai?

And FYI, I can't view your photobox images, as "this album is no longer shared with you." Is there an option to make it public?

 

[Showa321]

I think its the 415.

Nice purchase! I've been looking to buy a Sub.

What are the flaws that made the Sub v5 "not perfect"?
