$140 Arktos 092 from Toro

I'd like to hear some opinions on this watch as well. According to Ale's guide, it's a good rep, doesn't look like it made first class status though...but for $140, you get a 7750 mvmt and sapphire crystal, if it's a somewhat accurate rep, seems like a good deal.
I would actually consider the toro PAM092 a first class rep. In terms of quality versus price it is a nice selection.
High points:
caseback seems correct
Proper A-F Contemporary CG (not high quality, but least right shape)
decent dial accuracy
good hand shape
Low Points:
bad crown
Mid point dashes on rehaut ring need to be lumed
date wheel is thin font
bezel pips and markers are poorly shaped
again there is enough correct on this watch for me to call it a low grade first class rep.

Well, 2 more bad points
Mid point dashes on entire dial is missing
Lume on hands are more yellowish than lume on dial, unlike gen where the hands are whiter
The quality on his 252L is pretty poor out of the box... It requires major modding...I suggest a one of a kind gen dial, gen hands, a custom CG and custom milled rehaut....see below

Your build is really nice Grim. Excellent result! Maybe bezel indexes need a further little work, but it's great
