The seconds at six dial outline should go through the cannon pinion the other thing is the crown guards should have a raised outline on the side.

Yes that should be a raised outline it appears that the one in the pic is not raised the other issue is the gem in the crown should not be raised.

Been looking for this watch with a brown leather strap. Is this a different version? I believe you said yours was 21J and this says 23J. Is this the best version out right now? http://www.truetime168.com/goods.php?id=134

http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=75_150&product_id=1025 this is the most correct version available. I would just order this and ask toro for a deployant clasp and buy a decent strap as the rep ones usually suck. Then you have a bracelet and a killer strap too.

If you look on Cartier's website, it appears some have a silver dial and others a plain white dial. Example: http://www.cartier.us/collections/t...-de-cartier/w7100036-calibre-de-cartier-watch

Is that white, or is it just a bad picture? Also, it looks like Toro's 6-dial is a little low on the watch.

That's a silver dial just bad lighting. Look at the first picture I posted in this thread it looks almost white but if you look at the second it's silver. Your right toros is a little low. It should look like mine that I got from Stan. Honestly I think the one from Stan looks better than anything I've seen on TD websites.

Yes the sub dial is white it should be silver. The date wheel looks silver but it's really hard to tell from the pics.
