Looking on Cartier's site, the gen has blue hands, while this one has black ones. However, everything else looks pretty spot on.

Pretty sure that's just the photos.

The ones on the Cartier sites probably photo shopped or enhanced.

I had a rep of this and I played with the gen and they both had blue hands, but only under certain lighting situations it looked blue. It looks black 99% of the time.

Sorta hard to describe...

Thanks 58285.
That's good to know. On the Cartier website, it looks vibrant blue (not blackish at all).

Sharrkey, nice hookup!!! I almost bought this at full price a couple of weeks ago. I paid 160 for a 21J version of this watch last year!! What a great deal for a great rep!!! I just placed my order. Between this watch and the $98 pasha from Tony, I have a whole cartier section going on.

Thanks sharrkey and 58285.

Because of the two of you, I placed an order for this, as well as the Santos 100 and the red Porsche 6340.
Adding these three to my collection has forced me to consider purchasing another winder box.

I received my QC pics this morning and the hands are indeed blue not black.

I paid this morning, waiting on QC. I am actually surprised toro does QC pictures on clearance specials. I am also not used to such quick service!


Edit: I just added a nautilus (Swiss ultimate with blue dal to the order)....there goes my budget!

Fantastic!
Thanks for sharing that info. Makes all the difference for me, and really happy I placed an order yesterday.

 

[jamesfl]

Now just waiting for the QC pics of my Santos!

Too bad this price is on the large. If it were a sale on the mid-sized I would be tempted.

 

[jamesfl]

Soze here is one of my QC pics, the hands are definitely blue.

Thanks for sharing jamesfl!

i emailed toro and he confirmed the hands are blue...

Appreciate if senior bros can advise on the make of this watch i.e. in terms of accuracy as compared to gen pls ..

cheers

Isn't it funny how it does that? My QC pics are the exact same. From head-on, it looks black, but looking at the side, the hands are blue.

As sharrkey suggested, nothing to do but to wait for it/them to arrive and enjoy the watch(es). I'm sure they'll be great, and especially because of the excellent pricing.

I didn't buy this one because of the date font. It looks way off to me.

I posted a few pics in this thread.

In my photos the hands look black also, but in real life they are blue. I think it depends on the lighting in the photograph.
