Sometimes I feel sorry for the dealers. Probably get asked a lot to send QC pics and getting such picky feedback like this. Wow, surely not worth their time....

OKAY, I e-mailed Toro to send me this watch. I guess I shouldn't expect much from a replica watch right?, after all, listen to the wise "the key to happiness is low expectation", right?

For those think I am crazy, I am an accountant, pay attention to detail is part of my daily job that I have to be. Details do make big different.

I will do an update review after I receive the watch. Thanks guys for opinions, although, some of you weren't very nice.
Thanks again.

Isn't the UPO got problem with AR coating that need to be replace with the gen glass.
PO 5th generation is 42mm, I want 45mm, so my options are 45 UPO or CrPo right?

Good for you, I believe you won't regret making that decision when the watch arrive.

What many here are talking about is reasonable expectation, not low expectation. Read more to understand what is the level of expectation you can expect with rep watches.

From your research, you found that the CrPO is the best one? Really?

5GPO or UPO
Depends what you want, if you want a clear case back, CrPO is the way to go.
Orange one shouldn't have bezel fading issue, right?

As for Citizen, I have one, and it has the same issues as some reps, misalligned markers, second hand doesn't hit the markers.
And it's a quartz, 90% of times I look at the watch I think it has stopped.
It can't compare to an ETA 2824-2 rep, 8 beats per second is very smooth. And it also has hand winding and hacking. It is also quite precise, my Aqua Terra is +6s per day.

Don't get me wrong, I still like gens, but there are very few good ones for under 500 USD. And when it comes to ETA movement, only Steinhart comes to mind.

the only thing that's actually wrong with this is the lume pearl is a bit low in the 12 o'clock triangle. It should be smack dab in the middle

Hate to pile on but that was one of the better ceramic PO's I have seen. You were way to quick to reject. The TD probably thinks your nuts now!!!

Maybe QQ pic threads aren't so bad after all. Look how much the OP is learning from this one.

The only problem I see with these photos is the hands placement. The minute hand being set at 12 hides a lot of dial detail.

I agree with you on this, but since it is from Toro which a lot people seem to like him in this forum, and i seen some of the watch CrPO of others from him, therefore I am going to blind eyes with him.

I think I am going to be okay. My last shot for the rep. If it didn't work out I figure I can always sell it and go the gen. and call it the end of the day, after all I always like Omega Planet Ocean.

huhmmm, I didn't see that. I guess since the hand was there, so the lume didn't get charge properly as others.
