I am talking about that,
I know he says its a high beat but if you know how to differentiate a high and low beat 6497 you will know its a low beat (balance wheel and gears).
Crystal has more distortion that previous versions (each batch seems to get worse).
I emailed Toro and he said himself the lume was not as good as previous versions.
This is the same watch in the pics posted up at the start of this thread.
price seems to have gone up from when it was first listed as well. It was $388 initially and now its at $408.

Hey ddcha, honestly, there isn't much of a difference and I wouldn't let it be the deciding factor if you like the watch. There are several other issues here that, visually, a larger balance wheel isn't going to be the first tell, if at all. From the front, only about half the people I have shown a 18k vs a 21.6k movement to were able to tell the every so slight difference (and some of those probably got lucky). That and upgrading the movement is also a possibility, if you really need the 21.6k bph.
I agree, the low beat moment is not so much a dealbreaker as it is decorated well. although it really depends on how badly you want a 127 and what compromises you are willing to take for getting one from a TD or waiting to get one from M2M.
As the OP said, his TD recommended to stay away from this one. Even Toro says the lume isn't as good as previous version, I think you can also see in the pic its not particularly good. and the bad distortion in the crystal is a massive dealbreaker for some people, although you can get a WSO crystal btu thats another $150 just for the crystal.
Toro says only 10 available so act fast!
Dammit! Think he'll take a broken Blackbird and 14 used nato straps as a trade? Watch fund is light these days [emoji20]
Its on TSWatch with no indication of limited stock

Wow, those pictures looks way better than pictures from Toro... But is this really low beat movt. ?
Low beat and sapphire distortion are deal breakers for me. Misrepresentation by toro also. I will wait for the kw and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.

This model is available on Toro's site at the moment (http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=127&product_id=1392) but the lume seems too much "greeny" on daily pics.
As there is still no release date for the 127 ZF version, I will probably buy one of these from Toro (I know I am weak...:whistling
, but do you think it will be possible to make a good relume (more white to be close to gen) of it ?
And who is the best to do that in EU (Domi ?)
Thanks
