Sabre i think you are too picky about the watch.
I think its looks great,if you want perfection then buy GEN, this is a rep.
Just enjoy the watch.

Be good guys
This is a hobby to enjoy it !!

Anyway, I agree with sharrkey and jonas, you cannot see a replica as a gen. This is just an advice to enjoy the hobby not an attack to you.

Looking forward to the pics Sharrkey!

Only a few quick ones, been busy greasing and sealingPlus gonna be getting dark here soon, pics are a bit rushed don't worry I'll fill this space soon enough.
Amazes me the quality of these 111's, crown guard is stunning nice super sharp edges, engraving of the serial no is awesome, no worries on crystal height obviously just reflections. One thing that pissed me on the previous version I had was the cannon pin had a slight nipple to it, not any more super flat and polished:maty:More to follow

I received my watch from toro yesterday but i have an issue with the movement. The movement seems to be dead. The watch is fully wounded but the balance wheel and second hand seems to be stationary.

Without sending this watch back to toro, is there any UK rep friendly watchsmiths or any members here willing to take a look at the movement?

Anyone can offer any suggestions on what could be the cause? Looking at the movement, there does not seem to be any screws loose or issues with the watch.

Try to smack your watch several times against the palm of your hand or against a table covered with a towel.
Sometimes they start in this way
Good luck
