So the consensus is that the yellow gold is more realistic than the rose gold??

They look nice but to me the dial needs turning slightly clockwise on all of them as the day is slightly right justified and the date sat too low in the window.

Ordered from Trusty yesterday and received QC today. That already had me scared... didn't take long to reject it. The obvious flaws I see are:
- The 4 o'clock index. The spacing is way off and two lines look stuck together.
- The day and date wheel are a little offset.

What are your thoughts? Is +9s/d acceptable or way too much?

I think you did the right thing. +9 secs is a lot i wouldnt take anything above 5 imo. Also the 4 o clock marker does really look bad

That's funny my 1st QC was +9 from trusty as well. This may have been my 1st rejected one. Same issue with the 4 marker as well

[MENTION=132946]Tazmo[/MENTION] I have a feeling the Roman numeral dials are going to be a problem and very hard to get one with perfect numbers.

So now Andrew has to get two of the same watches for both of us lol

Are these issues a modder can fix?

I'm not 100% sure so I will let one of the more experienced guys answer that but I think it depends on how the numbers are attached to the dial bc it might leave holes or marks to move them.

So you rejected this watch?

Good call.

Well hopefully our next watches are both keepers.
I don't think Andrew is going to like if I reject a 3rd one.

What about day date alignment? Is that something a modder can perfect? If so I won't be too strict about it as I will likely have it modded once I receive it.

Just a matter of getting the timing right and indexes.

Hey bro - I accepted mine from Toro, you think i made the right move? I didn't even ask for a time accuracy reading. I think i'm just so anxious to get my hands on it.
