Toro's drop-down menu shows leather as an option. Anyone heard back from him on this? Leather with deployant?

Also here is my approved QC. Crystal doesn't look cloudy at all. Seems fine to me.

do you other other pics where the domed crystal is visible? thanks

 

[Tb1991]

Did you email him Buddhist? I pm'd no reply! Keen to get one they look like a nice piece!

Ill be interested in one of these if the leather strap is decent, not a big fan of steel bracelets due to skinny wrists

I wouldn't get your hopes up on the leather. Quite a few have received theirs and noted that the only good thing about the leather strap is the Deployant with the Tudor logo.

What's your wrist size? The BB bracelet can be resized easily on your own.

Looks great Buddhist! For $158 that's really a deal.

Yup the leather strap is total crap. But the deployment is fairly nice

Does anyone know if this 21j version with the 2813 movement use the same dial and hands as the full 2824 V3 version. I only ask as over half a dozen or so A2824 movements laying around that I would love to transplant into one of these. I know I still won;t have the sapphire but at least is have a more reliable movement. Thanks in advance.

 

[higginsd]

Don't transplant them - sell them!

 

[brandan_20]

But if I get one of these will I be able to transplant in a A2824?

I don't see why not. From what Ken has told me the only difference is the movement and the crystal

Did you get this in yet? How is it so far?

Yep wear if every few days. Really nice piece for the money for sure. I would say a def buy if you're looking for a daily beater. Crystal is in need of AR but everything else about the watch is the same as it's big brother.

Any chance of a photo showing the crystal? Would be interested to see if it is flat or has the same profile as the more expensive sapphire.

Factories have done releases of good models with cheaper components.

I bought this 2813 IWC MARK XVII aka the cheaper model in person the crystal is not cloudy but you can defiantly sense something with the movement when you shake it/handle it.

For all those on the fence the movement is the only real problem, and would buy a this $158 special 21j. Soras pics(link I posted) do a very good job of depicting mineral glass.
