aye aye AYE...
Now I want this one too!
Did you get it from Toro?
Is the dial solid white or more of a cream white like in your pictures?
Its actually a very light silvery white like the gen and it looks creamy because its under a yellowy light. I think I got it from Toro, but wouldn't swear to it.

Cool, still waiting on my black dial, though it is en-route and tracking is alive now so soon I will have it finally. The I will know if I want the white dial too.

BTW, Leather band looks right at home on this one brotha!

Thanks bro and i'm looking forward to what you think when you get yours. Just fyi strap is from Strapsco i was looking for a red leather for my panerai and struggled till i found these guys who gave a great range of colours and stitching and are really reasonable cost wise. Find them on Amazon.

[MENTION=132141]andrei01[/MENTION]: Every part of this bracelet has been overworked. Grinded, brushed etc. Clasp is a tough part. Mostly these B-Clasps are bended. So you have a lot of work here, too.

Glad its with you at last my friend! Looks terrific, what are your thoughts and impressions now you have it.

Thanks buddy
Overall I am loving it, the head itself is bar none, from the quality of the material to the precision markings on the rotating chapter ring matching up wit the rehaut portion of the dial.
The issue I have and I think can be resolved with a little TLC is the bracelet. While sizing the bracelet I noticed a lot of black gunk in the holes and between the link sections (which btw are a PITA, THANKS GE Engineering lol).
I heated up some water in the microwave added some dawn dish washing soap, and soaked each half while holding the head, hoping it would break down all the gunk and dissolve it. It did help a little but I need to use CLP on the bracelet now and then wash it again after a good CLP soaking.
I like the bracelet, It's dirtiness reminds me of bracelets on the china reps we use to get 5-10 years ago (horrible).
