Torsti makes beautiful watches with wonderful customizations
Feb 16, 2021,12:29 PM
Which is evidenced in my watch. I bought my watch pre-owned, so I zero say in said customizations but its “almost” perfect. My watch has rhodium color bridges which doesn’t offer a great deal in the way of contrast, so this is the only thing I am left wanting for more. I have seen almost all the combinations, with the exception of @onlybuyingtime on IG who had 2-tone bridges made. My favorite are the rose gold colored bridges, followed by dark rhodium color bridges.
I really adore the menacing shape of the balance and escape cock... in some ways reminds me of one of my absolute grails... the McGonigle Tuscar.
His utilization of a 6498 is one of the great philosophical debates. IMO, I sleep very easy knowing the movement will have zero issues being fixed or overhauled as long as I live. The watch is quite fun under a loupe and believe it holds up with other timepieces at far greater asking prices. I can guess yours will be no different.
Good luck with your order, I can’t wait to see the results!

I can see why you give it so much wrist time. 👌🏻
It’s a great dial

Not too much this, not too much that, and 1000 shades of blue to enjoy depending on the light.
What a dial!

I love the motif in the center and sub dial.

Thats real skating. I'm just using gravity and a little bit of balance. Oh and the fear of killing my kid.
Thanks my friend

How’s the 372 been treating you? ...
Nice watch.

Have to check the internet ... Did it right now. Like the chrono very much. Drove through Le Locle several times but didn't know about.
Thanks for the photos. Looking good.

I've just placed an order for a Gelidus 2. May I ask what attracted you to Laine, and what you think of the watch? Thanks again.

Hello. Thank you for replying at such length...

... and also detail. All points noted and appreciated. I tend to take a more relaxed approach to details. I've asked for Breguet hands in a last-minute change which I hope can be taken on. If not, no matter, sword hands it is. As far as the dial is concer...
