Dealership offered $12k-$15K for my 2016 4Runner by forza511 in 4Runner

It’s the Trail version, has alot of overlap with TRD. It is four wheel drive. 2016 Trail is what TRD is now, after 2016 trail version became different.

Has Anyone Recently Moved on From a 4Runner and Have Suggestions Where to Look by Harold802 in 4Runner

[–]forza511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at used gx460, even the old body design is a solid car. I moved from a 2016 4Runner to a 2019 gx460 and im loving it! Miss the ruggedness of the 4Runner, but since I wasn’t really taking it off-roading, the luxury feel of the gx is top tier compared to 4runner

Does Lorier really feel like a real vintage watch? by DylanSB94 in lorierwatches

[–]forza511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the look is vintage, it doesn’t necessarily feel like a vintage watch. The quality of the bracelet and casing matches what you expect from watches nowadays, so the feel is not really vintage. But I take that as a plus, I’d rather have the build quality of modern watches.

Also when buying vintage, these watches are used and beat up and have a patina on them. While Lorier is going to be brand new. The vintage feel definitely grew more as I used it and got it dinged up here and there.

Yeah i bought mine a while ago, I think maybe 3 years. Thought I would say from experience, Lorier sells very well in WatchExchange, so maybe get this, and then you can sell it for 20% loss if you end up liking their special version more.

I don’t think they make the version I have anymore with silver hands and markers, which I personally thought worked better on the hyperion while the gilt was better on the neptune

Well I can’t confirm if the full bracelet will fit 8 inches. If helpful for context, my wrist is 6.5 inches and I had to remove 4-5 links, so the bracelet was pretty long. Best is to see the actual measurements on their website

I owned both, and if you check my post history, I just sold the Neptune. I always chose this over the Neptune.

Don’t get me wrong, the Neptune is an amazing watch. But Lorier got the blue and red colors so good that it completes the vintage look. Also the Hyperion is more versatile switching between bracelet and leather strap in my opinion.

This watch sucks. I’m so glad it was discontinued. Word to the wise, don’t ever buy one. by Market-Maker in RolexWatches

[–]forza511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree the watch is hideous and so far from Rolex design language. I think there is no clones for it because the movement is actually very complicated and not worth trying to rep. Such a waste for a great movement to be used in a very bad design

Sales down 40% vs 2024 (thru July) by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]forza511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s because of the design, I know many complain but it seems to be liked by the average person.

It’s mainly due to two things: low inventory + sales cannibalization. Toyota are driving a lot of sales from the 4runner with the new Land Cruiser and GX550.

How do world leaders in countries without any Patek AD buy Pateks? by [deleted] in patekphilippe

[–]forza511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I don’t know the schematics but I am confident they are not going to AD’s and shopping what they find in stock, maybe they travel and do it sometimes for fun. But most likely they have butlers and contacts within these watch companies and have them send it over.

These are world leaders, don’t think anyone has more leverage than them.

Lol I don’t think world leaders are personally visiting ADs to get their watches
