JLC Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon [Rose Gold / Silver]

Recommended Posts

Monkey_Business

Welcome!

 

 

 

 

Nice of you to drop by!

I'm going to leave a few words, and a small heap of pictures below.

 

This is my newly acquired dress-watch. Will probably not have as much arm-time as deserved, but I'm saving it for special occasions :)

Compared to the genuine one, I can't really see any differences other than the flying tourbillon itself - Which obviously is a big difference. (Different bridge and details)

I asked Josh about it, and he claims this is a Seagull movement - Now, I see that Seagull prices their watches quite heavily, so I'm expecting some level of quality here. Especially since the watch was just below 700$.

 

I had it taken to a watchmaker to adjust the leather strap - The person behind the desk was obviously not the most tought employee, as she mistook it for a genuine one.

 

All in all, I love it. I have been waiting a long time to buy a dress watch, because I did'nt really know what I wanted - when I saw the tourbillon, I did..!

 

Can't really tell you anything about reliability - I will let you know if something happens!

Very nice and pure watch! there are amazing! especially the gyrotourbillion by JLC is a sight to behold! Wear it in good health and enjoy the steady rotations of a Tourbillion. The JLC Master Control is an amazingly pure dress watch! Up there with the Calatrava!

Thanks for your kind words!

 

After some use (I know, I said "dress watch" but I have been cheating) I've noticed it has a crazy power reserve. Most of my reps does not run for more than a day in the watch box after usage - This lasts a mere weekend without usage :)

I asked Josh what movement was in it, and he briefly stated it was a "Asian Flying Man Tourbillon made by Seagull".

 

That got me thinking, and after some research I THINK it might be a modified TianJin ST8000 movement (Modified from handwound to automatic).. Any thoughts on this?

Everything looks bloody similar (Gear placements, sizes etc.). The only differences I see through the caseback is the backplate of the movement itself, with the auto-winding mechanism.

 

I'll throw in a few pics.

Use this for repherence: (Stolen from BigDee62: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=36615)

A few months in now, and it still beats like a train. Some watches start to feel "flimsy" after some time, but this is going strong. Love the flying tourbillon!
