Functioning tourbillon -- any feedback

Recommended Posts

downfromtheglen

So I've been in touch with Mary about the availability of watches with a functioning tourbillon. She can source the following 4 models, all $500 plus.

 

Ska wrote up one of the JLC's, and I'm leaning toward that one, based on his review and, well, because I like the look of it.

 

Read his review here:

Any thoughts on any of these watches?

 

By the way, the pictures from Mary are copyrighted. I think that's fucking hilarious.

Number 1 for me.

 

Classy, simple, uncluttered, and excellent build quality according to the reviews.

 

The others... Gold will wear off, dial on number 2 is a bit cluttered for my taste, and number 4 is not the prettiest skeleton ever seen! lol

 

 

 

All IMHO, of course :Thinking::lol:

Waiting to hear back from Mary on prices for all, but it's definitely over $500.

It's got to be number 1. It oozes class.

Definately number 2, the hands appear to be less off-centre than number 1, if not completely centered. Also the tourbillon looks nicer IMO

 

Good luck with the choice!

Gotta go with number 1 as well.

 

Does Mary still have this Breguet available? http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...showtopic=10079

 

Or this Roger Dubuis? http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...showtopic=10076

 

Nice watches, but may not be your taste.

 

Nice RD, but a little too much going on there. I don't think these are still available. She said these 4 are all that are available at the moment. I'm thinking it'll end up being the first JLC posted above. I'm hoping the price will be closer to $500 than to $600.

Number 1 for me too. Really sexy JL.

Another awesome Tourbillon is the Hublot Big Bang King Power model. I think that is a piece of art but I haven't seen a rep around here. I'm gonna check with Mary if she has something to offer...

 

Anyway, number 1 :P

I recommend looking at Ska's great review and wonderful photos of the JLC tourby.

 

It's a beautiful and amazing watch.

Do they do No.1 without the tourbillon? That's quite an understated yet classy watch. That's up there with the RailMaster in my eyes.

 

EDIT: How much was the Radiomir?

Not sure if there's a non-tourby model of this one. But if it's out there, Mary can find it.

 

The Radiomir is a budget model--$88 plus shipping and such.
