Stoaty 0 Posted December 22, 2012 I have just had a little bonus and I am going to treat myself to a Tourbillon replica. I was wondering which is the most well replicated watch with a Tourbillon?. Any info would be appreciated. Also if anyone owns a Tourby and wants to post photos of their watches please feel free to post here. Thanks peoples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 22, 2012 JLC. But you better save money for RWG tourbillon watch. Best movement, and... gen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoaty 0 Posted December 22, 2012 RWG are doing a Tourby?. Awesome!!. Thanks for the reply Luthier. Hmmm seems to be quite a few JLC Tourbillons. Were you meaning a specific one?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

machiavegli 6 Posted December 23, 2012 The YouTube video of that JLC tourby is mesmerizing. It's a pity it's a fantasy dial but I want it anyway. I don't own one but I understand the tourby mvmts can be pretty fragile, and sending a watch to Guangzhou for repairs ain't cheap so that's held me back. -Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omni 6 Posted December 23, 2012 There is no accurate tourbi replica. Since the tourbi movement itself used in these replicas is genuine, then why not get an unbranded or nominal branded tourbillon watch or as Luthier said, wait for his RWG tourbi to come out. A tourbi should be appreciated for the movement itself, they are fascinating to watch go around on your wrist. These will hold a resale value in the gen. market. With the movement in a rep. case, it can only be resold in the rep. market, plus, it would not fool any gen. tourbi fan. and open you up maybe to some snotty-nosed ridicule.

BigDee62 0 Posted December 23, 2012 There is no accurate tourbi replica. True, but some are more accurate than others. I love the JLC Luthier mentioned (I have one too) but it is FAR from accurate. This, on the other hand, is quite a bit closer to gen: http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=6367 That's the Breguet Classique Grande Complication Tourbillon 5317BA/12/9v6, google it and compare. I'll post pics of mine when it gets back from servicing by Chris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigDee62 0 Posted December 23, 2012 whats your thoughts on your JLC? Well, I posted it (with wristie) in the recent "your favorite rep" thread, so take that as you will: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=40025&view=findpost&p=693538 I replaced the strap on my Breguet and Chris is getting it rhodium plated ... I want to do the same thing with the JLC but it's already getting wrist time as it is. I'm fortunate to have a work environment where it's not too out-of-place. Be aware of the tourbillon movement, I think this is a Guangzhou or Seagull. The JLC tourbies with the Liaoning movement aren't nearly as nice to look at (I have one of those too but will be posting it in M2M sometime soon). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
