scamperthecat 0 Posted December 31, 2012 I'm with you guys, this is my first rep, I was originally going to go for a nice safe, cheap Rolex. Have just ordered one of those lovely JLC tourbys from Mary. Super excited!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted December 31, 2012 This tourby on pictures of JLC is nice, but has no one point, that shows seconds. ST-8000 has it. Sharp point, that runs along surrounding subdial. ST-8002 is automatic version of ST-8000, but cost $160 more. http://www.seagullwatch.eu/images/tourbillon/ST8000SA-1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scamperthecat 0 Posted January 5, 2013 Corv I am probably in danger of becoming a copycat here but that is fricking BEAUTIFUL. If you manage to track down a source please let us know or PM me. I am becoming dangerously obsessed with tourbys! JLC not arrived yet but still, so much want...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDee62 0 Posted January 5, 2013 but found my next one, if I ever get any money!!! Maybe one of the TDs can find it. Josh (Perfect Clones) has a black dial version posted on his website, although I'll admit I like the white-dial version you referenced better. http://www.1-pc8838.com/al01012-datograph-moonphase-tourbillon-ssle-black-tourbillon-p-8640.html That's the Hangzhou 3900 movement, BTW.

I am becoming dangerously obsessed with tourbys! JLC not arrived yet but still, so much want...... yes forgot about this one! sure when he gets back to me I'll let you know.... I may even mve some of mine on to fund this thing as its serious bit of kit, from memory its about $80 / $100 more than JLC... but its superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corv99 2 Posted January 5, 2013 OK he has PM'd me and it came from Marvellous Replica one of our TD's... but no doubt same source as elsewhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDee62 0 Posted January 5, 2013 wow $1300 territory is some serious wedge! That's because the case is white gold. However, when you're looking at a white gold watch, you're not seeing white gold, you're seeing the rhodium plating on top of the white gold. You never see unplated white gold because it looks like crap. Right now I'm getting my Breguet rhodium plated. Not sure what the cost will be but I'll guarantee it's less than the $520 difference between the two watches JDCKent linked to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted January 5, 2013 OK!!! the main man has put this thing onto a Donerix now as well!! I think I may be selling some watches off after seeing this..... simply stunning! this may now leap frog the AP that was next in line on the hitlist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think i've seen it in any of the trusted dealers? (or maybe this is a Gen, and I didn't read) Marvelous Replica is where this particular one came from, who are a TD here, I have seen it in his photo album, but would bet some of our other TD's would also have access to it if you asked.. think circa $550 mark...... I'm up for one of these and the Donerix or similar as I love this combo! BUT bear in mind this is an aftermarket strap.... Thinking of moving on my Gen Sunto & Citizen Divers to allow..

Loonie 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Tourbies are the one thing that I really do prefer in a gen. Not that they are bad in reps, it is just that for me if the tourbie is nice, the case back is much more closed, and in the gens they have the ability to have both. I love the case backs on these, I wish some of the others were a little more creative... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDee62 0 Posted January 6, 2013 That must be a standard skeleton tourby movement, from the front side looks like it might be a Hangzhou. I've seen it on an Audemars Piguet and here it is on a Breguet: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDCKent 0 Posted January 6, 2013 I believe it is, Dee. Look at the details of the tourby (large 4th wheel w/ the brushed finish, etc...) in that movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
