CrazyAlex Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I came across this watch and it seems too good to be true with asian tourbillon movement for only 400 bucks? Usually I see turby reps for $600+. The seller is endorsed by RWG, so it seems legit. What is everyone's opinions on this piece? http://www.prowatch-polo.com/products.php?id=1720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks good to me,try to find someone who has the watch and get there opinion. But from what I can see it looks pretty dam good,especially when considering the price,good luck. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sul Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Fantasy but very nice looking. If I had somebody who are able to servicing tourbillon`s I would buy one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 The only thing that looks odd is the Number 000 on the dial. Clearly that is a "Chinoiserie". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A tourbillon is not a robust complication. This is a watch that can breakdown easily and finding a watchmaker qualified and able to service it will be difficult and it will an expensive watch to fix. On the other hand it is a beautiful watch with a way cool complication for an amazing price. I would take a flyer on it but I have a daughter entering university this year and her tuition is $19k. With books I will be ponying up $22k or so this year. Its no, no, no watches for daddy for a very long while. There you have it...I am of two minds on this watch but for $400 I would go for it and be very, very careful with it. Good luck, I really hope it works out for you.

maxman Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I would send your daughter to community college and jump back into the watch game just kidding of course. I happen to agree with you, nice for the money but be careful. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about paying for school when the wife and I were planning these babies. Then they came along and they were so damn cute. The boy wants to go to film school so I don't expect a break for quite a while. Good thing i got my WM9 YM while I could afford it. I am going to have to live vicariously through you Mike for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
