Paneriwc321 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hello fellow RWGers,Tourbillons. A Complication considered irreplicable not too long ago. What do you guys think of them? Is it worth it? Could it be an everyday-er? Would you get it in Gold or Steel (considering the fact that the Gold plating will not last, unlike the Steel just being......well, Steel ) Ive seen some good ones out there, for instance the IWC Portuguese or the Vacheron. Which one would you choose?Looking forward to your comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think tourbillons are technically interesting, but, as a rule, I do not like to see them on a dial face. Better hidden on the backside or within the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think if you can make the tourbillon believable on your wrist, in terms of your capability to afford one, and work in an environment where it would look right at home, then a steel one could serve as a daily beater. It very much depends on the environment you work in, and to a large extent, your position in the corporate ladder or social league. Just my 2 cents. ;) Sent from Mars using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm not a fan of tourbillons in a wristwatch but I do like them in their original place in pocket watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Whether you like them or not Legend has a point , can you pull one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Whether you like them or not Legend has a point , can you pull one off. As a gen hell no, I'm a student. Though by that logic I can't pull off my 1675 or my 1016 that I'm wearing as I write this. Like anything in fashion it just depends on the guts to wear it. You can pick up relatively inexpensive tourbillons from chinese manufacturers that would be gen and then it would just be whether or not it suited the wearers style. I wouldn't wear them as I like utilitarian complications and in a wristwatch I don't buy a tourbillon being one.

ebzen02 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think they a fascinating to watch and hiding them defeats the purpose of showing off a huge mechanical feat in s small piece of machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
