section8 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I was browsing through the "skymall' catalog on the plane and came across a Tonneau Tourbillon watch for $400. I found their website (and in fact you can get the watch from Sharper image for $200) I'm wondering if this is a real tourbillon movement or one that just looks like one. Anyone ever seen one of these watches in person? http://www.wmswitzerland.com/en/product.asp?id=8# http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/...d/cm_ite__WM950 Oh wow, i just noticed that sharper image is throwing in a watch winder for free if you buy this.

Sylar Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Tourbillion look movement exactly. I have this watch and it keeps time very accurately. Have had it on watchwinder and wrist since I got it Jan 1st. Looks attractive and tourbillion look movement works well. I picked it up for 150 with the watchwinder box for christmas. Well of course no sooner than i click "submit post" than i read on the sharper image website "tourbillon look" movement. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thats nice to get the watch winder with it, but I saw the same watch winder in Steinmart for 20 bucks. By the way, that strap, could that possibly made from hide of the naugha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finepics Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 A cheap $50 rep - been already discussed here as these are being sold on one of the freeview channels here in the UK for upto £500 (that's a $1000)!! Total scam and the [censored] that was coming out of the company reps mouth was unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
