goodfella Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Hello all, Im very new to the watch world, Ive had a seiko for the past 5 years & Ive never really had a thing for watches till i saw someone with a Panerai that had a Tourbillon that you could see... I was instantly hooked. My question to all is, if i were to buy a replica of any kind, do the tourbillons move like they do in the Real watches? Also, i would like to find a replica Panerai that has a tourbillon that you can see from the front in a little window, it also has the night/day veiwer as well as a yellow/purple tint to the glass. Please help me answer my questions... thanks in advance guys!!!
Pugwash Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 My question to all is, if i were to buy a replica of any kind, do the tourbillons move like they do in the Real watches? A rep with a real Tourbillon will cost $650 and up.

I highly doubt you saw a real panerai with a tourbillon... i hardly ever see a regular panny on the street let alone a tourbillon.... did you see this one?: http://www.replicahause.com/product_info.php?products_id=652 LOL!!!

swdivad Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 The only gen Panerai tourbillon you'll se is this one: Apparently, there are only two or three in existance... Besides this any other you'd see are fakes, and really really bad ones at that. Have a good read here and don't emabarass yourself wearing one of them, no matter how much you're drawn to it
Cucumber_Jones Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Ubi - you got a close up of that movt??
ubiquitous Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Sorry CJ.... This i the best one I have... Not much of an improvement...
Cucumber_Jones Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 [censored] - I dig the movt - I am not a torby fan but I like all that steel on the back.
