Tourbillon Died...& On The Second Day Rose Again!

[narikaa]

Well I have been blase in wearing my flying tourbillon as a daily beater..tho without a hiccough so far

But the honeymoon had to end sometime!

Well lets say I had cause to inadvertantly 'shock load' it, rather violently. and damn it froze solid.

After a night of muttering and cussing, I took it to a watch repairer here in Guangzhou. Well his 'work station' looked to be about all of

Ask him if he want to move to europe, I am sure that we could find him work at those prices!

Exactly

Imagine fixing a broken tourbillon from any major swiss maker, firstly you'd be looking at anything from $5,000 upwards, probably well over $10,000, perhaps much much more, and you'd be waiting at least 6 months, sometimes much longer while it got done. There are plenty of horror stories out there regarding the more exotic swiss models.

I think we deserve some picture of the broken bits too!!!

Congratulations on getting your tourby back in operation.

I wonder if that guy even has an inkling how much you would have been happy to pay to get this watch back in working order?

Speechless, just speechless

[fotoman]

i'm very happy to learn that millionsmart where my tourby comes from will service/support the watch
