Tourbillon - need advice

[Samurai]

Saw these on the bay. Going for EUR 750. Need advice on whether this is decent buy.

What I like about this is that it is a 42mm case. Have been considering Homer's tourby....but prefer a bigger watch.

I thought Homer's Touby was 42mm?

Well it's twice the price of Homer Tourby and I'm not sure it's that much bigger from the dial face.. Homer is 40mm

Seems expensive to me. I have worked on a few Tourbillons, they are not simple or easy to fix and prone to problems...

This looks like a PTS Resources movement in a aftermarket case. Reminds me of the "Stauer" brand you see advertized, lots of hype, a fancy name, but really overpriced.

Thanks guys. Any suggestions on a big (43/44mm +) tourby?

Go with Homer...

I love Homer's tourby...but they are @ 40mm. Would prefer something bigger.

that has the same mov't as homer's tourby, its a millionsmart watch (same company that makes homers) - your paying twice the price, and the dude is pocketing it all.

it may not even be 42.

just go with the homer tourby - you will NOT regret it. i'm with you, i don't like things under 42. but this has such a thick case because of the mov't it wears bigger.

Homer's tourby is the shiznit

also, better to have no brand than some Made up brand, tell people you had it custom designed for you, hence the no brand

Hmmm....I agree Pho. I know how many times I have been soooo close to buying the Homer Tourby.

btw...the watch pics that I posted.....saw that it normally sells for about Euro 400 by the same seller.

River was selling a large touby...FIBER...but maybe he's out of them now.
