I stand corrected -I was obviously misinformed by my guy - guess he wants to make a quick buck from a gullible watch lover.
No harm done actually. Plenty of sellers do the same posting an older model as a new one or a re-issue to clear existing stock.
Just be careful not to fall for such tactics.

Is this the same watch ?

I almost pulled the trigger until a few members in the AP section recommended against it. The watch looks beautiful. Let me know how it holds
Yes, it is a beautiful watch at a premium price. I haven't pulled the trigger yet and glad I didn't. I will wait for the color update on the BW.
The silver balance wheel is already available!
I assume the TD's just haven't updated their pictures yet.
Here's a QC[/URL] from 2 months ago with the right silver color of the balance wheel (With the wrong brush on the bezel though...)
There are many other details wrong with the watch, though to be honest, I think it is nice as a rep. The color of the gear below the hands base is also wrong in terms of color and size.
The balance wheel will be oscillating on the wrist, so color isn't important when the wheel is in motio, but other details, such as the visible gears, movement window cut out etc remain as issues.
The greatest tell for such watches, however, is the wearer. Not many people in any given population can and will buy the gen. So if you start seeing these commonly in the wild, you can betcha fur that a good number will be replicas, without needing to scrutinize the watch. :hehehe:

I received a reply email from Puretime, it seems this R8 tourbillon has indeed been updated with the silver tourbillon. I wonder why the TDs don't update their websites or why R8 has not released this as a V2? It is a significant update to me. I wonder if they changed anything else?
