Similar to other forums, I thought it would be a good idea to post pics of this incredible brand.
I know replicas must improve, but there are high end replicas with real tourbillon movements very close to the gen counterparts. There are many fantasy replicas and other low end with limited quality, but if we are able to revitalize this brand forum, may be (just may be) replica factories begin to pay attention to this quasi forgotten brand that sincerely deserves a place among the three or four big names (Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philip and may be Audemars Piguet and A.Lange Sohne)

Lets begin with this Classique Chronograph Moonphase

Lets continue with a rep of the model 5307 (now descatolgued), with fake tourbillon.

And finally a fantasy rep with no gen counterpart. The most similar model would be the 7717.

Hello Wingnut. Very nice watch and very similar to gen.
Have you had any problems with the tourbillon? Is it reliable?
Hard decision to get such an expensive replica and have early problems with the tourbillon that no local watchsmith is going to be able to fix.
How is the quality of the crystal? Do you think it has AR coating? And how about the quality of the strap?
Thanks

No issues...it has been a great watch, keeps good time, winds smooth. Crystal is good, the strap is typical rep...I need a nice croc to finish it off...just haven't gotten around to it.

Very nice collection.
@WingNut, where did you get yours?

Got this in a M2M deal long ago...I think the TD's can still get it. It's a great looking watch in person...this is a video taken by the guy I got it from...

Tourbillon is hypnotic. It is the pinnacle of the mechanical complication
I have to get one. May be Messidor 5335

Not a single Type XX here? These are discontinued I think now.
