FM Vanguard V45 Tourbillon Skeleton

[SuperLory]

man the first photo showing the thickness had me like a bullet to the heart..it's unbelievably thick !!

thanks for having spent precious time reccing it cos overall it seems a very nice watch, but, again, thickness kills it in the crib for me

Thanks for the pictures, wonderful rep and thickness isn't an issue at all: it is part of the identity of this watch and it makes this rep unique. For those complaining, the black color makes it all look slightly thinner from a distance I guess.

dadog13 super happy for you. Finally the watch arrived!!. thx for the photos and video. When the thickness is compared with your other watches, I think the FM is OK. Sure, it might be thicker than the Gen, but what I've learned is that the Gen is very rare in real life. Please enjoy your watch and any further info is welcome!

The rep is thicker than the gen, it’s thicker than all my reps but still acceptable and not noticable nor for me (very light watch) nor for others (case shape - curved, black/carbon). The thickness doesn’t bother me at all, what I would improve, as already wrote would be the double AR, deployment clasp and strap (even though the rep strap in my humble opinion is of ver high quality)

Jokes aside, nice watch mate enjoy it!

I've seen on reps of skeleton watches the biggest flaw is always the balance wheel ; The tourbillon replica posted by dadog13 uses the wrong type of balance wheel. The genuine appears to use a "blacked out" balance wheel. Maybe making something like it is beyond the factories at the moment, I don't know. But the replica posted looks like it uses a balance wheel that has integrated counterweights on it which is something I haven't really seen before. It would be a much better replica of the normal non-tourbillon models that have the visible balance wheels.

That is NOT THE SAME MODEL.

I know its not the same model; I was talking about the balance wheel being flawed on the tourbillon replica that you posted. The counterweighted-style balance wheel that is in the movement on your FM tourbilllon replica would be a good fit to replicate this watch.

Would love a stainless version of this, dont really like the carbon pattern on FM watches, especially compared to pams carbotech
