I don’t have the right words at the moment except that I am the happiest man on earth!

Fully functional double tourbillon Roger Dubuis is going to be released (or is released)..

TW factory is apparently the maker and the movement has been tested for some time already and proved to be stable and in good working order.

The more I look at this I am confused to distinguish if it is actually a real double tourbillon movement..can anybody say with 100% precision?

Can't say with 100% precision, but just looking at it, the metal around the opening looks to be attached the screw points of the decorated tourbillon wheel -- telling me that the points are fixed and do not rotate? Looks like two open balance wheel apertures with decorations to make it look like a functional tourbillon, but I'm also a pessimist ...

Last time they released similar models they were $5K plus at the dealers. I wonder how much will they ask for this release.

The 1st double T. was released by the JB factory, apparently this one is done by TW fac. What I’ve heard of is that rep factories have been developing a cheaper solution for the double t in order to lower the price for the final user. Maybe this is actually the case..Still have to get the confirmation.

I wouldn't hold my breath but I'd like to see this release more affordable. The vids (of previous release) are mesmerizing!

This watch is made by asian 2 balance wheel movement, not real tourbillon, just decoration plates. It's a bad replica watch in high price.

You can check this one, real double tourbillon watch. The balance wheel is different.

kobe24 are you sure? I have done a comparison between the cheap replica and the apparently new one which is either released already or to be released very soon..

See photo (cheap rep on the left vs the “new” one on the right)

Take a closer look at the description in Chinese that you posted. It clearly indicated that these are but two balance wheels. Look at the picture you posted, these are no way tourbillon.

Look the right one closely, the banlance wheels can't move, it's a fake decoration plate. Worse than old cheap rep watch.

5k for something that will likely go wrong is a massive gamble. So will be surprised as to how many they sold,
