Maybe I'm mistaken but wasn't the AP tourbillon only available with a blue dial for the gen?
I just came across this:

Does it also come in black dial now?

That's what we've always been led to believe. I ran a quick Google image search. I couldn't find one with a black dial but this grey one came up from Hodinkee webpages, so it must be real. At least that debunks the notion that gen AP tourby comes only in blue.

Yes sir, both the grey and black dials showed on what I would think are pretty legitimate sites.
Maybe the AP black dial tourby is the most accurate rep now?!

Isn't the blue dial as accurate?

 

[Funtimezz]

I believe the Gen is slightly brighter blue, like the dial "pops" more at least from the gen 15400 I've seen before.
But black is just black. xD

Which would you choose?
I don't care which is resembles the gen , I'm just asking aesthetics.

When I saw those pictures, the first 3 words that came out of my mouth were: Yikes! WTF! and Why? Ok, that's 5 words, but you get the idea. And then a small voice said to me "Hyjynx, don't be a judgmental prick. Those are nice watches too!" So to answer your question, I'll choose the second. If you're gonna go Boo, might as well go Boonanza! [emoji6]

Ok, be judgmental.
Let me know what you don't like about these watches.
Truthfully.

Wouldn't recommend a Skeleton replica as most of the time, the finishing will look quite cheap due to the price point we are working with.

Ok, that sounds like good advise.
Thanks.

It's not the skeleton dial that I find off putting, really. The Hublot skeleton tourbillon is one of the most beautiful I've seen and own. There's just too much decorations on these two which I find distasteful and distracting. Makes them look rather cheap too.

Thanks for being honest.
I did some digging and found this video.

Your right about it looking cheap, even though it is not the same watch Intime is selling.

I need to think about this purchase a little longer.
Thanks.

That is so freaking cool. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think mine looks cheap but I'm unconcerned

You certainly don't buy one of these because telling the time on them is easy! ))))

...My "busy" tourby..



...and my plain. Both are fascinating in their own way.

Not cheap-looking at all. If I get another skeleton, it'll be this one. Nice strap. [emoji106]
