On a side note, my tourbillon's power reserve has been consistent at about 78 hours (so, over 3 days), which is pretty impressive since the gen is only rated for 54 hours. An example of rep being superior to the gen;).

How do the other tourbillon power reserves compare for you guys?

I had my AP tourby serviced and when I got it back initially it went up to 82 hrs PR. It leveled out at about 72-78 hours,

Btw. Pics make it look big but it’s actually not that big as it appears in the pics.

Not a member of the club....yet...but im looking for my first tourbillion rep now. Looking at the AP Royal Oak although that A.Lang above is gorgeous. Any suggestions on which are the best or which ones to avoid? Really open to any of the makes. Thanks

There are 2 versions of this specific ALS rep - SS and rose gold. Both are best Lange reps available.
id stick to Lange tourbilion and then eventually get AP JF 15400 v3 if you like Royal Oak. For some reason I like Royal Oak without tourbilion.

in my opinion, tourbilion blends very well with classic non sporty dial. I don’t like tourbilions on sporty looking watches but like I said it’s just my opinion.

Yes, it’s the version without a rotor. If there’s any rep IWC tourbillon that can be regarded as a closest to gen, the emerald green ME LE gets my vote without hesitation. With as little as changing the rep strap, you have a watch you can wear with total confidence. Only 25 gens were ever made. No issues with mine so far.

Gen for comparison:

By the way, thanks for reminding me I still have one more challenge: An @3 o’clock tourbillon. ;)

How Close is the IWC Tourbillon at 12? I got one coming my way now and can't wait! From online photos, it seems pretty damn close to Gen but want your thoughts since you had it for awhile? Thanks in advance!
