Watch is a bit weird as the dial is asymmetrical - the center pinion being higher than the dial center...

First Seagull tourbillon movement was like that. Check the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon rep, they have the same movement.

Hey buddy. I just found the VC patrimony 14-day power reserve Tourbillon on DHGate. I don’t know if it’s legit though. All the TDs I’ve asked have told me it’s not in stock and the factory have closed. But it’s on DHg

Although this looks like it’s a different rep as it has a grey/black seconds hand on the Tourbillon, while the rep released in 2015 that is not in stock anymore had a Rosegold seconds hand.

Besides the fact i think its a funny looking watch (why separate hours, minutes and seconds onto three different dials?) you’ve got to respect a triple axis tourbillon. Does make me think that ill never even own a chinese triple axis tourbillon though. Its not like with the double tourby, they cant blag it to look like a triple axis tourbillon. It has to rotate in 3 directions which requires a lot of very complex very well finished parts. Its not likely to drop to an affordable price any time soon.

Looking at getting one myself, but thinking of holding off until there are decent straps sorted for it. Is the strap as shit as people are saying?

The strap is shit. Working on a custom replacement as I type.

However, the watch is beautiful. The clasp is ok and does the job.

How are you working on a replacement? Everyone says there’s a plastic insert. If I could get specifics on it, maybe I could print it and give it to a customer strap maker. I can’t find any details on it.

The insert is only needed on leather straps (something to bond the ends too and create a solid interface). The rubber strap is just rubber all the way through i think. Theres already a strap maker on the case in a separate thread making inserts for the watch. It means running it on a gator strap not rubber but at least it will be comfy.

Strap maker out of Singapore who was recommended to me by a member here almost has the strap complete for the version that has the strap held on by a rod that goes through the strap and lugs and is removed via an Allen key. My version holds the strap via screws underneath. I ordered The BBR version. Not sure if that’s what i received.
