Saw these on IG. The real watch has a 16 cylinder engine in it which of course the rep won’t have but I’m wondering if its a real tourbillon? Maybe this is just a dhgate cheapie?

Trust me I will never buy from a non TD! I only follow them to see the new releases and stuff on their story. I believe that is a rep though because the “pistons” seem to be made of plastic in the screenshots. Also some of the colors seem to be fantasy.

Thanks to Tim at Watchfinder for giving me info on this watch. Its basically an overpriced dhgate shitter. It doesn’t have a tourbillon. Everything is made of cheap plastic. For $500 lol. I guess us Jacob and Co fans have to keep waiting for quality reps, if they’ll ever arrive at all.

I would’ve still bought it if it was a tourbillon. Jacob is my favorite brand. I really just wanted to know the movement and the price. But sigh its just some miyota.

No issue here, he did a good service to the community at the same time and could have been the happy first RWI customer to review this piece for us. Big thanks to CarmeloAnthony for going fishing for info !
