Yes please , give us the source of that price point . I don’t mind paying under 1k ... USD
also none of the famous td’s have it at the moment ...

Who's got it for that price? I'm seeing 8300 and 9500.
Have you ? And have you read my post ?
He incorrectly test the RM, then incorrectly test the AP, no wonder with the tester already at 6-7 that it reads sapphire, I could do that on other materials too. And then he turn it off and never test the RM back so what I've said is still perfectly valid.
There's a specific way of using such a tool, and that guy is not using it correctly, so his test is not relevant at all
Read up above, that's not a valid test he did

nirvana0002 is that weidian guy legit?his prices seem really good!!
An army of small children wielding tiny chisels can work wonders.But apparently there are factories in china making sapphire watch cases so god know.
I just wonder why rm themselves have such a high failure rate of machining sapphire cases but these dude can claim to make it no problem. I think i read rm has a failure rate of over 90% of cases. Bearing in mind how hard and therefore brittle sapphire is i have no reason to doubt this. But apparently there are factories in china making sapphire watch cases so god know. Does seem unlikely that for $1000 your getting a full sapphire tourbillon but thats just my opinion.
It's indeed a strong point towards this not being Sapphire, or at least not full Sapphire, but there's a brand making full Sapphire cases, for less than $10000

Given that they certainly have a comfy margin, and our Chinese friends never lacking innovation when it come to reproducing stuff, I'd say it's possible to see a full Sapphire case at one point
Yeah ive seen those aventis watches. Their normal tourbys sell for about $1000. If you scale up the price of a rep tourby it would be about 10x more for a full sapphire rep, or about $7500. This is of course pure speculation but it sounds a lot more realistic than a $1000 full sapphire cased tourbillon.
Prices of reps are climbing, especially for things no one else is offering. The double tourbillon reps are $5000 from td’s but if you get them direct from china its about 1/3 of that. I just cant see people paying high 4 figure sums for a rep watch just because its made of sapphire.
No buddy. Aventi sell a blue sapphire Tourbillon for 10.000$ (Blue sapphire is more expensive to make) and the white full sapphire Tourbillon for 5000$. They have a lot of expenses for marketing like all gen brands do in difference from reps. And also they say they have a lot of quality control. They have to give some years warranty too and product development, margins etc etc.
So Glaude is right that from that point of view it sounds plausible that a rep maker can sell a Tourbillon with sapphire back and front for around $ 1K. The Aventi is a full sapphire for $ 5K. So a lot less sapphire used and a lot less complicated machining when it’s only front and back.
