I've been trying to research on this movement I've never seen before, but came up with nothing. What is this movement? Is it reliable? And accurate?

2 spring barrels huh? No idea, I've never seen that in a Hublot rep before.

image link broken.

I notice some of the watches from TDs have 2 spring barrels too. Wonder if that means double the power.

Two spring barrels usually means a longer power reserve yes. It is common in 8 day movements or those with a lot of complications.

At the front it seems like a GuangZhou tourby to me...
What is the link to the product page?

21J movements are fine, cheap and good, but (personally) I wouldnt like it to be posing as a tourbillon. If you can afford, get the real thing, its a beauty.

Another thing is, the rep Hublot you shown us at watcheden seems to be of poor quality thou. I suggest taking a look here: The $200-300 are the flux tourby, the $600-700 are the real deal. Some nice videos for you to compare too.

And if you ever wanted to get the real thing, use western union to get a 10% off for a small fee.
Lastly, do a search on tourbillon, there are quite a few thread about them.
Good luck in your hunt ;)

Lol I wish i could get a real tourbillion, $700 is way to much to spend on a watch to me.
That's why this fake tourbillion appealed to me. I've always wanted hublot minute repeater tourbillion. I love how I can see the "flesh" of the watch. I guess I'll probably get this one. :whistle:
Thanks a lot for all your help!

Looking at the rotor, it's a DG2813, and all the things we see on the back are just decorative, including the second spring.
Definitely a dummy tourbi :)
It's worth 128 USD, not more :)

And I believe the balance wheel is hidden by the big black wheel, which is probably a sticker...
