Flying Tourbillon

[WingNut]

Gents...(and Ladies)

I am after a flying tourby...seems Trusty Time has the best selection...

Looking seriously at Berguet or Jules Audmares...only becuase I want a "skelly"...

I know...don't mess up the beauty of a tourbillon movement with the confusion of a skeleton dial...but I like'em!!

On the other side there is a Patek Philippe that is also calling my name (non skeleton).

Anyone have any experience with these rep "Tourbs" ??

Help a Bro out...want one for my "own" Christmas present...

Thanks!

I've got one, its awesome, get one. Theres a nice breguet skele tourby, but if i recall correctly, its also 700 or so $$..

Ive had this one for a few years now, never an issue and its probably one of my best timekeepers with good reserve, knock on wood..just a bit noisy, other than that a real eye catcher.

I suggest to get it from PureTime, and use WU as a payment menthod. The 10% off is a great discount for high price piece like this. (and their base price is cheaper than trusty usually.)

 

[cwazy1]

yup, i agree with shiro, thats how i did it, saved me 50$

Thanks guys...and NICE pics! I appreciate it...

Love the Breguet and Pateks, but that Hublot is smokin'...is that a "snakeskin" strap?

I'm pretty sure PT has version of the full skeleton breguet for $358. If not, narikaa should still have a couple.

Thanks mate, indeed it is, made by me;

I love mine.

Basically though, if you're looking for an accurate replica I don't know of one that's better than the breguet skeleton flying tourby. Mine is a 263 ( from memory - I am away from home) but it is no longer available. There is one that's almost the same but the model number escapes me.

There are some generics on ebay that routinely get up to a grand or more.

And of course there is this one. Quite a deal.

Also the other...

Like them both...very similar...I wonder why the price difference?

Puretime has that all gold model with all the scrolling also interesting!

 

[seriph]

Great pickup mate. Tried unsuccessfully to find my model. The two look almost exactly the same yet huge price difference. Another example of Chinese logic at play.

How about this Breguet, with the new auto Shanghai movement:
