The picture says 'photoshop' to me... LOL :lol:

See how the whole thing moves out of position as it 'rotates'!

It might move round with the balance wheel but my arse it's a gen tourbillon...

I do not think that's a true tourbillon. It's also an automatic.

 

[elmataplata]

nope. if anything its just a fancy seconds hand made to look like a tourbillon

I don't see it moving out of position. But to be safe, maybe one should ask for a video.

Nope, that's an open heart movement, it's a typical Chinese Open Heart used on many faux tourbillon reps.

+1. Yep. Open heart, with a "fancy" looking seconds indicator.

I've had that watch. Not a tourbillon, just a very elaborate seconds hand. Cool, nonetheless.

Another Seagull ST-25 >>>

Configuration...Not a tourby, but not a bad value either...!!!
Those movements are the "cream of the crop" of the Chinese low price genre...
Nicely finished too!!

Yes, I got one of their homages to the Cartier de Calibre which is based on the same Seagull open heart movement, the ST25, which is a nicely finished movement, and way better than anything you'll see in a replica watch at the same price range. They are quite a decent value, and have the advantage that you're just wearing a homage as opposed to having to pull off a replica of a $100k+ watch.

Sure, this is not a real tourbillon.
Just a very decorated second hand to do an impression of tourbillon
Be careful my friend
