Hello there,

I found there is a website call time-gallerys that seems to be selling the Christophe Claret Blackjack watch for price under $300. They also sell the Jacob & Co. Watches Astronomia Tourbillon for under $300 which seems impossible to me. I suspect it is a scam web. But I still wanna try although I highly doubt that it won't have all the functions. Is that safe to buy watch from a website by using credit card? I think I could get the refund if I don't like the watch by calling the credit card center if something go wrong.

Before that, does anyone know if there is any TD is selling Christophe Blackjack with all the functionalities like the card game, ringing sound, two dices etc?


Thank you,
Jason

They did not provide any information even I ask them about it. The Jacob & Co. Watches Astronomia Tourbillon seems only has one axis, not the true tri-axis tourbillon from the title.

The Chinese don't rep complicated watch movements - because they can't. Anything that's being sold as 1:1 of these watches will be junk.

You are right, I don't believe that price can actually replica the movements. But I don't really care about the clock movement, my focus is the card game if you see the video about the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O8-d02khvo&t=200s I cannot tell you how amazing this watch is, the card game is what I want. I feel this is the hardest part in the watch to actually make a game in it. Feel like the watch they sell just replica the looking of the watch. Still I want to try and see if it is if I can get my money back.

Of course, the card game will be perfectly replicated in the rep that costs $300, and planning your charge back well in advance is an excellent idea.

But actually I saw a perrelet watch from the dealer here https://www.pf-828.com/per00101-turbine-pilot-xl-ss-ru-black-asian-2813-decorated.html, and please watch the video about the original one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjVXpwAW9OE at 1:50 You should notice the real one has two knob. The right one is to move the inner bezel. However, this kind of simply function even a TD cannot make it (if you look at the movement, they are not even close) I am now highly doubt the card game is just a fake static look...
