most rep Tourbis are fake based on a 21J movement, but I can't get PureTime site to open (keep getting "Server Error") to see this watch. Can you post pics off his site?
But I will tell you that if it is less than $700 then it is not using a real Toubi movement.

That's a gen (chinese) Tourbillon. I have more doubts on the diamonds :)
Synthetic diamonds are real and cost nothing.
Natural diamonds are much more expensive.

The interesting point is that it's an automatic movement.

I don't own this watch, but here's a movie of a chinese Tourbillon in motion

Yep - that's a real Tourbi - and well over the price I quoted. And Pix is right: technically, synthetic diamonds are real diamonds as well. They just are not natural diamonds.

Hey Levelmanrodger: you say that if it costs less than $700 it isn't a real tourbi. This causes me concern. Whjat about the $500-550 Breguet tourbillons sold by the trusted dealers? Are you saying that they are in fact not real tourbis? I just bought

off ebay. Iassumed it was a real tourbi. Is it not?

Hey Marciel: the fellow who sells the Minorva on ebay's address there is

http://stores.ebay.com/minorva

I haven't actually received my watch from him yet so I cannot endorse him. Having said that, his communication was excellent. One weird thing you will notice is that he will list the same tourbillon three or four times, sometimes ranging in 'buy it now' price from $500--3,000 for the same watch. How can this be? Ask him! I have no idea. Bizarre!

Nielson - looks like it is probably a real Tourbi from what I can see. The prices of Chinese made Tourbi movements are dropping all the time.
It doesn't surprise me you can buy a gen offf-brand Tourbi watch (with QC and warranty) for less than it costs to buy a rep with Tourbi movement. This is because A) they are taking a chance (although it seems a relatively small one) repping big name watches, and B) the profit margin in rep watches is astronomical. This is the same reason you will pay $150 for a cheap rep Sub using a cheap 21J movement with no QC, no warranty, and dubious water resistance but you can buy an Invicta Sub clone with a quality 21J, QC, warranty, guaranteed water resistance, boxes, and fast shipping for only about $100.
So still most reps running a Tourbi will be $700+, while many gens running a Tourbi will cost less.

I think I'll take my Southern customer service attitudes, move to China, and start me a little export business!!

Hey Levelmanroger: thanks for the note. I'm relieved to hear that you see my tourbi as indeed a tourbi. Tell you what: if you take your southern customer attitude and move to China and sell tourbis, I'll buy one from you, or maybe two..... or three.....
