I still can't get enough of this watch! Please let me know if you'd ever be interested in selling, Honeybear, as buying from overseas STILL makes me nervous.

Wow, if you click the link to view puretimes website, you'll be greeted with a statement informing you how the domain has been taken-over due to legal action by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH. Just wow! irates:

Think you're not using the .co domain they changed to several months ago?

The main flaw is the tourbillon, it looks very different from the gen

Because you can really pull off wearing a $50K watch otherwise?

I know a lawyer that wears daily some Patek Philippe that costs 70, 80k...it'sall about how much cash you have

I'm not saying there aren't people who could pull it off, I'm asking if the typical person in this forum wants to draw this much attention to themselves with a rep, particularly if they work with people who would actually realize how much a tourbillon from a major Swiss brand costs.

No matter what watch you wear, everyone will think it's fake, especially if you're young

At least, this is what happens to me, even with my gens.

Yes, it really is a fantasy model. The best way to describe it is that it's the JLC Master Control with a Tourbillon grafted onto it. It does however capture the JLC spirit of elegance, and is reasonably credible to someone who is generally familiar with JLC, but not that particular model.

Finding someone to service it will definitely be a problem though...

Honeybear this a lovely piece- i was actually at my local dealer and held the Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon - ref. 1322410 what a piece when see in the metal!!!

I'm thinking about buying the rep you have from puretime.
2 years on into owning this piece what are your views on its reliability & accuracy?

Have you eventually find someone who can service it?

There are newer models with intersting complications but my TD ory. says the quality is not as good, different factory.
