[NEW RELEASE] JB factory Roger Dubuis RDDBEX0479 Excalibur Spider Skeleton 45

If only was a straight replacement movement from sea -gull with a reasonable cost

I think the movement is very similar to this one, just rotated a bit and with only one barrel. Just an opinion though.

Its about £920. Very strange watch brand, they claim to be swiss but im very doubtful. Their big moonphase watch is very tempting though.

TheDonSL apparently the movements are not very well made. Pretty flimsy and shit. Heres a few pics my watch maker sent me. Credit to steve for getting stuck in with these things.

That’s a shame man, mine was doing ok until I sent it away for a new strap. The strap is certainly flimsy and shit but now I have the fear!

Hopefully you’ve lucked out and got a good one mate. They cant all be bad. I guess thats the risk we run with these custom movements. At least we have a watch maker in the uk willing to work on them, but without parts theres only so much that can be done.

My friend thank you for the photos you posted today, my buddy believes he can work on the watch for me now!

Fingers crossed!

Mine still ticking along nicely. Though I did park it for a few days last week and when I rewound it needed a knock to get it spinning... ????

Exactly, just wait it will stop working soon probably. These movements are terrible

Maybe you have a good one? I hope so! What happened to the hand on the tourbillon cage though? If its fallen off its probably worth getting that sorted before it caused some damage floating about. A lot of places it could get caught with a skeletonised movement.

Darn it! missed that during QC that there was a black hand on the tourbillon cage. Just checked QC pics and was missing there as well. Can't see anything rattling about inside on close inspection so looks like was missing before assembly. Thanks for pointing out and anyone else make sure you check that on QC!

Thats a tough break mate! That hand position and the bezel are pretty much the only things i look at in qc haha! Well at least its running well

Sorry to hear that, but even I didn’t notice that on yours and the jb version doesn’t have it anyways.

Update on my red one, it does have the small hand and is still running. I hope to have my black bbr serviced by end of next week so hopefully will have good news to post, but either way will let the community know how it turned out and what the fix was...

Eye candy for now...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the jbf should definitely have the hand. Does yours not have one?

Yes it does it’s just hard to see on the jb because the outer surrounding of the tourbillon is much tighter than the bbr.

I know this is not the right thread, But are there any Excalibur Spider Huracan out there?

No good ones. Gate quality is out there but not worth it.

Damn... I really wish they end up making a good version of this. I love how it looks.

Anyone else’s BBR crap out? My friend in Asia is now having issues as well and they just released a new carbon version today
