I agree but im not mad about the grande complication. Pretty cool. However there is one thing that does annoy me about most modern roger dubuis and that is rubber straps. When your making less than 100 watches, a mold for a rubber strap must be close to $500-$1000 per strap (bearing in mind top and bottom are different). Just give these watches the fantastic dinosaur skin they deserve. No one swims in a 100k+ watch. What benefits does a rubber strap have? First thing i do when i get an rd rep is get a nice alligator strap from a great strap maker. Completes the watch. Is what it is i just wish the rubber had the plastic insert so i could get a proper strap made!

Good day, I have been researching about Dubuis replicas but I can not find much information. Could please any senior member confirm if BBR is the best factory and which models are best replicated? Also, I noticed different TD have different replicas for DUbuis. Thanks

@TT1000 : Roger Dubuis is a niche brand, we are lucky those timepieces are replicated at all !

That said, basically BBR is your only choice as far as i am aware...apart of YSF which make hi end, dual tourbillon RD Rep at over $ 2000


On Puretime i found also these 2 factories , which released RD watches but Years ago....

TBF Factory did release this Excalibur Micro Rotor DBEX0542 back in 2020 , both in DLC version


and Titanium version


You can try to ask for availability, but 5 years have passed...

In late 2019 JBF Factory did release this Excalibur Sports Tourbillon


Try to ask TDs about availability...

BBR factory has changed into New factory. Best thing is to send your dealer an image of the watch that you want and they'll let you know what factories produce it.

Thanks very much. I agree too much time has passed. I am going to keep searching for a recent model from a good factory. Thanks!

Thanks. One dealer, not from the TDs list, told me that and I was unsure. Other told me it is now BBS. I will see if I can find a model from New Factory from a TD. Thanks!
