Sweet! You'll love it. He made the one I have on this tourby:
I think I'll get something like yours for my Drive De Cartier. The rep strap leaves a lot to be desired.
AKRIBOS made a watch with a Tourbillon ???
Yep, sure did. A really nice gen that costs less than what we pay for the average rep tourbillon. Rep makers are making a killing, I’d say.

There's one on Amazon for $650... but the reviews say the moon phase is simply a day-night indicator
I got mine on Amazon a couple of years ago for about that price too. The drawing on the disc suggests it’s meant to be a day/night, not a moon phase, indicator. So the sale description is wrong.
That is really quite beautiful! And for once, the logo is nice. So often they look so bad that you don't want ppl to see it. Must look further into these
IWC portofino up for cheaper buy here: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?284936-FS-IWC-FA-Jones-Tourbillion-on-gator-strap
I pulled the crown to set the time and that's what happened.
The warranty is still valid. Purchased from Toro Bravos.

Ugh... Is the winding stem still inside the watch?
can I join? first ever rep, thx to this website!View attachment 89920 View attachment 89921 View attachment 89922
I was going to suggest asking the TD to send you a new crown with winding stem rather than taking the risk of shipping the entire watch to China. But with the stem still inside, you might want to consult with modders/smithies in your area and find out if they can remove the broken stem and install new crown and stem.
I’ve shipped two watches to China before, which were received in about 2 weeks hassle-free. I’ve also read about lost shipments. If you do decide to ship it back, make sure to follow your TD’s instruction to the letter.
