Hey Doc, I really enjoyed your Excalibur review, it was very helpful.

The strap is ok, it’s exactly the same strap on the previous Excaliburs that had the numbers on the bezel. Unfortunately BBR didn’t attempt to replicate the correct strap for this model. They also just used that case as well, so this is about 8mm bigger than gen. I did a full review here if you’re interested.

I ordered a cheapie replacement strap from here: https://www.partsforwatch.com/shop/...acelet-strap&ep_filter_pa_brands=roger-dubuis
Strap looks quite good for price, nubuck goes nicer with the watch than the rubber imo.

Having a bit of trouble removing the strap so haven’t had a chance to fit the new one yet. Asked Ryan to check with factory for correct procedure. Once I get the new strap fitted I’ll post some pics and thoughts.

Nubuck is a great call. I think the rubber strap is the thing putting me off getting the rep. Only rubber strap ive ever liked wearing is a gen horus on an ap fc diver. I mean its a £125k+ watch in gen, it deserves a nice alligator strap!

I forgot the link…
I have a feeling that you wont be able to get this model anymore. Was added 8 years ago. Your better off looking for a more recent tourbillon release, the last couple of years or so. If your after something quite dressy i believe there are a few iwc tourbillons that should be available.

I think the red sweater doesn't do it any favours

I would have gone outta ma way to have got a blue sweater that matches perfectly with the blue numerals on that beautiful timepiece (y) (y) (y)

Unfortunately i dont know. Mine also has a working Power Reserve Indicator and Date Funktion.

I would have to google that Info by myself, would start at Seagul or Sites like Caliber Corner and such. I dont think that there are that many Versions of Tourbillions from seagul, as they are quite expensive in Research and Development. Best of luck, m8.

Hello! It seems like you’re asking about the differences between the TOIRBLILON in gray and the original version

Hello Guys, I bought this one a few days ago. Unfortunately it is already broken...I have to send it back in China. Are these movements all so fragile and ephemeral?
