hi guys, I am fairly new to rwi, but i have been more active on rg.

You guys in the Tourbillon section are the best out there in terms of info and expetise in this very upmarket section of the rep world. Thanks for such an initiative.

i am a about to pull the trigger on a Breguet Tourby

http://pureti.me/product/jubilee-tourbillon-5-days-ss-black-textured-dial-on-black-leather-strap/

i love the black dial, but i am wondering if the gen exists ( i could not locate her on the net)

also i think it might need an AR job , what do you guys think ?

would it be an automatic version, marketed as manual ?

thanks in advance for your insights

cheers

there is no gen of that version... only the white dial gen exists.

The AR on that model is great. no need to touch it. Its slightly blue, just like the gen (white dial) I've held the gen and mine and IMO the crystal is spot on.

Auto.

Search my threads for a review of that model (mine is in white)

:thumbsup:

I know the white dial is available from any TD. I had not known they made a black dial.. its probably a newer model they decided to throw together to feed the market.

Wish to own one very soon! But OMG 3 times the price of my regular rep!

Don't think of it as three times the price of a rep - think of it as one 1/245th of the gen price

:cheers:

Hi Tribe, still waiting to receive my piece, but in the meantime I might treat myself with another tourbillon.

Would you refined connoisseurs give me your opinions ( in terms of Durability ?; closeness to gen ? and overall appeal ) on the followings:

ps: apologies but no advertisment intented for pc, most TDs can get them...

Check the spelling of the VC! Some have bad mistakes...

Could someone point me to where I can learn more about the cartier Tourbillon (both the calibre and ballon bleu). I am in the market for a nice Tourbillon - currently split between VC Malte Tourbillon, Breguet Power Reserve, and the cartier ones... Your advice would really be appreciated. Thank you.

I want in on the club!

I'm making a decision between these three:

And...

The JLC and VC are 43mm and the ALS is 42mm

I'm personally leaning towards the JLC but the Vacheron is growing on me fast.
What do you guys think?

The dial on the VC looks awesome. Not sure how i feel about the tourby dial at the top though. Kinda unique...

Agreed. I almost wish either just the tourby or moonphase was there at the bottom.
I'm really curious to see what the VC dial looks like in person.
