[OFFICIAL] RWI Tourbillon Club

[theflyingdutchman]

Same layout as breguet and previous VC models. PR at 12, tourb at 6

Nice...a few mistakes of course, e.g. tourby colour...

The rep doesnt look high quality enough to warrant anywhere near that asking price...

Please explain: "not high quality enough, by looks"? Lets say besides the strap... gen strap here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Breguet-Blac...9917057?pt=US_Watch_Bands&hash=item1e8c1fdc01

The rep strap is ok, alteast its a gen croc strap.


Take for example for the white version, a few things i noticed at a quick look, mostly on the case back movement deco:
- The gen seems to be a silver dial rather than a coloured white dial.
- The case back movement plate on the rep is rather thin, when the gen is pretty "thick". You will see what i meant when looking at how sunken the center wheel is on the gen vs rep.
- The case back movement plate texture is totally wrong, it should be nearer to those used on the PAM 111 movement, smoother.
- The case back movement engravings are shallow and does not look "quality"

But overall still a decent rep and good effort from the factory, just not at $818.

Just my 2 cents.

Point well made! Worst is the wrong colours tourby case and any issue on the front... but also for a tourby with 818 USD is no much!

I am seriously considering this tourbillon. I'd like some opinions of this model.

This has been reviewed by cwazy before, he also has a video review of this in youtube. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svr0CjdWv70

 

[frankhamil]

Thank you for the quick reply.

Excellent review and video. This was most helpful.

I've bought reps before, but not via the internet.

I assume I just add it to the cart and proceed, correct.

I know Chinese New Year is coming up, so I'd guess there will be some delay in getting it.

Thanks, again.

Amazing,

[Et3r17al]

Took the plunge for this one,.. Third incoming tourbillon....
Starting to think whether I made the wrong choice and should've gotten the new IWC with auto rotor ....
Hmmmmm

 

[Retina]

Yes you made the wrong choice. You should have gotten both

 

[Et3r17al]

Hahah

 

[Et3r17al]

Eventually that will happen...

 

[Retina]

cwazy had a listing for his iwc tourbillon with box etc awhile back. looks gorgeous with the strap he included.

 

[theflyingdutchman]

Eventually that will happen...

Yes, strange it Always does.... stopped buying reps for two years after going gen... and here I am again, buying reps....
