That's one of my favorite IWCs too if not the favorite complications watch. It's very elegantly put together. Usually complications watches are very in your face but this hits the sweet spot for me.

I don't quite follow your questions about the minute and hour "cursors". Hopefully, someone with better understanding will chime in. One thing I can tell you is that most if not all the tourbies you linked are fantasy (as are most rep tourbies, anyway). And as you rightly observed, the audermars is the same as the VC with just a different brand stamped. They all tend to be of very good quality at this price range. Choose whichever suits your taste best.

Hyjynx is incorrect. Although my watch is a rep, it is a real tourbillon and it is beautiful. But it was in the ballpark of $800-$850 USD.
that's what I understood in shootbox is for
why I ask confirmation at the right place.
among those who are here.
apart from these two, three people with the problem of alignment of the needles
the rockers, everything else is identical to the original?
(see video)
thank you

Where does Hyjinx mention that these tourbillons are fake?
He said those watches you provided links are 'FANTASY' watches. Which means the exact watches were never produced by the brand they bear on dial. He was not talking about the tourbillon movement when he mentioned Fantasy.

Ah, maybe I misunderstood him. I took "One thing I can tell you is that most if not all the tourbies you linked are fantasy (as are most rep tourbies, anyway)" as meaning fake. I definitely could have taken that out of context.

I agree, I doubt Hyjinx was stating they weren't real tourbillons, just that the whole face and overall design on many tourbillons is 1 part Swiss and 1 part imaginative Chinese watchmaker (who is limited to parts on hand and big limitations on the complications they can put on their tourby reps).
I don't think the fantasy issue is a terribly big deal if the overall design is sound and brand-appropriate. For example, no gen JLC has ever been made with the same design as the most common JLC tourby rep. If you were wearing your JLC tourby rep, unless someone had a catalog of ALL JLC tourbies from EVERY year of production, no one could possibly think to ask if it was genuine.

Thanks for clearing that up [MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] and [MENTION=41331]machiavegli[/MENTION]. Sorry if I led anyone to think by "fantasy" I meant the movement itself is fake. That was not my intention at all. It will be redundant of me to quote Wooky and Mach, but they said it better and with more clarity. [emoji1][emoji120][emoji106]

I don't think the IWC tourby is fantasy at all then, its an very close replics, here is the gen for ~$90,000 USD
http://www.jomashop.com/iwc-mens-watch-iw504207.html
Its nearly identical

Tourbillons are really nice, but when it comes to service the watch you are screwed...

yup! IWC tourby are quite accurate to gen. [emoji6]
but I'm generally hesitent due to prospect of servicing it...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Servicing is overrated... even my gen IWC dealer says; if it runs, it runs... no need to service! Once it may slow down, then do so! Okay an IWC service can we 1000+USD... so good tip!
