New Hublot tourbillion model - why is it only $200 for a tourbillion?

I like this watch and was also wondering about the low price. The watch looks awesome

Pretty sure it's just an exposed balance wheel and not a real tourbillon

Yeah, contrary to the "flying man tourbillon" description, it's a skeletonized, open heart 21 jewel movement. Looks intriguing and reasonably priced, though. I might pick one up just for the heck of it. [emoji1]

Yep, that is exactly what it is!

I agree, it is reasonably priced! I'm with you Mate. If it's still here after some projects

I'd like to get a Hublot and like the look of this one, however it does not look like a very close rep. What are the Hublot aficionados thoughts on taking a shot on this one for my first Hublot rep?

Not a very close rep indeed, but a real skeletonized movement. And again, in my opinion it's a watch that looks extremely nice, unbeatable at this price point. So much that I might get one for myself, despite my child wrist.

BTW the rose gold version is out : http://www.intime.co/hublot/3074-cl...best-edition-skeleton-flying-tourbillion.html

Has anyone ordered one yet? If so how did it look once it arrived? Thanks :)

Just got mine in today's mail. It's a lot of watch for the money, if you can get past the fact that it's not a tourbillon. The skeletonized dial is just pure porn and enough reason to keep it in my collection. The clasp is surprisingly more comfortable than any on my other Hublot reps.

I'm not too familiar with tourbillions. Is this truly a tourbillion or an open heart/skeleton piece?
