Not what I meant, sorry. Is there a difference in the SS and RG faces on the gen like the reps are showing? Or is this just bad lighting? Am I the only one who sees the massive difference in the faces between those two pics?
I had the old AP Tourby, the movement is really well done as a Tourbillon but I had it fully torn down and serviced. It measured 12.2mm. My watchmaker believed he could easily get .3mm off it .5mm at a push and .7mm at the breaking points of reality. For that little off I decided it was not worth it. My normal JF 15400 V2 was 11.2 and he took .6mm off and could maybe go another .2mm but with a lot of work and care. I did think getting the V2 down to 10.6mm was worth it but getting the tourby down to 11.7mm when the gen is 9mm was not worth it in my opinion. Maybe this one is different but I doubt it.

You’re right. I confused this thread with the other one I posted today (another AP tourby release by R8 factory). Sorry for the misunderstsnding
Anyone see the tourby in action ?
If anyone has received it could you post video of tourby in action ?

Here's a video of the watch. Doesn't look as impressive in the video imo

It seems like that there is a significant unbalanced gap in the rep factory/group between the people who designed/developed/replicated this complex mechanism of the rep and the people who actually hands on polishing/assembling. The one is a genius and the other is not only a skilled person but also with carelessness and lack of professionalism.
How amazing they replicate this complex mechanical master piece and ruin it by a simple silly carelessness obvious mistake?

thank you for the video.
might be the video quality or whatever, but i agree it does't look smooth/real or idk movement looks odd.
Hoping a member can give comment on the quality of tourby in action.
Yea you can tell if you know the gen maybe the next version will be better and you can really see the quality is not JF standard .

that's a baller rep mate, enjoy it!
1.st congratulations. I'm slightly jealous
2... How do you like the fit / feel on your wrist? To big? Bulky?
3. Tourby fully functional ? Lot of noise?
Thank you in advance
