Nice but it's not a flying tourbillon.

Looks pretty thin. Thickness has always been an issue for me in these tourbillons. Do you know what the thickness is of this one?

11 bro not very thin

I think Chinese tourbillon watches under 12 mm should be considered thin.

That’s not bad. Like @grillbill said. Gen is right below 9mm I think. So 11mm is okay for a 41mm watch.

Interesting if they make the purple one in this thickness.

I wish it was 39 or 37 mm.

I wish it was 39 or 37 mm.

The 37 mm would be a dream watch. But it’s even at 8.1mm
I think they can’t physically fit the seagull in such a small and thin case.

I wonder if this release is the rep of the 26730ST, which has a 41 mm x 10.6 mm case. Although the tourbillon in that doesn’t have brass parts, but only white metal. And also the dial has a different color:

Royal Oak - 26730ST.OO.1320ST.01 - Audemars Piguet

But that would has more similar case thickness.

Nope, this one:

Yes, as @jm_brc_7057 mentioned, the gen is 9mm thick, so a 2mm difference isn't much. If I recall correctly, these watches started with a thickness of 14mm, so it's a significant improvement.

While the Tourbillon isn't perfect, it's also a big improvement over previous ones

Yeah. Definitely a great improvement. 11mm is far less. Earlier models were bulky.

That one is fantastic. Although they’ll probably never rep it because of the proportions. It’s too thin.
