Hi guys, I just received the bbr v3. Just an amazing piece. Probably my favorite watch.

Yes but I recommend to change it. Looks a bit plastic. I will try to find a new one.

Let us know if you find something good.

Orloff has told me he will make straps for rd if sent the rep one for the inserts. As soon as the current situation gets a bit better ill be sending my double tourbillon strap to him.

Have all RD the same lugs measurement? Would be handy :) but highly unlikely...

Nah not even close as far as i know. I ordered a cheap strap from the gate literally to nick the inserts from but its way off.

Well even the buckle is a bit loose/wobbly so I don't know if we can find better quality buckles. Someone found that in the past?

As i say in the review, I think the buckle and strap on my v1 are great. Maybe things have gone downhill since then?

Looks similar on pictures. But I feel it is a bit less qualitative than the rest of the watch. Only my opinion

Hi guys,
Is there something special I should take care with a tourbi?
I read someone saying that it should not be fully winded. Is that true?

Ive fully wound all of mine, no issues. Honestly about 20 or so winds will do you for the night. They’re less fragile than people say, put it that way. Buy it
and enjoy it :)

Thanks for the info. It was just to know if I had to take some special care to my excalibur.
It will anyway be the watch of special days

Just discovering this one and it looks absolutely stunning. Is the 42mm x 11mm as listed by TDs exact and accurate?
