Thanks for the review mate. Tossing up between this and the gold version.
Nice write-up.
The review definitely has me itching to buy this. How has it held up over the past few months?
why she is manual? It's complicated "every day"
I'm new to the page. Can anyone point me in the right direction to buying a roger dubuis?
I want to get a jb factory roger dubuis excalibur. I'm having a hard time navigating through the site
If winding a watch is complicated i think your pretty much screwed in life my friend! Plus the gen is manual wind.
keep calm with me please ok ?!
I know the gen is manual wind of course !
But this rep is hard to wind on the end !
He's perfectly calm with you.
Why do you think this rep is hard to wind ? Since you have it, you could perhaps, elaborate a little about this...
In fairness its not the easiest watch to wind. The crown is very low profile and too close to the case. I think either bbr or jbf released a special winding tool on the next version because its genuinely not easy. But still, look at it! Its a stunner! Ill take a little difficulty in winding to have a roger dubuis tourbillon on the wrist
That was exactly my point of asking him, I like when people don't simply do a one liner without any further explanation, thanks man for the additional info.
On a similar point, I've never seen anyone complain about the crown on the Patek 5711, but my fat fingers have a hard time with it for example, so I wanted to be sure it was not something along those lines
I think its probably pretty similar in difficulty to wind toa 5711 but obviously the patek has a miyota which are easy to wind and automatic. The roger dubuis with the tourby movement has a lot more resistance towards fully wound. If the patek had the same kind of resistance it would be impossible to wind. The lack of cg’s on the dubuis helps a lot. Don’t let it put you off if your considering the watch, it’s exquisite
Thanks again for the extra info, adds to your nice review ! Keep em' coming, you have a talent at showing stuff and adding content to the forum
