they probably could, as long as the case is thick enough for the added rotor height.
A proper wrist shot outdoors on a rainy seattle day.
I promise I'll do a photoshoot this friday

Well that's mine ordered. Just waiting for payment details to come through.
Can't wait.
This review helped make my mind up. Great job.

Outstanding guilloche work and I could probably watch that tourbillon movement all day! But the dial will look ungainly on my small wrist.
Congrats on your stunning acquisition!

Guys... When you'll see my tourby watch, that I expect to make at the end of this year, you'll sell all your tourby watches, just trust me on it.

A teasing might stop me from buying this Breguet.
Otherwise I am not sure if I can afford 2 tourbies and the upcoming, AP FC, Tudor BB, and who knows what will be released this summer.
@cwazy: Nice shots, man! The only thing that kinda weirds me out a little is the bridge. Do they polish them with a 120 grit sanding belt?? Lol! Do you know if the power reserve is 60+, like in the manual wind "shanghai classic"?
@Luth: Do you know when the two variations of this auto movement were introduced? And also, are you still planning to use the ST8000 in your tourbillon?

I have not fully wound my PR. For tourbillons you're not suppose to. I'll give it a full wind later tonight
Mate, I'm collecting all information on all tourbillons made in China right now - technical drawings, data, and prices. All of them have pluses and minuses. Seagull 8000 is the best one, hands down, but it has off center hands, and I don't like it too much, and the tourby window is 13mm only. Liaoning 5010 is out of production already, I just talked to their manager 2 days ago. They offer 5003, that is copy of Seagull 8000, but also with off center hands. Shanghai is out of question because of that ugly bridge, that make it look, like cheap "open heart" fake tourbillons. Guangzhou will give me all information on DG-8000 (auto) and DG8200 (manual) on Tuesday, both have hand in the center, and the prices are quite affordable. Hangzhou 3310 is a great one, but again - hands are off center. If the people are OK with off centered hands - then we'll choose - or auto, or manual. Seagull 8002 is auto, but the price is very high. So, if manual - then ST-8000, if auto- probably, Guangzhou DG- 8000. But everything could change, nothing carved in stone yet.
I don't know the time of Shanghai tourby's introduction time, but ST-8002 was introduced in 2011, and DG-8000-in 2012.
That's a beautiful watch. Out of curiosity, what is your wrist size, I'm trying to decide if it would look good on my 6.75" wrist.
