[Fanti]

I got this in today

Video of the two watches

What power reserve you get ? I only get 15 hours on the grey one, but 60 on the black one. Hand winding on the grey one is quite hard too…

A bump to ask if anyone has bought one lately and have pics or vids?

I would be curious to see a recent example as well. I have seen recent in-hand pictures with 2 different variants: the spelling corrected, and another where the jewels printing is not present. Both are sources that I some doubts about so take this with a grain of salt.

A few pics of recent stock from a local Ch dealer.

what is the actual thickness of the grey one ?

I recently got the grey dial and it is a beautiful piece, the tourbillon looks wonderful in full flow, as vid below shows, and the applied letters and sandblasted grey dial are nicely done, a really great piece for the price.

Custom made meteorite dial for the manual winding models posted by WeChat seller popup:

Hello it’s been a whole year with this watch, looking to spice things up with a different dial now
Do you remember who the seller of that meteorite dial is? I’d like to ask them if they make it for the automatic version.

Thanks

No but try to ask TDs like @CTime or JTime.

Been a while since I’ve worn this out, still looks stunning.
Movement is still going strong on both my grey and blue dial. almost 2 years old

I have 3 tourbillons and they are all problem free

The Seagull Tourbillions if they don't modify them are pretty much rock solid.

 

[peterpl]

Yes Seagull Tourbs are pretty stable and no issues with reliability. I had one for like 7 years without issues at all

Here is a picture of me wearing the genuine watch for reference, if needed by anyone.

I used to have the black one but the way the crystal pops out (just like in your video) made me not wear it. Shame they never fixed it. Otherwise a beautiful watch.

Bought a busted R8F Flying Turbo here on M2M. Turns out the issues was this wheel from the auto works. It was messed up beyond repair and was locking up the ratchet wheel.

The watch is now working like a champ as a manual wind but I’d love to restore the auto wind if possible.

I know the ST8000 base movement did not have an automatic module so this is aftermarket. Anybody have one of these wheels, a donor, or know where I can pick one up?
