Updated Royal Oak Tourbillon by R8 Factory are out

[tangokilo]

I do not see the version with the automatic winding wheel on any TD website? I still see regular manual wind version.

It's not yet posted or advertised on any TD site. I've checked with a couple and they can get it. The wait time is 5 days from Factory to TD. Just ask your TD.

Ok thanks it looks very well made from the videos.

The 12 o’clock markers are slanted at the bottom a bit hard to ignore it

Indeed. Although it's very hard to notice when scaled down to actual size (40mm across bezel) and viewed from arm's length.

Any chance you could post the rest of your QC pics for general interest / education seeing as you are the first member here to receive QC on this new model. As long as you're not asking for "general help" with QC, I believe posting QC pics (especially for new models) is allowed.

Yea no worries the qc images link is https://imgur.com/a/cGi9rOd
It doesn’t look that thick and should be pretty wearable

I would reject for the 12 o'clock. That is my personal opinion though.

If I am not mistaken, the R8 version without the automatic winding has a misspelled word on the movement of "JEWESL". Can anyone post a picture of the new R8 with automatic movement of the back so we can see the writing.

I would reject it as well. 12 o clock :/

There’s a spelling error on this version too. They spelled seven as “seveen”.

 

[tangokilo]

Ah I see thank you. Such a shame about spelling errors. Not the biggest problem I suppose but strangely I can accept a slight thicker version or color variance but for me spelling errors are the worst.

I wonder if the dial of the ss grey rep is finished with a granular, frosted surface like gen's.

 

[krkqm2008]

ordered and paid for...grey dial.. will share QC as soon as i get them

Hey, thank you! Is the dial sandblasted like gen's or matte? Can you measure the case thickness?

Real stunning piece thanks for sharing, did they fix the typo in the back?

Could you post a few photos with different lighting on the dial please? Also how does the bracelet feel?

Sorry, one more question please. Is self-winding working (ie. can the rotor power the watch)?

Haha we all bombarded him with questions as soon as he posted

Hi. Sorry for delay in getting back to you.self winding works perfectly. Accuracy is amazing. Typo on the back is there but not very big font so have to learn to live with it.size and photos will have to wait till tomorrow when the sun is out and I can find the micrometer
