Hi mate, yes it is, I literally just received it a couple of days ago from Puretime. The watch is really pretty good, not sure if the strap will take a Gen replacement. It has the metal tongue like Gen RM’s but it’s only about half as long as a RM 035, and I can’t find an example of a Gen 27-02 strap. If anyone can find a pic on the net, please post it thanks.@aquamac is that the latest version with the working tourbilion?
Here you go mate, also below, a combination of a 27-01 case (which had a dead movement and a 12-01 movement which had a shattered sapphire case.@aquamac could you kindly confirm thickness? Depending on dealers/TD it ranges from 15 to 18mm
Well I would get the one with the Miami blue rubber if the USDGBP wasn’t such a mess….If you are thinking of getting a 27-02, if I had my time again, I would get the one with the white rubber strap. The orange fabric strap is OK, but i think let’s the watch down a bit.
I know what you mean, almost 1$ = £1. The worlds gone mad!Well I would get the one with the Miami blue rubber if the USDGBP wasn’t such a mess….
This is a watch I made from 2 other watches, a 27-01 case (15mm thick) and the movement from a 12-01 which had a damaged sapphire case. It has a real tourbillon and the basis of the movement is more or less identical. The crown tube aligns perfectly and I only had to grind away a small amount of the “X” face edges. It did involve stripping this down so as not to get dirt into the tourby though and removing hands etc. I am quite pleased with the results of a mornings work. Can you post the pic of the non TD’s watch that you mention?Is this the new 12-01? A non td biao6688 has something similar. With a tourbillion
16mm thickness.
