Shocking Find: Tourbillon Watch for JUST $500!

[@markpratt7505]

It may be a cheap turbillion, but it's made with an authentic watch movement. While some may scoff at the build quality, it is still a prized movement that is so overpriced by established watch brands. This watch is a reality check for some people who have an inability to assess real value on a watch movement.

Studio underdog is really taking the piss with their watches using this movement imo

[@julienfroidevaux1143]

How long will it last ?

[@Paul-tk2my]

Not sure why people are saying the movement is bad. The machining looks ok to me and they’ve gone to the trouble of using blued screws. It has blued Breguet hands and good Arabic numerals. The logo lets it down a little

[@danc5677]

"gone to the trouble of using blued screws" Those are 100% not heat treated blue screws or hands like in a Grand Seiko or other watch. They are merely coated with a blue paint. What's even your point about that?

[@Paul-tk2my]

@@danc5677 Ok mate calm down. I’ll tel you ‘what’s even my point about that’. Aesthetically it looks better whether they’re heated or painted, and overall this is a good looking and well made watch for the money.

Biggest issue imo is servicing / repair

[@iAmSult4n]

It'll last years and costs a fraction of the service cost of a high-end warch, let alone the actual watch itself.

[@artbanks27]

This is every mechanical watch ever.

[@danc5677]

You can't repair these watches, especially the tour. it's a replacement only.

[@Apex_Apeq]

Take it as a lesson.. China try to tell u that tourbillon movement prices on Swiss companies are nonsense. We all have been scammed before with them. They didnt make this on purpose. 👍🏼

[@robb9uk]

What is the point?

[@bingefreak1]

I have an aragon tourbillon that's accurate to 6 seconds a day

[@MrWolfsangel]

You got what you paid 😅 Took me 3 months to replace crown by warranty. And I feel they just send me just a new watch 🤣

[@CHMichael]

That's not bad ... try sending in a rolex. You don't get that back for a year.

[@BroAriq]

Yes, China is keeping it real.

[@timchan334]

“Sui Ghess”??!!

[@すすむくん-t1l]

中国製の精密時計は、需要があるのか？

[@sloppycee]

Those crooked screws would drive me nuts

[@DesertCow1000]

I really like this watch, idgaf what anybody thinks 🤷‍♂️💯

[@rodrigozauli6573]

I've bought an nice chinese AP with a tourbillon for 50 bucks! And it is a very, very nice replica.

[@OgSigmaShowcase]

With tourbion, how is that possible? Where did you get it?

[@averagemateo5037]

Where? The tourbillon replicas I've seen go for 700-800.

[@mrsmith8224]

I am sure the local chavs at the bar will be impressed….

[@mrb6597]

Here's how -- China 🙄

[@danc5677]

You're messaging on a device that was made there

[@mrb6597]

@@danc5677 Nope -- mine was made in Vietnam. _Totally_ different!

[@verynormalman]

This is really throwing money down the toilet. OR a bit like buying a watch from the shopping channel. Yes, it's a tourbillon, but is that jacket in Primark, that looks like Moncler, as good as Moncler? No!

[@chunky6272]

Let me guess you have never owned a Chinese watch because your too good for them

[@verynormalman]

@@chunky6272 As a business consultant, I have visited Chinese factories making bicycles and watches. Also bizarrely wine production. It's not a very reassuring experience. If you think the production facility is anything like you see in Switzerland, then you need to re-evaluate your expectations. I have some watches which contain Chinese made components. And a big G Shock collection. Personally I don't belief that "luxury goods" should be made in factories where the conditions are literally Victorian, and where pollution is not a consideration.
