because a real tourbillon is something you only see on 100K watches

it's like the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship and precision. fossil has just copied the look of one

[Anonymous No.8678961]

>>8678560
A tourbillon puts the balance wheel in a cage that rotates in one or more dimensions as the balance wheel swings back and forth, to, in theory, evenly distribute the force of gravity. They are often displayed on the front of the movement as a sign of haut horology. Since the balance wheel already swings back and forth, it takes an eye familiar with tourbillons to differentiate between open-heart configurations that display the balance wheel and actual tourbillons.

That watch has an open-heart configuration.

I bought it from Manbushijie (you can google it, a very well reputated seller of PAM homages).
About the quality, I can't say anything bad about it, it seems to be a quite well built watch.
It's a PAM 111 hommage so it's completely polished, case and bezel, as the original one and of course, hand winding.
I have to say that it looks way better when you have it in your wrist than in the photos of the web, and all for 79 bucks, including shipping costs. Very happy with the purchase, I recommend it.

Why would I want you to timepost some cars you might as well could had photographied in a parking lot? Specially if this is a watch thread? Post watches without that obnoxious attitude or GTFO.

For me this isn't but a try (and miss) bait to lead me into asking for pictures of things that aren't probably yours. That or you just need permission to timepost your (according to you) shit. Are you that much of a pussy?

A couple of threads ago I timeposted a picture of my ~175k watch collection and yet I get excited when some other anon posts a vintage Tissot that is well preserve or an inherited Omega or a dark face Nomos cause of its uncommoness and don't mistreat them or act like I'm the smelliest shit.

Uggh, I hate that: closer to the hand looks better but it's sometimes uncomfortable and the crown gets in the way.

I tend to wear it loose so that it moves around throughout the day and so that knocking it will not as likely cause a scratch.

[Anonymous No.8686555]

Above the wristbone of course, and not loose. I alway wear them this way, see:
>>8683731
>>8683675
>>8680720

This provides a more elegante wear of watches and prevents the crown, or even the whole watch, depending on size, to bury in your hand and obstructs its movility, also, loose watches tend to get more damage over time.

Plus, if you wear the watch above the wrist you have more options regarding size.

Great taste. The eggshell finished dial (made of solid gold) is something I'm eager to see in the next salon of high horlogery here in my coutry, only two more months now. Numbers speaking, I bet you couldn't belive the thinness of the applied indexes (the correct term to designate that technihc) in the souverain models; it's mindblowing.

The Breitling keeps great time as you'd expect. It probably loses the same amount of seconds in a month as the Nomos (one in the middle) loses in a day.

It's light, comfortable, sturdy with loads of digital features (minute repeater, chronograph, alarm, timer, GMT, perpetual day-date month, and a light-up display).

[Anonymous No.8688320]

>>8688249
it doesn't look anything like a SARB though.

>the indicators
are totally different in every way (apart from the material)
>the dial
on this one it's two tone, while none of the SARBS are. The sarbs have the 300 indicators with elevated dial towards the edge though.
>the hands
The SARB hands are wedge formed dauphine hands (and the SS bracelet ones have lume), while those are just flat and boring
>crown guards
this seems to have some, while the SARBs don't
>lugs
The lugs are way longer on all SARBs
>bracelet
this one seems to have folded links, while the metal bracelet SARBs are all solid links with SEL. This is just from what I assume on this one, but I really have no idea and hollow links don't need to be a bad thing.

So it resembles a SARB by having Seiko on it and no numbers?
