Hi All , ...I just got this tourbillion on the Bay ,...I was the only bidder at the start offer price . I believe it's Tungsten . I have been wanting a flying tourbillion for quite a while so I made the start bid never really thinking  I would get it .  I'm stoked .

Please make a review on a chinese tourbillon, with macro pictures and impressions on how it works and how it looks. There is little information on the internet about these things.

 

How old are them, meaning for how long do you have them. Has anyone serviced one of these? I believe people are not too confident in these chinese movements.

 

I wanted to get out of my head this preconception and I bought an asian 6497 (Parnis) and I like it so far (100$ for a 10 seconds delta is ok, I say). I don't expect them to last 100 years, but still, 600$ for a tourbillon is not bad, IMHO.

 

Thank you,

Bogdan

Howzit Bogdan ,  A few years ago I looked at an affordable Tourbillion....affordable because it was a Chinese movement , like this one , and it was $950 . On this Android , as I have stated , I was the first bidder at the opening offer price and didn't think I would be the final bidder . 

  I ended up getting this watch for $400...and I am surprised , and pleased .  The jury is still out on this , so let's me see how I feel about it after it arrives .

I do feel positive I will like it .......especially after I get hypnotized watching the escapement for a while .

    • I'm just about to clean the parts of a Cal 684 which has a similar Winding Gear (#1464). I plan to clean it in my usual way (ultrasonic with Elma solutions) then dip in Lubeta V105. As for Epilame. The only parts I'll be treating are cap/pallet jewels and escapement wheel. I'm not splashing my precious fluids all over the place !
    • Yes it sounds as if the gut has fouled up. If the clock is not level that can cause the gut not to wind onto the barrel . You need to take it out of its case and post some photos. The type of key for these clocks are crank keys. 
    • This guy unites the two reverse wheels in the usual system of winding movement. Do not take it apart, thow takin it apart is possible. You can get lost the small ratchets inside. I wouod use pure petrol to clean it ahd will rotate for some time the wheels when holding the pinion untill the guy is diped in the petrol. Then, after epilaming (if any aplied), I would use some Moebius 8000 solved in pure petrol and put a drop on the wheel, then will blow with air and let the petrol dry. This is old recepy not from Omega manuals where I have no idea what is the procedure.
    • This is to prevent the stone on the other side from breaking when canon is pressed. You can put the canon before assembling the movement, but this is if the 3th wheel when in place will not prevent the other wheels to get in place. The other way is to assemble the train and then to put the movement on something that the pivot tip will lay on and thus the pinion will not press the stone when canon is installed.
    • My experience with this Vertex is to unscrew the ring towards the back, with a screwdriver on the slot.  The Crystal can then be pushed back.
