The tourb is the opposite of the rolex way. No use whatsoever and complicated.

IMO, that Rolex Milgauss lost it's face. The tourbillon is totally out of proportions, it's too big and too round. But I'm sure some will like it.

You know that if Rolex ever made a tourbillon it wouldn't be visible but the dial would be covered in text like:
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date GRAVITY MASTER II Ceratourb Evergyro Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified

I would be interested to know the numbers. Rolex already certifies its movements to +/- 2 spd, and anecdotal accounts suggest many of them perform better than that. (My Sub is usually within +1.) How much improvement is a tourbillon realistically going to offer, relative to its cost?

I would be amazed if a 3rd party mod is as accurate as OEM

conceptually it makes sense, but i have no idea if it helps that much. I imagine it does if watches otherwise have positional variances. For sure my old DSSD resting crown up at night kept it more accurate vs crown down over a long period of time. Its the only one i have noticed that with though.

I think tourbillon movements are cool as hell, but definitely against what Rolex tries to do.
I'll go with a Lange when I come up with $200K. |

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...ion-tourbillon The DeVille Tourbillon is 1s per day. https://www.omegawatches.com/watches...billon/product Given the choice I’d take the Credor. I did try the DeVille on in the shop a few weeks back and it looked great. Sadly out of price range though. |

Positional variance affects my two- year-old Sub. Leaving it face up overnight gives it the best accuracy, at <+1. Putting it on a winder causes it to gain another second or two. Still better than any other mechanical watch I've had, including an Omega Master Co-Axial.

I just meant it wasn’t totally pointless, but has a plausible explanation to justify its existence.

I still don’t get the whole tourbillon thing.
So it’s different as spins instead of cradle back and forth. Great. But, inaccurate and very, very expensive. Some look great. Some look like they should not have been made, like this one basically. |

its a mod, not fake. All the parts that say Rolex seem to be made by Rolex.

the real question is what is the accuracy of those particular watches w/o the Tourbillon. Comparing a watch with one to a Rolex with similar accuracy specs without one doesnt tell you that much.
