So I've been eyeing a tourbillon for quite a while. So recently I saw a Sturhling Original tourbillon, "Imperial Tourbillon" for $699 45mm, 19 jewels, 40 hours power reserve with 2 year warrenty. I pulled the trigger and so far the watch has been running great. The tourbillon movement is chinese made, from PTR resource not. The watch does look nice and the tourby is pretty neat, but for $699 do you think it's worth the price?

Please don say "if you like it keep it", i just want to find out if $699 is a good value for a chinese tourby watch.

Value is largely in the eye of the beholder. But, for a tourbillon, that's definitely cheap. Granted, the Chinese make everything dirt cheap so that's probably just about right.

One surefire way to check value is to gauge its performance, how accurate is it? Search the forums here on Seiko Monster Timekeeping to see how they test accuracy. If your watch does anything near those watches, I'd say you got a great deal.

I've been testing it for the last couple of days and I must say it's pretty good, it's about +2/-2 seconds

Sounds good so far. Keep testing for a week to a month.

i don't mean it's +2 seconds a day, I mean it's constantly about either +2 sseconds/-2 seconds per hour. Never goes past or below that

How is the artistic side of the watch? Are the details crisp, and well manufactured? That price doesn't sound too bad, but I'd like to see a few pics. You probably got a good watch that will last a long time!

the fit and finish on the watch itself is great, the dial work looks pretty impressive.
