Hi. Just found this forum. Great resource. Wish I had found it sooner.
Anyway, I'll start with a question. Josh and Andrew both have very cheap (around $100) tourbillon watches that are described as "moving" faux tourbillons. I might just grab one, but can anyone describe to me what a faux tourbillon movement looks like? I've seen real tourbillons moving in person and on video, but I've never seen a faux one in motion. Do they move slower? In a different way?
I have one on a breitling and its basically a cut out window over a moving gear so that it moves back and forth... Its pretty cool but doesnt really look like a genuine tourby.
Welcome!
Thanks for the quick reply and the welcome. So instead of "flying" in circle, it just moves back and forth like a pendulum? Interesting.
I'm sort of on the "why not, it's $100?" thought right now.
Why not its only $100.00
exactly... :D :D
I bought an unbranded one with faux tourbillon.. and so far keep great time... its just cool to see the Tourbillon. I also has this one from ebay, actual functioning tourbillon

Good to see you Egg.
enjoy the forum - we're happy to have you join the team.
It is just a cut out over a gear. The gear happens to go back and forth, IE turn clockwise and then back counterclock wise again, but not like something moving through the window.
