My next watch is a Breitling Endurance Pro... .the red one. I can't wear my mechanical Tudor for bike rides the vibration ruins the movement.

Riding with my Seamaster those days caused it to be sent to the workshop. Balance spring snapped!

The Breitling Endurance Pro is too expensive for a quartz.

Bike rides? Get a Casio G-Shock. Can take whatever vibrations.
This is the ideal choice.

Breitling design is getting from bad to worse. These models really look cheap and bengish. I really missed those masculine designs from the 90s like these Crosswind big-date models.

Interesting. I wonder how much each costs.

The four great beauties from Chinese antiquity, regarded as the most stunning women of their era, date respectively from the Spring and Autumn (722-481 BC), Three Kingdoms (220-280 AD), Western Han dynasty (206 BC-9 AD) and Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) periods. Above and beyond their sublime appearance, which was enough to amaze even nature, the four Chinese beauties forged a reputation through the influence they had on the rulers of their time, and, as a result, the history of China. Legend has it that three of them caused their kingdoms to weaken and all came to a mysterious end.

Could not get the info online and I believe these were limited edition and not available at the shops anymore. My rough guess is when they were issued for sale, easily in the low 6 figure range, i.e. between S$100 to 300K. :coffee:

The Cheapest Tourbillon Watch In The World​


May 15, 2020

The G701 - cheapest tourbillon watch in the world

G701 - The most affordable automatic tourbillon watch in the world

The Automatic Tourbillon G701 is the world's most affordable tourbillon watch.

The G701 series has it all. With a beautiful design and luxurious feel, it offers a high-class experience like no other. With a price tag of $166.99 (retail price $582.99), the G701 is the cheapest tourbillon watch in the world at the moment. The superb timepiece comes equipped with a date, month, and day dial. It also uses a standard triple-axis tourbillon with a mesmerizing rotation. On top of the comprehensive time visualization, the watch is very durable. The strong 316L stainless steel body is perfect for daily wearing. Furthermore, the 3 ATM water-resistance and crystal clear Hardlex glass deliver excellent endurance in the long term use. Finally, the G701 has a very lasting power reserve of 35 hours. The watch is fully automatic and doesn't need a battery to run. Natural hand movement is enough to charge the watch during a regular day. This is perfect for many watch users because you will never need to worry about changing the battery on your watch.

We tested the watch and it exceeded all expectations in use. We noticed that the battery, when full, can run without any hand movement for 48 hours. That is 13 hours more battery than promised in the description. This means that the G701 can get you through the day with ease, not having to worry if the watch will stop. Also, the actual watch movement is high-frequency movement, which means the second-hand tics multiple times a second instead of the regular 1 tic/second movement.
The watch also proved to be very accurate in terms of timekeeping. After a week in use, the watch was off by +4 seconds, which is an outstanding score for an automatic watch. This tourbillon watch is unmistakably one of the best in terms of value for money. For under 1000 you will struggle to find a better watch than the G701 automatic tourbillon series. One of the few 10/10 watches in under 500 price category.


Cheapest tourbillon watch in use

The watch offers more value for money than most watches in the 1000 price range.

If you love tourbillon watches and are thinking of getting yourself one, the G701 offers huge value in the long run. A durable, accurate watch equipped with a tourbillon that costs tens of times less than it's closest competitors. The same watch scored 10/10 on our 3 month test period. As an automatic watch with 48 hours of usage time, you will never need to worry about replacing the battery. Many brands struggle to bring this much value in a 2000 dollar watch. Let's recap the best qualities of the G701 Automatic Tourbillon watch.
  • Tourbillon with a beautiful movement
  • Automatic - doesn't require a battery
  • 35-48 hour power reserve
  • 3 ATM water-resistance
  • Stainless steel body with anti-scratch Hardlex glass
  • Very accurate in use +/- 15 seconds a day
We want everyone to experience the extravagance feel the G701 can offer. All men should, at least once during their lifetime, get their hands on a tourbillon watch with an automatic movement. This is why we offer everyone reading this article an exclusive 15% discount from the G701 tourbillon watch. To get the discount, order your G701 watch via the button below and it will be automatically applied at checkout. 1 watch/discount MAX.

Nice, but too dressy for everyday use. I'm contended and happy with my Casio daily beater. Cheap and good. Minimalist and no frills.
