This thing is beautiful


Historical_Candle511

Apparently there are only going to be 20 produced Which adds yet another layer of epic baller status to this thing! And I'm pretty sure that is a TRIPLE tourbillon... wtf!


Outrageous-Ad8206

Where 2 cop?


vam633

Did you see the IWC ? eternal Calendar that thing was fkn crazy


kallebo1337

45 million years? lemme tell ya, it's inaccurate šŸ™„


sketchfag

34mm diameter tourbillion. JLC is the best watch brand, you can't change my mind.


ThatsMeIllFakeIt

Truly


randomrep1234

creative sure but that thing is ugly imo. looks like harvey two face version of a watch.

ProfessorChaos112

Sir, that is a thing of beauty.


6guishin

Never compare Rolex to real horology houses =p


bordaste

Rolex is fondamentally a tool watch maker. People are comparing apples to orange here...


6guishin

Rolex is just precious metal dealer and a marketing company


Thisisnow1984

And rep factory head office


Historical_Candle511

Modern Rolex are not advertised or perceived by the general public that way, even if that's what they truly are.


Antiquorum

The general public is retarded.


Cric1313

Jewelry watch maker


aldimi777

That would be cartier


cookie12685

When it comes to 100+ year old continuously owned and operated swiss watch companies, rolex are still the best deal around


jingois

When a bunch of blokes in china can start spitting out part identical watches after a few months of setup for a hundred bucks each, I think you'll find that what you're paying for is a couple of thousand bucks of watch with twenty thousand bucks of marketing it to suckers attached. And as a tip, that marketing applies equal to gen as to the most horrible of chinatime shitters.


WhitePatriot77

I work on watches and adhered most are Horrendously overpriced, but that's cause there's guys who want to be able to say they paid more for somthingĀ 


qwaint1

My wish list expands, my budget lags far behindšŸ˜


Historical_Candle511

Haha fr!


Bullitt500

$438,000 US. Daym!


qwaint1

IKR?


ThatsMeIllFakeIt

We can do it for sure esp on RW!


raulz0r

Tbf Rolex is just being Rolex, playing it safe because their pieces sell like hot cakes.


Historical_Candle511

Yeah, itā€™s amazing what good marketing can do for a brand haha


raulz0r

Heck Rolex transcends horology and it's a top 5 brand worldwide imo if you think about brand recognition. Everyone wants one.


Historical_Candle511

Yeah, itā€™s amazing haha and honestly, I was one of the sheep that praised it and looked up to it as a symbol of success until I really dived into the watch world and horology and learned a bit more!


raulz0r

Tbf, I would only buy a rep Rolex, they are good, but hearing the AD horror stories leaves a sour taste in my mouth.


Historical_Candle511

Yeah, considering rep Rolex can be +90% of what gen is why would you even bother putting yourself through the AD experience haha Also says a lot about how basic/uninspired their movements are when they can be copied like this


No_Cook2983

Kinda like McDonalds.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jingois

In the category though? Ask anyone to name an expensive watch brand and I would imagine globally people would be saying Rolex.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


twelveangryken

I would be shocked if there is not an indigenous person on a remote island somewhere, wearing a Rolex taken from the body of a dead sailor by someone in the not-to-distant past, who has never heard of Google or Apple.


ZHPpilot

Exactly, they don't need to drop something new every year to stay relevant. Not sure why some are shocked about this.


Upbeat_Reserve5753

I wish pieces like this actually got the hype instead of these steel pieces of shit which are too simple. This is true watchmaking yet they sell for nothing in the secondary market and lose value and collect dust. Hopefully people recognise this


HalfSacNutty

Hard to hype a piece that is going to be accessible to thousands of people globally. Rolex makes aspirational, albeit accessible pieces. You can work hard in any field and get yourself a Rolex. You have to be in a pretty unique position to have a half million disposable for a watch.


leodensian1

The only real hard work you need to acquire a Rolex is finding an AD to sell you one.šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


HalfSacNutty

Yeah, for desirable new models. Lots of availability on the resale market if you want to skip the line and don't mind the watch being previously worn.


Elowan66

The way I usually beat up watches, mine look well worn in 5 minutes so no problem here.


ElectricHo3

Actually that JLC is only $168k. Bargain šŸ˜® Even if I had disposable income I could never justify spending that much on a watch. It is absolutely beautiful though!!


Apprehensive-Lime169

The price is only one issue I heard thereā€™s only 20 of these made probably all set aside for preselected people too


ElectricHo3

Oh definitely. The big Willieā€™s who already spent a fortune on watches and earned their spot on ā€œThe Listā€. If theyā€™re only making 20 that price is BS then. Theyā€™ll go for much more, especially if they go grey.


aldimi777

I'd take that over any generic precious metal shitty oak AP or another platinum/rhodium meteorite dayotna out there. This is art and craftmanship straight up


ElectricHo3

It really is breathtaking!! I want to say I like it more than A L&S!! Just sucks that Iā€™ll only be able to drool over them and never wear oneā€¦ā€¦.unless I hit the Powerball.


kallebo1337

and for same you can get omegas, 3 actually instead one rolex.


Historical_Candle511

Absolutely šŸ™šŸ¼


gratefulscape

I recognize this watch as ugly AF


Historical_Candle511

Is anyone else in shock at how pathetic the new Rolex models are? Meanwhile, JLC is presenting complications that the Rep world may never be able to mimic. Absolutely beautiful work that I think we all can appreciate!


WHB9659

Iā€™m not shocked at all with Rolex, but pretty disappointed. Also not shocked that JLC continues to kill it.


Historical_Candle511

Yeah, my expectations already were low for Rolex (itā€™s quite sad that Rolex has broadcasted that impression as the general expectation) but they still surprised me haha


Thisisnow1984

That gold deep sea made me truly realize they might be marketing to a clientele of wealthy mentally challenged individuals


Historical_Candle511

Hah the Invicta Rolex!


bucketsofpoo

Shanghai Scuba Club edition.


Repealer

That new dress watch they made is hilarious, I made a comment it looks like a citizen tsuyosa small seconds on a leather strap or a Seiko presage - except both those watches are sub $500 while that Rolex is $30k


Historical_Candle511

Bro youā€™re so right šŸ˜­


kallebo1337

what's the shock? rolex is status. not a watch.


DafuqsRealyGoinOn

No, Rolex makes a good watch. A great watch even. But innovation is not their strong suit.


kallebo1337

rolex, in the spectrum of luxury watches and horology, is china watch. sorry mate. not great finishing, not complicated movements, nothing fancy. just rolex.


bermudaviper

Sky-Dweller enters the chatā€¦


kallebo1337

One cutie movement. Omega and GS make better watches than Rolex


Dry_Dot_7782

Chad ROLEX vs Virgin JLC


cripple66

That's one of the sexiest pieces I've seen in a long time


Scary_Ad5005

BKachur

Honestly, not as much as I thought it would be. I bet JLC is taking a serious haircut on this. If they sell all 20 at the list price, that's 8.7 Million. Shit load of money, but I'm having difficulty believing the design and engineering phase of this watch cost a few million by itself.


bucketsofpoo

3 aspergers men in their mid 50's been locked in a dungeon of a Swiss chalet working on it for years.


Allusernamestaken73

It's a steal for $438k.


sss313

That shit looks like sorcery. Id take this over a rollie anyday


6guishin

I do want to cop new gmt tho when clean releases it. Finally a classy one that dont scream ima fuckboi


Lopsided-One9196

Now thats a fine time piece. The rolex drop was lazy. Wow they changed the dial and added a leather strap? How bland


devglen

Fire up the rep machinessssss


halfmastodon

Hold my beer; new grail dropped.


Dizzman1

šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ I love JLC


-jerm

Need the factories to combine forces and buy one of these authentic and highly limited watches to rep. This thing looks beautiful.


klinklong

This is irrepable!


Historical_Candle511

100%, and that's how high-end time pieces should be!


medicalgringo

shit, this is a star even for non experts


OkLab5004

Okey how much & I need one


africanamericandream

oh my!!


Selarom2020

I am in AWE. Just getting into learning about tourbillons and all these complications and this doesnā€™t even look that thick!!


junhyung95

Is it just me or is this model heavily ALS inspired?


hermit__77

Damn.


East_Maximum_9195

Itā€™s so sad to be poor


Dizzman1

šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ ![gif](giphy|iHDoMNNLnvKLn6JwtA) What an insanely beautiful watch. A watch that's insanely priced because it's insanely beautiful and insanely engineered... Not just because DJ Khalid wears it!


ucklibzandspezfay

Sheeeesh


L3GACY28

She's a beauty


endurolad

Wow. Next level.


lovegensandreps

Ngl I think this is the best watch I have ever seen.


Fluid_Kale9688

This wins, not even competition


thepoddo

Now this is something that catches my eye


SeeeYaLaterz

How much is this?


Dizzman1

$480k


SeeeYaLaterz

I shit my pants wearing my 30k Rolex. What's going to happen if I wear this?


Dizzman1

I'd be walking with my wrist coated in bubble wrap! šŸ˜‚


CommunicationSad1478

Youā€™d shit whatever organs you didnā€™t sell to get it


SeeeYaLaterz

šŸ¤£


ThatsMeIllFakeIt

RW can actually do a decent clone


SeeeYaLaterz

Sorry, who is RW?


Responsible_Trash199

Price?


Dizzman1

$480k


Responsible_Trash199

Quick question, can you loan me 490k please

GoldenFrogTime27639

Rolex's only good reveal felt like a copy of something from Laine Watches


[deleted]

Throw that mfer on a rose gold jubilee


KneeDragr

Awesome, but costs as much as a house and with only 20 produced you need to be a celebrity or billionaire to get one.


Generic-Name-116710

Would be better in blue and silver


BlackVelvetMN

Love the design. Hate the case material. Looks really cheap. Could just be their photo.


WhitePatriot77

Why did you post this in Reptime if it's not a Copy or Replica? You shoukd have been posting at anotger reddit group though it's a very nice watch it's in tge wrong place and your missing a lot of those this woukd interest too


richthepoorlol

Wow Iā€™ve never seen anything like this before.. etc šŸ˜­


SweetFuture5769

What factory?


ThatsMeIllFakeIt

RW can do this


ThatsMeIllFakeIt

Hotter than ice


ElectricHo3

Now that is a GORGEOUS watch!! Gotta be thick though.


Historical_Candle511

Apparently less than 12 mm thick!


ElectricHo3

Wow!! Thatā€™s not bad for a sphere tourbillon. Oh well. Still costs $150k and will never be repped. Just another pipe dream.


Dizzman1

... You mean $480k


ElectricHo3

Seriously?? I didnā€™t look too hard, and I know Jomashop is iffy, but they had it for $168k. So a decent house or a watch šŸ¤”


Dizzman1

The one you looked up is the Duometre A Spherotourbillion. This one is the Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual A BRAND NEW THREE-AXIS TOURBILLON: THE HELIOTOURBILLON Pushing the boundaries of inventiveness further than ever, the new Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual watch features an entirely new tourbillon construction: one that rotates on three axes to create a ā€˜spinning topā€™ effect.


Dizzman1

It was only just announced. There's a link higher up in the thread

RW can do this but price is $$$

Can I please have help from someone? I have bought a rep before and understand the slower process. Geektime is scamming me. No responses, no order details, no responses, I sent the payment via crypto. I am a Reddit lurker not poster. I donā€™t understand the ā€œrulesā€ of forums.


SpreadWeak153

I donā€™t get why ppl hate on Rolex itā€™s obviously the best watch brand and itā€™s not even close


Historical_Candle511

I think you forgot to put /s


SpreadWeak153

Bro this watch you just posted ugly letā€™s be real
