Adjust expectations accordingly
THE WATCH IN THE PICTURE IS NOT THE WATCH SHIPPED.And the update? The second hand has decided to disconnect completely and has taken to simply flopping around in the case. Review reduces to 1 star appropriately. I didn't even wear it before the second hand jumped off.Let's begin with a reality check here. You've seen the price, at that price you can't expect much, especially when you consider that Tourbillon watches generally have prices at least a couple digits longer.First, not a Tourbillon. It has an exposed balance wheel, but not a Tourbillon. A Tourbillon requires extra complication with the entire balance wheel apparatus rotating in a circle to equalize the effects of gravity. The exposed balance wheel is very attractive at this price point. The picture shows dial demarcations for a Tourbillon, but the shipped version lacks the complication, and also lacks the evidence on the dial.Not a chronometer. Others have commented about it not doing a good job keeping time, losing/gaining several minutes a day, these are generally correct. There is no stamp saying the balance wheel was adjusted, and it probably was only adjusted in one position, the minimum in order to make it work.The balance wheel has a narrow rotation. Most high accuracy chronometers the balance wheel rotates in excess of 300 degrees. This balance wheel looks to rotate around 90 degrees. As a result the movement probably is not capable of being calibrated to chronometer accuracy anyway.It is an automatic. That means that as you wear it, it winds itself. If you take it off, then the winding stops.It has a small power reserve. The power reserve is how long a watch will run without winding (or in this case self-winding as you wear it), this seems to be only a few hours, it will often die overnight.Time is easily set. The crown is stiff and assertive when pulled out to set the time. My fingers cleanly and firmly grasp the crown.The chronograph complication (stopwatch) isn't. While the watch has the buttons for chronograph function, the chronograph function itself does not appear to work in any perceivable way. Pressing the reset button did move one of the subdials some amount, but did not perform anything resembling a reset.Now the looks.The face shown in the picture is black, the shipped one is blue. As much as that is not what I ordered, I actually rather like the blue finish.The "Gold" looks more brass, or copper to me. The picture shows fairly accurately the color.The finish that isn't. The picture shows a polish finish to the cage. The shipped version is more satin finish. There is also a finish contrast between the majority of the cage (stainless steel) and the upper ring (copper/gold). The steel is a much higher polish. To me this actually makes the copper ring pop a lot more than the picture which just looks uniform shiny.The strap. The picture is largely correct, it looks like stamped leather, the shipped product is stamped leather. The strap quality looks low in the picture, the shipped product strap is low quality. The picture looks (poorly) hand stitched, the shipped product is clearly machine stitched. The stamp alignment changes substantially from picture to product. The picture has an interesting 3 part to 2 part stamp change near the cage, the shipped version has a simpler 2 part stamp, and on the clasp side of the strap it looks like the stamp was misaligned. It isn't ugly, but it is not a high quality strap.Overall, the product shipped looks better to my eye than the picture, but the complete lack of the Tourbillon complication that is the reason I originally bought this one really ruins the experience.In short it is definitely not a high end watch, but at this price you shouldn't expect one. I've switched my review between two and three stars repeatedly while I've been writing this. I've decided to leave it at 3 because I am keeping the watch.

Petty POS
It worked for 2 months, and then stopped. It was kept in a charger whenever it was not being worn. It did not get submerged in water or banged up at all. It just stopped.

I left a detailed review already on this watch this is the second one I purchased just to have and I will be getting more while they're available, I've never gotten more compkimwnta, as I said before I've owned $5000 watches and I would have gotten this watch before any of the expensive ones I've owned if I had come across these before, these could easily sell for $1,200 I'm shocked that they arent! Thii is a beautifully crafted watch even though they're mass produced I haven't really seen anyone with one Wich is also shocking!!! If people new how nice these were they would think twice but because people want t to pay for the name they don't care if the product sucks as long as it says ROLEX IT IS AUTOMATICALLY A NICE PIECE, , WICH IS RIDICULOUS , IF THIS WATCH LASTS A YEAR AND KEEPS GOING THEN I WILL BE CONVINCED THAT THEYRE BETTER THAN MOST TYW EXPENSIVER WATCHES OUT THERE!!! MIND BLOWING!!!THANK YOU!!
