Continuation of the GP Tourbillon with three bridges adventure.

May 27, 2023,09:10 AM
 

Dear watch friends, thank you for your intense sympathy and great tips on my previous thread about „my“ beautiful grail watch Tourbillon with three bridges Bucherer Blue that is waiting for me.

I had the opportunity yesterday to take a first look at this marvel. Another appointment with the watchmaker is scheduled for next week. Here are a few first impressions. According to my information, these 18 pieces are being produced continuously.

"My" good piece is likely to be the second watch produced in this series.






















We didn’t remove the plastic from the backside.





Thanks for looking, my dear watch friends. 🙏☺️

Thomas

It looks good on your wrist!

I like the more subtle blue on the bridges vs bright electric of some of the press photos.

Thank you so much.

 
 By: MTR : May 27th, 2023-16:53
The blue of the bridges is for me much better than on the marketing photos. As you say: much more subtle…

Gorgeous watch 💙

The blue a bit mute vs the photos. Do you 💙 it ? Think about it, imagine it on your wrist, don't want to give it back after trying it ? Christian

I have been there today, again.

And talking to a very nice and competent “Mrs. watch maker”. It was a pleasure, and I learned some new things about this watch and how to treat the Tourbillon best. It felt GREAT on my wrist. 🙏🙏🙏 OMG…. Thanks a lot Christian for your important and very he... 

15.52mm

It’s a grade 5 titanium case (brushed and polished) with 44mm diameter x 15.52mm height.

Noted thanks. Quite big and thick

And what’s the MSRP?

I find the size perfect for my wrist.

 
 By: MTR : May 28th, 2023-10:55
Since the price can also be found on the website (and Fabrizio has mentioned it, too, I can say it here: Euro 167K.

Size seems good for your wrist.

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : May 28th, 2023-12:05
Price … omg.

I am already

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-08:07
thinking about departing from some watches that I haven't worn in a while…. 🙏

Yes.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:43
These are the candidates: Just thinking about letting all or one these good pieces go and if the sacrifice is not too great… 🙏 ...  

Just an idea.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-21:22
I always wear my watches. And this GP I love truly. I think it won’t be hidden in a vault. My collection has slowly grown again. To a quantity that I can no longer “handle”. So I think I could do the same I have done a few years ago. Reducing my collectio... 

All my watches have character for me. ☺️

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-21:26
To sell the Moser or Hublot would be no “problem” for you?

Hahahahahaha

 
 By: MTR : May 30th, 2023-06:30

;)

Let’s see what I will do at the end of the day.

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-11:51
The problem: every single separation hurts me, none is easy for me. But there may be a big purchase coming up. And at the same time, my watch collection has grown far too much. I just have a few watches that I wear much more often when observing realistic... 

I'm wearing it right now.

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-11:49
Perhaps as farewell… Cheers Thomas ...  

When I see this picture

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-20:54
… maybe I should keep it after all…?

Yep, I do think so.

 
 By: amanico : June 3rd, 2023-21:42

Thanks a lot for watching, Dirk.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:46
I also think that this is a really special piece.

Very nice, the Blancpain as well!

 
 By: Ted O : May 27th, 2023-15:07
Makes me really want a skeleton

I didn’t see any of my hairs.

 
 By: MTR : May 27th, 2023-16:59
I thought this would be a problem with this skeletonized dial. But this was a mistake. Cheers Thomas ...  

That is a good catch

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 27th, 2023-15:43
Stunning watch. A peace that nest simply in my memory. What is so nice, is the case shape. I know that cone shape is very comfortable on the wrist. Not only the fit, it looks just the way i think it tick all boxes. Two flies in one hit for GP, extraordina... 

Thanks a lot, dear Weems@8!

 
 By: MTR : May 27th, 2023-17:01
That’s also MY problem, that I want this watch so much. 🙏 And you are right. It’s a stunning piece of art. The case. The movement. The skeletonized dial. The colors. The strap.

If you can afford the GP

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 27th, 2023-20:49
You must do it. You know the watch, because you try it on at Bucherer. The case looks like the shape FC use for the slimline. Mine sits really good. ...  

I could afford it.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:48
But the high cost still inhibits me. Perhaps I will sell some other watches to get a better feeling. P.S.: Your FC looks great!

I never sell

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 29th, 2023-18:23
Albeit i must confess, i thought about it. But what shall it give? Satisfaction? Regret? So better to expand if selling gives unsure feelings. But that is for every collector different.

Gorgeous design.

 
 By: InHavenPro : May 27th, 2023-16:30
Thanks for the quality images! Much enjoyment with it, cheers, Filip

Thanks a lot, Filip!

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:44
Until now it’s just the enjoyment to play with the idea…

Some more pictures from today…. 🙏

 
 By: MTR : May 27th, 2023-16:51
I am completely in love with this watch… I will have some sleepless nights now. Thanks for watching 🙏 Thomas ...  

💙nicer on these photos !

 
 By: christianch : May 27th, 2023-23:18
what a watch !! A masterpiece! I love that is also skeletonised, is like floating. 👏

Stunning beyond description.

 
 By: gpinto75 : May 27th, 2023-17:14
Congratulations, Thomas. Truly breathtaking choice.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:51
At the moment it is just the choice, but not yet the acquisition.

That is such an awesome watch! Really great catch!

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : May 27th, 2023-17:51
I fell in love with a skeletonized watch too, can totally relate! Cheers, Alex

Looks like it belongs on your wrist 😉👌🏻

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : May 27th, 2023-18:49
A amazing GP . Thanks for sharing

An amazing piece of art…

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-17:52
Yes, it almost sticked on my wrist. 🤣

Perhaps. ☺️ 🙏

 
 By: MTR : May 28th, 2023-10:58
I'm very busy with my job next week, but next Friday I'm going to have lunch with my „sales friend“ and perhaps also the managing director of Bucherer. There we will see.

And the result is not 100% certain for me either.

 
 By: MTR : May 29th, 2023-08:03
Although I'm already very much inclined to... 😁

Auto Teaser!

 
 By: amanico : May 29th, 2023-08:07

Continuation of the (as you call it) „auto teaser“…

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-10:02
I have made my decision. ☺️

Next Wednesday.

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-11:52
At least for a third inspection. 😁

+1

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-13:02
Life is a flow and constant change.

;)

 
 By: amanico : June 3rd, 2023-20:08

Hopefully. 🤣

 
 By: MTR : June 3rd, 2023-20:52

:)

 
 By: amanico : June 3rd, 2023-21:42

It will happen,

 
 By: MTR : June 7th, 2023-17:01
And that's a good thing.

Champagne!!!

 
 By: amanico : June 7th, 2023-21:14

☺️🙏

 
 By: MTR : June 8th, 2023-03:53
Next week Wednesday is the handover. I'll open an separate thread for that. A few of my watches are sold at the same time. A breakup hurts... a little bit. But de facto a small sacrifice compared to the great joy about my new addition.

Above all,

 
 By: MTR : June 8th, 2023-07:18
I have to thank YOU for your expertise, which was one of the reasons that led me to this watch. And your friendly and humorous support. 🙏

Just the truth!

 
 By: MTR : June 8th, 2023-08:18

You fear right

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-12:15
but I just want to make the price of the GP more … bearable for me. I plan to make around Euro 35,000 to 50,000 by selling watches from my collection. I thought for a few days, looked into myself and asked myself at which watches I like to wear again and ...  

I felt the same way, enjoyed the JC but was not necessary

 
 By: Ted O : June 9th, 2023-12:25
Looks like you kept the recent Hublot acquisition and expect more wrist time?

Yes, I will keep the Hublot.

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-16:11
I can't bring myself to sell it. 1. It looks amazing in that monochrome look, 2. it's great to wear, especially in the summer with that special rubber strap, 3. it's very reliable and accurate, and it's 4. a limited-edition piece that I can't get that eas... 

It’s great looking model that Hublot

 
 By: Ted O : June 9th, 2023-17:25
I really don’t understand why they drop 40-50% automatically

It’s simply the market.

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-21:16
And there’s definitely no logic behind. They told me that the majority of the people who enter the shop ask for Rolex models.

The final deal will be made next Wednesday.

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-12:03
I am planning to part with the following watches: 🙏 ...  

It’s not poor.

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-21:07
It will find somebody who wears it more often. ☺️

I already have a buyer,

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-21:15
but if you want it… I know how much you like this model.

Hahahaha

 
 By: MTR : June 9th, 2023-21:24
Excellent answer. I will remember this phrase for my own use.

:)))

 
 By: amanico : June 9th, 2023-21:25

Thank you, dear Geross. 🙏☺️

 
 By: MTR : May 28th, 2023-17:10
Yet it is not so far. I am still in the … process of approach… 😁

Outstanding piece...

 
 By: pfang56 : May 28th, 2023-23:01
Mind blown. I don't know if I would be able to sleep after wearing that! Cheers Peter
