A grail? A grail without quest sign.
A general note.
For everybody, cause Kevin bring me to the idea.
Is our collection a destination to end up with a watch with a tourbillon?
To start with myself, yes, i think i want to ad a tourbillon ones i find the right one.
I am very selective, so i can take a half century to the one i want.
To make it easier, this is the peace i go for, Vacheron Constantin Overseas tourbillon.
In my humble opinion, i like the way Vacheron designed their tourbillons.
Kevin, you’ve got a fine tourbillon, and i guess you post the first Aesop here at Purist Pro.

Glad you liked it
I honestly wouldn’t have bought this 10/15 years ago but these Chinese Tourbillons have gotten better over the last 5+ years. I’m hoping one day to add a Swiss or German Tourbilllon and even a Minute Repeater but I’m not holding my breath.
Are you just dipping your toes into tourbillons?
I have a Sugess tourbillon (near clone of a Seagull 818.901), and I got a Seagull ST8004 (for ~3k) to replace it since the finishing quality on the Sugess left something to be desired (case, clasp, and dial are all a little rough). I will see if the genuine Seagull lives up to its much higher price when I get it. I figured 600 bucks for the Sugess was expendable for the purpose of seeing how much I would enjoy wearing a tourbillon watch with a rather busy dial (turns out, I like it quite a bit!).
IIRC based on Youtube reviews, the Aesops are noticeably worse than the Sugess (and other Seagull knockoffs), with a lot more dirt and flaws, and you're only saving like 200 bucks. I personally would go up to the 800-1k price point for Chinese watches to get slightly better quality stuff. There's no point buying jewelry that triggers my OCD, though I'm keeping my old cheap watches for sentimental reasons.

Yes it is
I think for now what I paid , it fill in that void for me. But that doesn’t mean I won’t get something more expensive down the road? I just don’t know?
