    I’m waffling on it. Part of it is choosing between 3 diff watches I want, the other is that I’m waiting until we get back from our vacation to order so I am here to receive it.

    Every morning I decide on a diff purchase and talk myself into/out of a diff purchase by the end of the day.

    I’m a mess. All up in my head.

    A Tourbillon is something extremely special. Something rarer than a diamond. It says to the World, "Treat me with respect". It says, "I am an important man." It says, "I’m not your average Joe".

    If They Think You Paid $100,000+ Why Correct Them?
    One singular watch takes 30 skilled technicians six entire months to produce. There are 4500 individual manufacturing steps. There are 155 intricate parts made from 18 different metals in the movement alone. The Legacy Tourbillon; NOT an ordinary high-end watch.

    It's called the "super car of watches". A Bugatti... A Koenigsegg... A Rolls Royce. Beyond Ferrari. Beyond Lamborghini. A watch with a tourbillon movement makes a BIG statement. It says you're wearing something expensive.

    Only one type of man wears a tourbillon. A successful man. You may or may not have 5 or 10 million sitting in the bank. In the past, unless you had that kind of money, owning a tourbillon was out of the question.

    When another watch connoisseur glances down at your wrist and sees the rotating tourbillon cage... he'll gasp. It's not every day you see a real tourbillon! If he wants to think it's a $118,000 ... why correct him?

    What Is A Tourbillon And Why Do Celebrities, Captains Of Industry, And The World’s Elite Pay $100,000+ For This Type Of Watch?
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $799,000

    Put a Tourbillon movement on any watch and the price explodes to 6 figures or more. A lot of it has to do with the intricate movement (which we’ll go over later) but the biggest reason is the instant HIGHER status it gives you with your clients, coworkers, and people in social settings.

    Anyone can buy a Rolex and they are as common as tennis shoes. But a sophisticated time piece with a Tourbillon movement? That’s a different league. That is reserved for the BOSS of bosses.

    When you strap on your Tourbillon and walk into a nice restaurant in the city, jaws will drop and respect will be earned. Why? A Tourbillon is something extremely special. Something rarer than a diamond. It says to the World, "Treat me with respect". It says, "I am an important man." It says, "I’m not your average Joe".

    Why Are Tourbillons So Rare, Exclusive, and Expensive To Make?
    [​IMG]
    If a watchmaker decides to get into the tourbillon business, he's in for a surprise! First of all, he's going to need over a million dollars just for special machinery like the Willemin 5-Axis CNC. This is the machine that transforms precious metals into the cases, bezels, fasteners, and dials of your tourbillon watch.

    [​IMG]
    And then, not just any watchmaker can make a tourbillon. It takes a specially trained watch master.

    And these "prima-donnas" demand fat salaries. When you consider a tourbillon movement takes six months of production... labor costs are through the roof. It takes 30 specially skilled technicians six long months to make just one watch.

    This is not mere watch-making. It’s an art form. Most people will never get to try on, let alone own, a tourbillon- even if they’re very wealthy.

    Factor in the machines, the factory, the staff... then add another million or so in engineering to develop an in-house movement. You can see how watchmakers come up to $50,000+ for a tourbillon. How else would they recoup their deep 7-figure investment? They can’t without charging a huge premium. And it’s meant to be that way because NOTHING about a tourbillon watch is supposed to be “affordable” or “normal” or “accessible”.

    The Tourbillon Is An Engineering Marvel That Will Be The Topic Of Conversation Everywhere You Go.
    [​IMG]
    The word "tourbillon" is a French term which means "whirlwind." If you take one close look at a tourbillon watch in action, then the name makes perfect sense. It has a mesmerizing spiral motion that can be quite hypnotic.

    Watchmakers face many challenges when regulating a watch. One is regulating the effect that gravity plays in the movement. A tourbillon acts as a way to counter the drag effect that gravity plays. Especially on smaller components in a watch's escapement when held in certain positions.

    [​IMG]
    A tourbillon places critical parts of the watch’s mechanics into a rotating cage; the balance wheel and escapement to be specific. The tourbillon will rotate this cage at the rate of 1 round per minute. In our watch pictured above the cage acts as the "seconds" hand. This rotating cage counteracts the adverse effects gravity creates.

    Is a tourbillon watch more accurate? Not necessarily. If you want "atomic clock" accuracy down to a fraction of a second, read your phone. A tourbillon is a complicated movement that's the king of watch movements. Something that shows the guy next to you, you’re the boss. The same way pulling up in a Rolls Royce says, I'm the man in charge.

    So, You Want A Tourbillon Watch And All The Respect, Opportunity, And Admiration That Comes With Owning The Best Of The Best?
    [​IMG]
    Of course, you do! Who wouldn’t want something unique, special and ultra-exclusive? But keep in mind, wearing a Tourbillon watch is not for the meek. This is the Alpha of all luxury watches. If you don’t like people whispering about you like you’re a celebrity or gorgeous women coming to you, striking up a conversation…this is not your type of watch.

    But if you are a man on the rise and want to show the world you’ve made it-the Tourbillon is the ONLY way to go.

    The only challenge is you’re going to be investing $50,000, $100,000, possibly even $1,000,000 dollars to get your hands on one.

    Don’t Want To Invest Six Or Seven Figures Into A Watch?
    Now you don’t have to!

    If you have a little patience (more on that later) you’re going to get a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Legacy Tourbillon for less money than you spent on your cell phone bill for the year.

    Do you realize how inexpensive that is for a luxury watch…let alone a Tourbillon? Even an entry level Rolex will cost you over $12,000 and it doesn’t even have a Tourbillon. A lower end Breitling Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon cost $90,000.

    Forbes Magazine reported it best. "The average price of a Swiss watch with a tourbillon complication contained inside of it is $50,000 - $100,000. That price frequently goes even higher."

    Is It A Real Tourbillon?
    [​IMG]
    When you hear the shockingly low price... a shrewd watch collector would ask, "Is it a genuine tourbillon movement?" And the answer is a resounding YES and the certified gemologist appraisal that comes with each watch proves just that.

    Not only is it a real tourbillon... it's a FLYING tourbillon. What's the difference? Well, standard tourbillons are great, but they have two bridges that hold the cage in place. One on the top "dial" side. One on the backside.

    For some (myself included) the dial side bridge is obtrusive. Instead, our "flying" movement has just one bridge hidden on the backside that is cantilevered. You end up seeing the balance wheel and the rotating cage in its full glory. This rotating cage is what makes tourbillons so mesmerizing to watch.

    This is the same type of Tourbillon Baume & Mercier uses in their 1892 Flying Tourbillon that’s priced at $57,500, which is considered on the lower end.

    Is The Legacy Tourbillon Really Like The $100,000+ Watch?
    [​IMG]
    SPECIFICATIONS: 42mm Case

    19-Jewel Movement Manual Wind - 28,800 Vibrations Per Hour - Exhibition Back (Sapphire Crystal) 40-Hour Power Reserve - Limited Edition

    Regarding the functionality of the tourbillons... they are identical. So let's be candid- what's the major differences between this watch and the other six or seven figure watches?

    First, most $100,000+ watches, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Tourbillon pictured next to a Legacy Tourbillon below, use a precious metal case (platinum).

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    When you look at the picture above do you think the platinum case is worth $103,000 more? Of course not, you can’t even tell. On top of that, precious metals are soft and fragile. They pick up nicks and scratches very easily.

    The Legacy Tourbillon uses stainless steel. Besides that, everything else is virtually the same.

    [​IMG]
    • The same type of machines that are making $100,000 watches make the Legacy Tourbillon
    • The same type of skilled watchmakers that assemble the $100,000 watch assemble your watch so you’re getting top quality that you can pass down as an heirloom
    • The same type of porcelain used on the $100,000 watch dial also gets used on our dial
    • The same type of scratch-proof sapphire crystal is used just like on a $100,000 Tourbillon. The only thing harder than the crystal face is a diamond. Not only does the front have a sapphire crystal, but the back does as well. This is called an Exhibition Back. This shows off the Perlage finish we apply to the movement, just like the $100,000 watchmakers. It’s an absolute shows topper!
    Where Is The Legacy Tourbillon Made?
    [​IMG]
    The Legacy Tourbillon is made in the historic town of Hunsrück, Germany. We choose Germany for several reasons. First, quality. There’s a reason why the finest luxury cars like Mercedes, Porsche , Audi etc. are made in Germany. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none. Second, Germany is where Alfred Helwig invented the "flying" tourbillon in 1920. That is the same type of movement used in your Legacy Tourbillon and many other watches costing $100,000+.

    10 Reasons Why You Need To Wear A Luxury Watch Like Our Legacy Tourbillon.
    [​IMG]
    Forbes Says: "Luxury’s love affair with the tourbillon resulted in consumers identifying the tourbillon with one key concept, “expensive.” While many people wanted a tourbillon because it was fun to watch. More wanted a tourbillon because it told people they were wearing something expensive."

    Reason #1: Watches Create Opportunity! People will react more favorably to you when you are wearing a nice looking watch. It changes the way people see you. If you wear a Legacy, it says, "I'm someone special and treat me accordingly!"

    Reason #2: Women Like Watches. But not just any watch. LUXURY WATCHES. They like men who wear expensive watches. They find successful men attractive. Sometimes irresistible. I don't care what part of the world you're in. A tourbillon on your wrist says, "I'm a successful man."

    Reason #3: For Investment Reasons. This is a very important reason. Buying the right quality watch usually means that the value of your investment is safe. In some cases, these kind of luxury watches will gain value over time, sometimes even more than stocks. The Legacy Tourbillon is already worth 5X what you paid for it. Where else can you find that value for your money?

    Reason #4: Watches Enhance Your Style. Whether it's your outfit or look, luxury watches will enhance it. Short sleeve or long, you'll look sharper with a tourbillon on your wrist.

    Reason #5: Get You More Respect. Try it during your next important business meeting. See what effect wearing our Legacy Tourbillon has on the outcome of your next meeting!

    Reason #6: Watch Collecting Is A Great Hobby. From lower end watches to the more expensive high end models, collecting watches is a lot of fun. I collect 3-figure G-Shocks and 5-figure watches. The Legacy Tourbillon is a 5-figure watch that looks and performs as a 6-figure watch. Now you can add a Tourbillon to your collection without having to invest $50,000+.

    Reason #7: Watches Are Great Topics Of Conversation. Try it during your next party or social event! Wear the Legacy Tourbillon and observe as people want to know more about your tourbillon.

    Reason #8: Watches Will Make You More Money. They are deal closers. Plain and simple. People like to give money to people they view as successful. That’s the way the world works. A rotating tourbillon cage strapped to your wrist tells the world, "Getting with me is a great idea." If you want more people to say YES... wear a luxury watch.

    Reason #9: Luxury Watches Are Status Symbols. Want to go hard in the wrist game? A tourbillon is the G.O.A.T. Problem is, before us, tourbillons cost a fortune. $50,000 to $100,000 and more. We'll help you dominate the wrist game with our Helwig tourbillon

    Reason #10: A Wristwatch Is Art On Your Wrist. The more you get into watch collecting, the more you'll appreciate the art of horology. And nothing says high-end art like a tourbillon cage rotating 360-degrees every minute.

    You Can FINALLY Own The "BEST" Of Something.
    [​IMG]
    Life is full of compromises. We settle. Do you own the best house? Probably not. I don't. Do you drive the best car? Sure, it's OK... but it's not "the best" car. How about your spouse? Do you have the best spouse? I do. (She proofreads my copy).

    But all joking aside... wouldn't it be nice to really have the BEST watch? The best watch would cost $100,000 and more, but not today. Today, you can get your own Legacy Tourbillon. Not for $100,000... but just $1,997.

    That’s $8,000 under appraised value and $100,000 less than other Tourbillons that look and operate in the same type of way.

    Skyrocket Your Confidence In 1Day.
    [​IMG]
    All it's going to take is a quick glance at your wrist and you'll feel it. A sudden surge of unbridled confidence. After all, you're wearing a tourbillon! And what does added confidence translate to, other than feeling very good? Well, added confidence equals more money.

    Have you read the 1967 book "Grow Rich With Piece Of Mind" by Napoleon Hill?

    Do you remember the story of the superstar salesman who wore the large diamond ring? Well, one week his ring was at the jeweler getting a new setting. All week the salesman was without his diamond pinky ring. He was perplexed when Friday came around why his sales that week were so low.

    The next week when his ring was back on his finger, his sales went back to their stratospheric level. You don't need to wear a 10ct pinky ring. You can wear the Legacy Tourbillon. If you're in sales, this watch can make you far more than the $1,997 you'll pay.

    "Fall All Over You" Respect Guaranteed
    [​IMG]
    The Legacy Tourbillon has a full Exhibition Back. It shows off the Perlage finish we apply to the movement-just like the $100,000 watchmakers.

    Want to communicate wealth and status to the public by owning a tourbillon? Wear our tourbillon. People just plain ol' treat you better when they think you're successful. Waiters. Bartenders. WOMEN. And who doesn't want to be treated better? Who doesn't want to be more respected? Or seen as more attractive to the opposite sex? It's amazing what wearing an expensive watch can do for you.

    When you get your watch... put it to the test and be amazed. Stroll into the local Rolex store. Watch what happens. If the person behind the counter knows his stuff... he'll fall all over you. As soon as someone sees the rotating tourbillon cage... they think it's a $100,000 watch. On business trips... you'll be the talk of the convention. When people ask what the watch cost, kindly say, "I'd rather not say." As if you don't want to be a braggart.

    William from Las Vegas writes: “A few weeks ago, the craziest thing happened to me. I was wearing my Legacy Tourbillon at a fundraiser. A very wealthy man wearing a $75,000 Patek pointed to my watch. He said, "That's the most beautiful watch I've ever seen." He then asked how much it cost. Not wanting to say $1,997, or even $10,000,I asked him “How much do you think it cost?” He responded, "Give me a hint. Is it more or less than $100,000?" And this was a guy with a $75,000 Patek. It wasn't the guy at the car wash asking. I told him, "Under $100,000 and let's leave it at that." When guys see the tourbillon cage... they automatically think $100,000+.”

    The Ultimate Equalizer.
    [​IMG]
    You’re in a room with fiveother men. Some are taller than you. Some are betterlooking than you. Some have more hair. One thing for sure is, none of them will be wearing a tourbillon. I can guarantee it. If you're looking to stand out from the crowd- the Legacy Tourbillon is the ultimate equalizer. In fact, it can level the playing field and actually tilt it in your favor!

    Make Social Media Followers Admire You.
    [​IMG]
    It's been decades since you've graduated HighSchool and college. Several former classmates follow you on Facebook. Old frat friends. Your one buddy makes bank and he sure shows it. Every post... his fancy car. His fancy house. His fancy trips abroad. You? You didn't go anywhere last summer.

    Want to give it back to them? Give them a little taste of their own medicine? Snap a few pics of your Legacy Tourbillon and post them. A tourbillon impresses the same way an exotic car or overseas trip impresses. Caption your post with something like, "Wearing my Legacy Tourbillon... and I'm still late!"

    What’s The Investment To Own A Legacy Tourbillon?
    [​IMG]
    A lot less than you’d imagine considering people are paying right now 6 and even 7 figures for a tourbillon…

    [​IMG]Retail Price: $799,000
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $309,000
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $345,000
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $2,600,000
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $303,000
    [​IMG]Retail Price: $112,000
    On top of that, owning the Tourbillon is not a cost. It’s an investment…especially the Legacy Tourbillon.

    Let me explain…

    The Legacy Tourbillon is appraised at $11,999 by the Gemologists Appraisal Laboratory Of America… the same laboratory that appraises $700,000 Richard Mille Watches or 1 million dollar Diamonds. This is not Joe the jeweler from the Bronx valuing this…the Gemological Laboratory of America,the jewelry appraiser service all major insurance companies like Allstate®, State Farm®, and Geico® use to insure jewelry, is valuing this.

    [​IMG]
    If you wanted to buy this watch from us retail, you would be expected to pay that price of $11,999, which is a HUGE bargain when compared to other Tourbillons.

    However, today I’m not going ask you to invest $11,999.

    If fact, if you don’t mind waiting 45 days, we’ll give you the opportunity to steal an original Legacy Tourbillon for just $1,997 with only an out of pocket investment of $197 today!

    That’s A Real Savings Of $10,003 Off Appraised Value!
    [​IMG]
    This means the minute you take it out of the box it’s appraised 600% more than what we’re asking. It’s like going to an ATM and depositing $100 into your account and getting back $600.

    I bet I know what you’re thinking…sounds too good to be true.

    So What’s The Catch?!
    Why would we offer you the $11,999 Legacy Tourbillon for ONLY $1,997?

    Here’s the secret, watchmakers do have downtime. Downtime when their million-dollar machines are sitting idle. Downtime when their 30 specially skilled technicians are twiddling their thumbs and sipping espresso. We were able to contract a large tourbillon maker to make our watches in their "remnant" downtime.

    They even let us use their movement- with their brand name removed of course. That alone saves us a million dollars.

    They already own the machines and pay the staff... it's a no-brainer for them. We reap the benefits of their machinery investment, their engineers, and their workforce. We're able to make a tourbillon for a fraction of the usual cost.

    Since we do not have to invest $1 Million in machines like the Willemin 5-Axis... and since we don't have to pay the salaries of 30 superstar tourbillon makers... we pass the savings over to you.

    The only catch is you have to wait 45 days to get it so we can make it on their downtime.

    If you’re willing to have a little patience and wait (45 days is going to pass anyway) you can own a Legacy Tourbillon for $10,000 less than other people would have to pay for it in a store.

    Bets of all…

    TODAY You Only Have To Invest $197 To Reserve Your $11,999 Legacy Tourbillon
    Since you’ll have to wait 45 days to get your watch we don’t expect you to pay up front for it like most manufacturers require. Instead all we are asking for today a non refundable deposit of just $197 that will reserve your watch.

    After your watch is ready to be shipped, we’ll send you an invoice and you can expect to have it delivered in just two business days.

    Inside your package will be our original Legacy Tourbillon with a serial number registered to you and an appraisal in the amount of $11,999 you can give your insurance company.

    Everything is straight forward.

    • Today you make a nonrefundable deposit of just $197 .
    • We will build your watch within the next 2-4 weeks
    • We will send you an invoice via email and regular mail letting you know it has been built and gone through our multi-point inspection.
    • We then will ship your watch no later than 45 days from today (maybe sooner).
    It’s a no brainer decision. Let me rephrase that…you’re not even making a decision now because once you receive the Legacy Tourbillon you’re entitled to…

    30-Day Risk Free In-Home Evaluation
    [​IMG]
    Professional photos on a computer or phone screen don't do this watch justice. Put it next to any $100,000 tourbillon and it'll hold its own.

    Wear it out on the town, put it on during meeting with clients and experience the power and opportunity a Tourbillon creates for you. Only then after a full month (which begins after you get it) do you decide its worth your $1,997 investment.

    If you’re not completely blown away by the quality and opportunity this watch brings you….you’ll be issued a no questions asked 100% refund of your purchase price.

    Look at it more as a “risk free test drive” than a purchase. The only way you can lose is passing up the opportunity to own a $11,999 Tourbillon for only $1,997.

    Here’s What You Need To Do Now

    Please understand…this special price is only guaranteed today. If you come back tomorrow and the Legacy Tourbillon is priced at its true value of $11,999, that means we have some inventory and this “wait 45 days” offer is expired.

    Keep in mind…once the offer is expired…there will be no exceptions made. You will have to pay retail like everyone. Don’t let that happen to you…it’s like throwing away $10,000.

    P.S. If you’re already a serious watch collector the $1,997 might be a put off. After all, you’re using to spending $30,000 + per time piece so what kind of quality can you possible get for a mere $1,997? Let me tell you…you will be amazed. I’m not only the CEO of this company…I’ve also been a collector of fine watches forthe better part of 30 years. Not to be a braggard, but I have expansive collection of Patek, Rolex, Hublot and several other timepieces that exceed well over $1,000,000. And I still choose my Legacy Tourbillon over my $90,000 Piguet for a night on the town . This is a REAL luxury watch at a bargain price…something you will never see again in the watch industry. Like they say…seeing is believing – see for yourself (risk free) by clicking the Add To Cart button above.

    P.P.S. If you have any questions about the Legacy Tourbillon feel free to give us a call at 833 WATCHES. Or you can order online by clicking the Pay Pal button above. You don’t risk a penny at anytime. The only risk you take is “thinking about it” because when you come back there’s a good chance you’ll have to pay the full $11,999 price like everyone else. Don’t let that happen to you…reserve yours today for just $197 deposit.

    Even today, there are almost a dozen luxury watchmakers producing watches everyday. One of the town's most respected watchmakers was Alfred Helwig who was once a student (then a 40-year Head teacher) at the German Watchmaking School Glashutte. Alfred invented the "flying" tourbillon in 1920; the 1-bridge tourbillon. That is the same movement used in our Legacy Tourbillon. We pay homage to Alfred Helwig's invention on every dial of our watches. We call our "flying" tourbillon movement the Helwig Tourbillon in his honor.

    We also place the Glashutte coat-of-arms "crossed hammers" on every watch dial asa homage to the great town of Glashutte and their fine German watchmaking.

    This watch is worth $8,000,000 million bajillion dollars. It takes 6 months to make one and the richest of the rich can barely get one but I'll sell it to you for $1,500.

    So apparently thy cheap ones are made in China and valued at around $300.

    This is the Alpha of all luxury watches. If you don’t like people whispering about you like you’re a celebrity or gorgeous women coming to you, striking up a conversation…this is not your type of watch.

    I looked it up on another forum and someone made the point of "if anyone knew enough about watches to be amazed by a watch then they would realize within a second that yours is a cheap knockoff."

    I would feel comfortable wearing that watch in front of my clients.

    Ok you fuckers win it's now in spoilers. I didn't realize how long it was when I quoted it but i hope you all read every word like I did and I hope it made you vomit up mom's spaghetti.

    Btw I just bought by far the cheapest watch I've ever bought and am now a verified true amateur horology enthusiast.

    Jesus. You weren’t kidding. Bought the white shortly after you posted this. Went back and looked and all but two models are sold out.

    I would have kopped that meteorite dial if I was a little quicker to look at it. I’ll pay retail for one of those if he’s holding some out for retail pricing

    Backstory... buddy ordered a Hulk off Bob’s & they sent him a Kermit by mistake. They called him, asking them to return it. He laughed & suggested they file an insurance claim. Lucky fucker

    sharp watch. I think I’d rather have the hulk if going green

    My wrist, but not my piece. Hulk pales in comparison IMO. Face & bezel is super interesting in different light.

    Damn I'm glad you got one. Zelos' are known for selling out very quickly and that was an especially amazing deal, you should enjoy it.

    Many variants, which drive the price. Hulk generally caps out at about $15-16k. Kermits can go for double. Bob's has 3-4 which look pretty worn & a pristine one listed at $23k

    Kermits look better IMO. Have a buddy with a Hulk and just looks like an odd match depending on what he’s wearing. Seems like a good extra watch to have but wouldn’t wear it a lot.

    I have a buddy from high school who came from money and used to wear pastels and Vineyard Vines stuff. Saw him randomly on the street after having not seen him for 12 years and of course he was wearing a Hulk. It's the ultimate sub-$20k "look at me" watch.

    Yeah it's a hey look everyone can tell I have a Rolex version. I mean it's a pretty watch but if you're going to have one Rolex why go with that one.

    Thanks again for this. Completely sold out in 8 hours, but managed to pick up the black and gold for NFL gamedays. Hope I get to wear it this year...
