I also bought a Chinese tourbillon - the Sugess Tourbillon Master SU8230STRC - and am very happy with it. Little did I know, though, that tourbillons on wrist watches make them actually less precise than regular watches, as they use a lot of power from the main spring. This somehow defeats their purpose.
Chag Sameach Jory - wishing you and fam a happy and healthy new year. The way you were pronouncing “Locer” has made me realise that it was probably named to sound remotely like “H Moser”! I had been saying it as “Locker” so you’re probably correct. A few more watches I’d rather put a grand towards, even in the Kickstarter territory. But if someone is desperate for a Tourbillon for their collection, this could be a good entryway assuming the QC risks of Chinese made is tolerable. Great review and editing!
Where'd you buy the watch from? Their website or aliexpress? I keep trying to find more reviews on the watch but they all seem fake or paid for.. Would I be able to reach out personally and ask a couple more questions? 👍
His daily vids weren't taking off. He was trying it out, and it didn't get results. That's my understanding at least. We're getting actual reviews instead of daily shitting on Hodinkee so that's nice (as fun as those were for a while lol).
OMG stop saying that you can't go under water with a 50 meter rated watch (that's 150 feet below the surface!). It doesn't matter if the pressure testing is done in a watch shop, using pressurized air (instead of water). If it's rated 50 meters, you can jump into a swimming pool, lake, etc. while wearing it. Just make sure that the crown is pushed in.
The problem with cut-price complicated movements is that they will surely be very expensive to service or repair “when” they go wrong. Everything is done to a budget and sone of the movements are quite unique so not market-tested hence I suspect the prospect for unreliability is real. Spending $1k plus to service your sub k watch seems very silly to me, not to mention throwing all that money into a pit which will swallow up your hard-earned over the years never to be seen again as this type of watch is practically worthless once purchased. You might as well take your money and throw it into a fire.
Can you tell us more about the watch you got your wife’s boyfriend ? He seemed unhappy with the watch you got him is the video you made. I thought it was nice. If he doesn’t want it, I’ll take it. Don’t let him talk to you like that. I know she’s happy but you need to be happy to. Stop doing all the cooking and cleaning for tyrone.
Are there hands on that watch - are they there, or are those bits of skeleton, or is it just totally illegible, I’m not sure 🤔😂 Nice tourbillon, nice bit of wrist art though.
Chinese brand, naming their movement very similar to a Rolex caliber, saying "Inspired by Swiss Quality" on their website? Seems like the Chinese are doing their homework, just as expected.

Talk less... Show more.
Absolutely love it! Looks fantastic and the price can't really be argued with

I have this watch its a little loud clicking and you need the winder but its lovely to look at very Christmasey.🎉
The watch has a fascinating design and the presence of the Tourbillon enhances it a lot
Thank you, Anthony!
You teased us with the thumbnail and almost didn’t show the watch at all in the video
Why are you calling Gato Anthony?
O would like to see you review agelocers full sapphire case tourbillion.

Looks difficult to tell the time
That's why I hate skeletons
When u have a Turbion in a watch, youre not buying it to tell time.
More takes of the watch please, we can hear you
Would these be difficult to service? I'm not sure if I'm sold on these Chinese tourbilions.
I think it was vintage watch repair that broke this model down and put it back together
I don't know too much about Angelus, but is rhis a homage of an Angelus tourbillon? If so, may want to mention it
how come you're not posting as much anymore? are you posting watch content on patreon?

What happened to Gato?
Bro how do you make a 30 minute review and you don’t put the watch on wrist even once..

Dude how about some b-roll of the watch? You just talking and waving it around
Anthony is the goat 🐐
I miss the unboxing portions. Am I the minority?
Wish at least half of the video was showing the watch more
less face shots more watch shots pls
What the watch name?
It's called agelocer

I won't get a skeleton watch. I like to be able to tell the time when I look at my watch. I'm kinda funny that way.
Finish on the movement can be better, a lot better, but for the price I guess it's fair.
Reviewers only review them new. Review it after wearing it for 6 months to a year. Another brand ciga design their crap falls apart
I can not find that watch on their site.
How cow, you're back!
It´s an interesting piece for sure, but I´d never buy a sekelton watch, and tourbillon is a useless feature.

Nice tourbillon, nice bit of wrist art though.
Yeah I can barely so one hand initially, then on closeup I see the hour hand. Crap - I wear a watch so I can know the time.
Would have e been good to see more of the watch instead of your face.

Chinese Garbage - disposable by first failure or damage. Environmental disaster. Why you take it serious? Craftmenship is fare away.
