There are only two platinum Sky-Moons, the one pictured is gold. I am giving the benefit of the doubt here - please don't let me down...

Good morning , i have read your post and frankly i feel sorry for you!
There is no doubt in my mind that you may have very well met or even saw a tourbillon.

Don't expect me to let your "Odius " attitude make me feel less, it's only because of a few trusted friends on the forum that i decieded to even post a borrowed pic and if that's if i even choose to do any wristshots of the piece you won't see it!

Iv'e already wasted too much time talking to you as is! so you can "popinjay" along with any other person who feels the same.

Your about as funny as the corny avatar your sporting.

Have a good day!

Alright alright, let's just all relax... Sean, truthfully, I am anxious to see even a crappy phone pic of that thing - ALWAYS wanted to see one in person, mate!

Sure I'll have a good day - I'm now sure my BS detector is working! But, pal, for you to say now that you are too insulted to show a wrist shot when doing so would surely shut me up is ridiculous.

You don't have it. If you did, you'd show a picture of yourself with the watch and today's newspaper. Then ask Steve to ban me. I'll go quietly. But that's not gonna happen - because, like I said, you don't have it.

I, for one, am happy to wait to see the wrist shots.

It won't be long, I'm sure.

As for the open BS calling, it's not appreciated.

Man, I could be wrong but I don't believe it

People who buy the million dollar watches don't post them on forums like these, they are very discrete.

Besides you're only 5 months on this forum but you posted 2200 messages. The people who earn enough to buy these ultra complicated , their time is way to expensive and I can't imagine they have enough time to post 500 messages per month !

for the people who want to see a wristshot

(and ... NO, this is NOT my watch but I had the pleasure to try it for a couple of hours !) :-)















AND since the Sky moon tourbillon was imo first made in 2002 ... it will be difficult to own a 1999 model ;-)

There you go! my point exactly and with that being said under strong legal advice i will not be posting pictures of the piece.

It's a small world and i'm not taking that chance, after hearing some of the feedback on this i think it's in my best intrest not to.

So sorry to all i have spoken to my lawyer so believe what you want but i know the truth.

Take care and have a great day!

Wow I read this post and it is really is great now you are stating this watch is 7 figures is that correct?

Now I would like to see some authentication to this watch. Please show the watch to prove it its real.

I googled the watch and I found one that sold a couple of years ago at $1,025,000 and that was hand delivered to a collector in Taiwan.
For reference it was a 2001 model.

That cost would cover a house here in San Diego. Will it go up in value like a house?

Have no idea on how this type of watch appreciates or depreciates.

guys, read the end of my post !

He claims he has a 1999 model and the first Skymoon was made in 2002 And I'm pretty sure the first pieces were only in gold, platinum started in (2003-2004 ?)

The price is about 900.000 euro this is 1.3 million USD

I'm starting to get a little confused now.


Since the subject is bound to generate further controversy of the existence/non existence of the said watch (in the member's possession at least) I suggest one of the following:

1. Post some lovely wristshots so that we can all bask in the beauty of this ultimate timepiece.

2. Never, ever mention the watch again, just to keep the damn peace.


I must say that if I were brave enough to own this piece there'd be pictures abound.
