Considering a proper Tourb is about £135,000 that's a bargain

Tourbillion isn't 135k either, it's just a part of a type of movement.

the fact the towel or whatever they are sat on doesnt move between each picture and the watch is exactly in the same place, tells me that the is what there "suppose" to look like. The real thing will look like that but it'll be a sticker

I saw that haha!
I bought a very similar one off eBay and its works beautifully, but the strap broke.
Kinetic movement works great and still does to this day.
If you put aside the fact it tells you that the date is the 39th, its a great watch!

I'd take a punt and buy one for that sort of cash. Almost a disposable watch.

What are people taking a punt at exactly?
It's a watch with a see through face?
You'll get exactly £3 worth for your £9.

There's no reason it wouldn't work fine, it's just that they are shit and made from shocking quality materials, there's nothing surprising about it.

It might last a day, or a year. It might keep time well, or it could need setting every other day.

Why would it not look like it does in the pictures?
That's what's inside a watch, it's just got a bit cut out of the face.

Likelihood of it being made of nickel and making my skin fall off?

Is nickel the cheapest crappiest feeling material you can make it out of?
Just noticed that monstrosity that was posted last has a 'tourbillion' it's the bit bottom centre.

It's only proper manufacturers that make watches with tourbillions, they are all expensive, expensive starts at a fraction of 135k though.
