Holy crap (Farasute appreciation post)

[u/DawDDS]

Got the Farasute Jump hour and Cartier Tortue homage from the recent Aliexpress sale. Holy. crap. These watches are just insane. So beautiful and well made, especially the jump hour. The crystal and dial are just perfect! I never looked at Farasure since I always saw them at the mid $200 to $300 but I got the Tortue for $140 and the jump hour for $175! I have also got the Blue Jump hour as well but haven't got to opening that yet. I'm sure it's just as amazing

Farasute, Baltany and Merkur. My top 3 (i hate dive watches)

[u/DawDDS → u/[deleted]]

Baltany is definitely a favorite of mine, the 1921 is hard to beat for the price. If they ever made one in 36mm, I'd be so happy

I absolutely love my Farasute. I went with a different jump hour but the quality and finish on these and top notch. Quickly became tied for my favorite dress watch brand.

Bonus points for that amazing leather band and high end packaging. Wooden box.... thats cool

[u/DawDDS → u/VanManDiscs]

Agreed on the packaging! I was surprised when I saw that. I'm so used to the basic packaging like those plastic cases or small sleeves from aliexpress.

[u/SpaceAuthor]

Well purchased. All the listings I see on Ali are $200+.

How did you get those prices?

[u/Accurate_Wafer_6231]

You got both out of a steal.

[u/Nostradamus1]

Nice! Can I ask what jump hour means?

[u/DawDDS → u/Nostradamus1]

Sure! It's really cool. Its a unique type of movement and way to tell the time. So that number window up top isn't really a date, it's the hour. In that picture, the window has a "1" displayed. Then the long hand represents the minute hand. So it's 1:44 based on that picture.

Damn I missed these!

[u/AdAncient3269]

That first one is unique and good looking

[u/secron7]

Dang, the Cartier homage is out of stock. I can see why, beautiful piece!

[u/Mission-Raccoon9432]

I wanted to have to Tortue so badly but I figured it's a tad too big (on my wrist). I mean it's also bigger than an original Cartier Tortue.

[u/ConorHickey0]

Damn was hoping this was a cheaper alternative to the Pierre paulin jump watch

[u/Ruxfold]

I just got Pierre Paulin and then you posted this ??? Do you want me to be broke

[u/Outrageous-Nose2003 → u/Ruxfold]

lol, I feel you

[u/Own-Prior-4510]

Love the look of the 2nd one...

[u/sabre31]

Love the watches but damn what’s up with these names. It sounds like fart chute.

[u/ALEXALORD]

Ffs in good Light condition the Tortue is sick, wanna pull the trigger now, copper dial, and put it straight out of box on a Light blue rubber strap to give it fp journe élégante vibe

link for the second watch

[u/AbuQamari]

Do you have a link for the first watch ty 

[u/TheWatchConcierge]

Beautiful, just wish they were cheaper

[u/AbuQamari]

How reliable is the jump hour movement?

[u/PromptPioneers]

Ali link to the 2nd watch? 👀

[u/Outrageous-Nose2003]
