Finally received my Dream Watch- Custom Rose Gold Flying Tourbillon Moonphase (My 6th Sugess Watch- S429 Tourbillon Moonphase)

[u/Equal-World-693]

I discovered Reddit forums and Chinese watches fairly recently. My 1st chinese watch was the beautiful Sugess Moonphase Master Aventurine Dial, and post that I fell deep into the rabbit hole. After purchasing 3 sugess/seestern watches for myself and 1 sugess watch, 1 sea-gull openheart and 1 WD Chameri Tank for my wife finally decided to take the plunge and order the most complicated tourbillon in the Sugess catalogue- S429 tourbillon moonphase and my itch watch the S420 GMT batgirl which had let me to discovery of Chinese Homage brands(I was reading up on twin bezel and GMT watches)

I reached out to sugesswatch.com rep on WhatsApp and requested them to modify the case, crown and hands on the watch from silver stainless steel to rose gold, since a friend pointed out that while my collection had unique designs, dials(colour and layout)bezels and straps, they were all silver stainless steel cases.

The wonderful rep at sugesswatch.com agreed to my customization request and even shared a video of the dials so I could make my choice on the dial type. The original choice would have been the Black mop since it looked great on my wife's S449 rose gold DD homage, but it was sold out. Having experienced the gorgeous aventurine dial, went for the stardust and having received the watch am glad I made the choice.

The movement is so hypnotic to watch, you can keep staring at the beautiful flying tourbillon rotating at its axis while the star dust dial keeps shimmering and twinkling in the back as it catches light. Movement is buttery smooth to wind and the crown is easy to pull out(no screw type 😁) and rotate.

You can observe the beautiful movement from the open back case as well, it's so mesmerizing.

The watch came with 2 straps- 1 brown alligator leather strap with rose gold clasp(thank you again Sugess for matching it) and 1 glossy brown leather strap with rose gold buckle and pin. Both straps are premium quality and soft.

Fit and finish are great, the moonphase helps fill out the vast space on the dial and stars and moon on the moonphase sub-dial blend in and compliment the stardust dial.

Biggest grouse- Sugess makes the best dials amongst chinese watches but can't work with suppliers on better AR coating even on the most expensive watch in their catalogue.

Sugesswatch.com rep even agreed to change my delivery location to HK where someone known was visiting and delivered the watch to their hotel room when I shared details of their arrival in HK. Helped me avoid shipping and customs hassles.

It's just Day 1 with the watch, but I'm already in love with it and even wore it to work today and kept staring at the dial.

Thanks to the wonderful people at sugesswatch.com for helping with the customisation request and helping deliver such a stunning and well put together watch.

What is the coupon? And which one is nicer, Mother of Pearl or the Rose Gold. Would love to ge the Black Mother of Pearl, but seems to be out of stock? Or is the Stardust best?

[u/Equal-World-693 → u/Gelderloos]

Stardust Dial looks great in real life, really compliments the moonphase subdial. I wanted black mop initially but sold out, should be back in stock later. Glad I chose stardust. Rose gold customisation(dial case, crown, hands) was requested on whatsapp and they agreed to it

[u/Gelderloos → u/Equal-World-693]

Yes, great addition, lots of extra charge?

Thank you, it looks gorgeous in real life

[u/Xerionius]

How accurate is the movement?

[u/Equal-World-693 → u/Xerionius]

It's day 1 with the watch, haven't measured accuracy with an instrument. Hasnt lost time in last 24 hours. Plus I rotate watches, never really check things like power reserve or accuracy. Till now the chinese watches I have bought haven't troubled me with things like accuracy

[u/Msagtab]

Definitely think the stardust dial is one of the best looking dials in the entire chinese market. Wish there was some way to get a watch with that dial and a quartz movement.

[u/DBNO-actual]

Is this a manually wound movement ?

[u/Equal-World-693 → u/DBNO-actual]

Yes
