I've really liked this one lately. My GF gets a decent discount on them through work I guess, so may try to get one for Christmas for myself

Thanks xizor. Yea it definitely looks more expensive than it is, which I guess is a good thing 
In my three weeks of ownership so far, it's been great. Looks good on the wrist, feels sturdy and well built.
Was a bid unhappy that the minute had was trailing the second hand ie: when the second hand came round to start a new minute, the minute hand was not exactly lined up with the minute marker, only lined up when the second hand was about 15 seconds into the new minute.
Turns out, when the time was set, it was not done so correctly. According to the manual it has to be set at 30 seconds into the minute, don't know why, but I re-set it accordingly and now the two hands follow each other perfectly.
So all in all, very happy with my purchase

Never thought a tourbillon was going to make it into this thread… but here it is
The Sekonda Tourbillon

The Sekonda Tourbillon
A Special Edition Sekonda Skeleton Toubillon reminds us of the mechanical origins of the Sekonda brand.
The Tourbillon is presented in an octagonal, satin finished 48.5mm three piece case which is 11mm thick. It therefore fits beautifully on a man's wrist or with style on a beautiful lady's wrist! Four screws match the colour of the crown and the oversize numerals.
And now the movement... we have used a Calibre HS 2233 Skeleton hand-winding tourbillon mechanism with the cage sited at 12 o'clock. 19 jewels are used in the movement which oscillate at 28,000 vibrations per hour and provides a 40 hour power reserve.

Sapphire glass reveals the lovely features of the dial whilst the movement may be examined via a smoked mineral glass rear opening. Gemstone cut hands with a Swiss luminous coating eases readability. The strap is crafted from a high density dust proof rubber with UV protection
