My little secret for ebay. Get someone at beginning of auction and email with an immediate payment offer. Or watch the item and if it doesn't sell make an offer. I recently picked up a Francois Rotier (turbillon) purchased in Basel Switzerland . It was in a huge burled box with receipt for 2800 euros and all paper for $400. People need money now and deals are being made. Be patient! The Alligator is discontinued and other than the madball or diver I wouldn't own another (my preference)

Ehecht..
I don't want to break your great deals dreams about the tourbillon but Francois Rotier is another brand buying his "tourbillons" from China: If they are located in Germany...
Another known seller(who sold subs,explorers 2 and pam homages with 2634-2 mvt who is the most Chinesed-Swiss movements ever...) was selling also very similar tourbillons watches for 450$ on Ebay...
There's no cheap Swiss-made real tourbillons: It just don't exist...
You had a better call on the Ball most likely;)
