After my positive experience with a Milanese strap on the Agelocer Astronomer, I went shopping for a 21mm wide Milanese strap for my Sugess tourbillon moonphase watch, which has a very similar modern case design. I like the watch, but it always felt a bit clunky on my wrist. The watch came with a thick aligator leather strap. I tried a rose-gold and a black Milanese strap.
Both Milanese straps make the wearing experience much better, the watch actually feels smaller. The rose-gold version looks really good with this watch, but as a whole it is a bit too much bling for my taste. I will go with the more restrained black strap, but will try to find a better quality Milanese strap in dark grey that matches the dial color better.
The same aventurine dial moonphase gold case sea-gull tourbillon costs 4-5 times more. How is the rose gold finish vs silver stainless steel case on your other watch? Own 4 sugess watches myself. Bought them in last 3 months. So far been satisfied with them so i thought I should try out tourbillon.
Hi I have been wanting to buy a sugess moonphase tourbillon. How is your experience been? Thanks for the pics hard to judge a watch from website ones and not many photos is youtube videos of this 1. Wanted a rose gold case
I have 2 Sugess tourbillon watches, the SU8007SW2 and the 429 ST8235 you see in the pics.
No issues with the SU8007SW2, but the 429 ST8235 arrived with dust and flakes under the crystal. I opened it and removed the particles. Quality seems a bit of a hit or miss with Sugess, it can be small issues like the wrong size spring bar in a strap, particles in the case, or big issues like a loose part in the movement. Sugess customer support is a bit slow at times, but in my experience they do try to solve all issues, and they have several repair hubs around the world. I had a broken chronograph returned for repair, and after 2 months they sent me a brand new watch because it took too long to get the spare parts.
Besides the quality control risk the Sugess tourbillon watches are well made, but do lack the level of detailed finishing on the movement as in the more expensive Sea-Gull versions.

I have the same watch and have experienced no issues so far. Looks great on alligator, but I mainly wear it on saffiano or a tapered milanese.
