Which rear Tourbillon for you?
Sorry for the low quality photos, but I think this comparison makes a lot of sense and is very interesting:
- Urban Jürgensen UJ-1
- Patek Philippe Ref. 5101P
- F.P. Journe T30
I really like all three of them and I'm still hesitating on my favorite, but I wonder if I might ultimately choose the T30...
What about you?

I'm afraid it is too long for my wrist.
Also, as I love to wind my watch daily, the 10-Day PR does nothing for me.
That said, it's a stunning piece and I hope to see one IRL someday.

Fantastic design,
but I think it's probably too long for my wrist.

All three are good.
The Patek doesn't look good on my wrist - as it's too long. But the other two look decent on my wrist! Were you planning on loaning me one?
I'm not sure 5101 would look good on my wrist either.

I would gladly loan you one, if I owned any! ;-)

I know more women who wear the 5101 than men!
I know of two or three women who seem to frequently wear their 5101s and wear them more often than their male partners. One of these women is quite famous as she's the partner of a famous watchmaker.
I agree, winding rituals are best done daily!
And thank you for that reminder! I have two watches I should be winding soon!
I'm touched you'd loan me a watch! Very kind! I know you don't say that lightly! Big hug to you my friend!
Realistically, Patek
Now that UJ looks good, but the price is just ridiculous in my view. I think the Patek is great value for money today (relatively speaking). The FPJ is unattractive to me.

Of course, price wise the 5101 is the only “realistic” option as you say.
But I'm not sure if it would suit my smallish wrist.

I would also love to see the UJ, which I like and the FPJ, which, on photos, is my favorite Journe.

I'm glad you rank the T30 so high.
I've seen none of the three in person, but the T30 has always felt very attractive to me.

It's a stunning piece and the strap is easy to swap.

It’s like a mullet. Business in the front and party in the back. I’m going with Patek. And I think I’m having salmon for dinner.
Aha! ;-)
The PP is very appealing, but might be too long for smaller wrists.

These are terrific!
The quality of the pieces and the way you captured them more than makes up for the pixel quality! In fact the quality adds a sense of style and ruggedness to the shots!
I agree with your choice, but that luscious sheen the PP is undeniable!
Not my photo, unfortunately. I borrowed it from @ thedeadwatchsociety.
I'm glad you like the T30 too.
The 5101 is a wonderful timepiece too, but it might not suit smaller wrists very well.

The long power reserve is the thing I personally like the least about the PP:
I like to wind my watches daily!

Ugh...
Tough choice. Love the PP movement but that case not great for my wrist. FPJ for me, quattro.
Exactly my thoughts: love the PP, but fear it wouldn't suit my wrist properly.
Also, the T30 has always been a favorite of mine.

I like it too very much, even if I know how unloved it is by many of our fellow members.

Why is that
Kari is an amazing watch maker. No one complains about his stuff? I just don’t know the history. And while we are at it, why zero love in the community writ large for CVDK?
