Frederique ConstantMen's FC-710MC4H4 Classics Manufacture Analog Display Automatic Self Wind Brown Watch

This watch is much better looking than the photos. It is plus 9 to 10 seconds per day, but can be acceptable for an automatic movement. The movement is very elegant and I am very happy with the product and delivery.

What can I say? First the delivery was held and no one gave me a good reason why. I finally received it this morning and realized the watch wasn't working. Further inspection at its back I could clearly see through the crystal glass a lose screw inside the watch! There were signs this watch isn't brand new either. I simply had to send it back and ask for a full refund.

This is fine automatic watch in the mid-range price bracket circa $2,500. It's lovely to look at and easy to read. It won't suit everyone as the Pink or Rose Gold toned case is really more 'orange' to my eye, but the gold is plated, not sprayed on!. The calibre that drives the watch is a 'manufactured' or in-house calibre. Only 1888 of them were made. FC watches are underrated by aficionados, but they offer something unique, and with quality to those who buy them. I think, over the years, they'll hold their value, or at least not depreciate as munch as some other more expensive brands.The roman numerals are printed as far as I can tell, not applied by hand, which is a small shame. The date dial is easy to read, and the dial face has some interesting patterned work which makes it interesting. Needless to say, the crystal, front and back, is sapphire, man-made of course, like all the other brands and like the Jewels in modern watches, unless you're super rich and can afford real jewels of course!. A good quality watch with its own FC calibre.

Nice watch
