Frankt, may I ask which dealer you got it from ?

Sounds like a good deal at US$150 (excl delivery)! Any comments on how good this rep is?

Thanks guys for all your inputs! It seems the Superocean is a popular choice among most members that has posted their views on this topic and secondly I got the feeling Ruby is the dealer I should get this watch from. I can't decide if it's better to get SS strap or leather strap? is the SS strap of good 316L quality?

OMG...need to wear my shades just to look at it! By the way guys how do I get to Ruby's website? Is she a trusted dealer?

Hi guys, not sure what most of you feel about prices of reps nowadays........some reaching beyond US$400. Have the quality of reps improved so much the past year or so to justify this? Anyway, I thought it would be good to know what the experts think their top 5 reps under US$200 would be?

I am not an expert but are these 'excellent' for a rep that cost more than US$350? Which of the three on Puretime's website is the closest to the gens? Anyway, does anyone know the price of the gens?

I'd take the girl at $3000

I have been looking for one myself but they have stop producing ETA2892 movements.

Any idea if the issues brought up above will be addressed? When will it be ready?

Gorgeous.....................how much?????

Can anyone tell me why the dealer section was taken off recently? I am sure there must be reasons for it. I thought it was convenient to have it, I could look at new reps being offerred by our 'trusted' dealers rather than having to go to their websites. I miss it.

$269 shipped by EMS. I thought one of the RWG dealer is offering a special for $218 but not sure if it include shipping. Please refer to dealer section. It is a beautiful watch but is it close to the original?

The chrono for me too!

Well, I love watches and there are loads of beautiful watches I would like to have but some of the prices of a gen timepiece is ridiculously expensive. Can't afford to buy more than a few gens but an excellent rep is almost as good as a gen at a fraction of the price thus I'll be able to get more. I know it sounds a little weird..I am addicted and it's making me that way.

How much does the gen cost? I LUV this watch, unless the rep is close, I'd rather get the gen.

One of the prerequisite of being a trusted dealer is to a certain extent ensuring that the product is in working order. It should be replaced. Buying online is always a gamble in my opinion and the only reason I still do is because I believe the RWG recommended dealers can be trusted and stand by their products, irrespective if it's hand picked and examined or drop shipped.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get one with the ETA2892A2 movement...the men version.

Well, King does not have it anymore and checked Silix website...it's stated as 'not available'. Looks like it's difficult to get one with the Swiss ETA2892A2 movement. How is the quality of the ETA2824 rep? Is it close to the original? Does the ariginal also have different SS bracelet versions? Cheers

Enquiring from King if she has the FM Conquistador ETA2892, hopefully it's the genuine Swiss movement and not the Seagul movement. BTW does this rep have a quality finish? Is the weight close to the original? I remember an article in RWG with regards to some issues with the bracelet? Anyone have any info? TQ

Didn't know there were different versions of the FM Conquistador. Thanks for the info. I also checked Paul's website and he no longer has the ETA2892 movement version!

May I ask when you got yours from Paul? His reputation in the RWG is rather hot & cold. Thnks

Thanks buddy! Nothing beats a side to side comparison. It's quite obvious that the ETA 2892 rep is better. It is also suggested that getting it from King which is cheaper than Joshua is probably the wise thing to do as both of them are of similar quality. Do you concur with this view? Thanks again........

Thanks for the opinion guys but I aware that the ETA2892 movement is a class above the ETA2824. What I wanted to know is the comparison of the rep itself. The ETA2892 and ETA2824 has a different face in practically all the RWG dealers website, which one is correct. Which one is closer to the original? Is there difference in the quality of the case or bracelet between the 2? Thanks

Been wanting to get one with the SS bracelet.......done research for info in RWG but can't seem to get a comparison between Franck Muller Conquistador reps with the swiss ETA2824 or the Swiss ETA2892A2 movements. That is taking comparison between the type of movement out of the consideration and just comparing the watch itself in terms of accuracy to the original! Which is better? Thanks guys.

Thanks for the advice, have decided not to ask her to replace it. In the future, I will ask the dealer about cover in terms of shipping damage. I realize that ordering reps by mail order is like a lottery sometimes....a whole lot of things could go wrong, from the transaction, the watch itself and the shipping (lost, delayed and being confiscated) and there is the reliability issue as well. However, if everything goes well, it actually gives me immense pleasure!
