Solid 18k gold FM Casablanca ... rare as hen's teeth!

Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone remembers the ultra-limited run of virtually accurate solid gold 18k FM Casablancas...I believe only 10-25 are/were in existence. I say virtually, but I think not even FM afficionado & expert, Archibald, could tell the difference!

 

Definitely weightier than regular SS steel.. confirmed decorated (FM rotor) Swiss ETA 2892.. I probably replaced the (already great) strap with a better one that suits the colour, but I can't remember for sure. This was mightily expensive back then... and gold prices have risen a lot since then... and impossible to find. I really don't know what I was thinking back then, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity for something so accurate, although I think I have a gen Casablanca dial somewhere in any case :) Rarely worn, as I'm not really a gold kinda guy but still nice to look at :)

 

Suffice it to say, I haven't had time to wear this as we have been apart in separate countries, but it's nice to see when I'm back.

 

 

Here are some photos for your perusal...

Size comparison with the Vegas (yes the Vegas has a plastic covering on the crystal).

Hey your PMs are full too... these are not produced anymore, sadly, but I guess they would be so expensive these days, with the higher gold prices.
