Franck Muller Crazy Hours incoming from Toro

[Jkay]

My daughter dropped her Zigmeister-built franken FM Crazy and smashed the crystal. It turns out that the cheapest way to replace the crystal is to buy a new replica and swap in the gen parts

 

Thanks for sourcing this one for me, Toro.

Wow, even the 1 marking on the dial looks corrected as opposed to what I saw before! Is this an actual QC pic? Awesome watch, even if you are only going for the crystal

In future I know a dealer in the UK who can supply these crystals! He is on the Bay

Have always wanted one but never took it up.

 

What time is it on that watch in the QC pic then?  is it 3:15 or 4:55?

5:17 - it is only the hour hand that jumps 4 hours - minuts follow it normal path-

I am looking for one Crazy Hour. Is it men's size?

JKay, interested in the left over bits if they're no use to you after you've got the bits you want, I've a cheap fake FM chrono that I aim to use with crazy hours parts (movement, dial, hands, case - and my case back, crystal, maybe crown) to build a good one.

Since this is the first FM I've bought from Toro, I do not know which watch he is sourcing -exactly- and I do not even know (nor does anyone, I think) if all the FM reps are from the same factory ... basically, it's fingers crossed for now. The old FM reps I used to buy took gen dials and other parts, but this watch is an unknown to me.

 

If it's wrong for the parts I need, I could sell it on for what I paid, no problem. There is a certain crowd which loves the FM Crazy.

I have a bad movement one could have let you have for a song, Oh well.

Thank you, Mike ~ I appreciate the sentiment.

 

And to the person who asked about QC photos; yes that is a "real" QC pic.

Thanks, AJ ~ hopefully she learned her lesson the first time.

Fraggle - I'd be happy to box up the complete dial/hands/movement assembly for you, if that is what you need. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, tho. It should be here in a few days, and hopefully it's exactly what I need.

Thanks Jkay, as you say let's let it arrive first and see if you can sort out your daughters watch, and then go from there.
