Tombstone0 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I received a Franck Muller Conquistador from Joshua about a week ago. It looks great and keeps great time. And here it is with a watch I got a few years ago for graduation. Edited March 31, 2006 by Tombstone0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone0 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 It is a great watch. Extremely accurate rep and great movement. Enjoy it. Thanks guys. Those are some of the reasons I decided to order this watch as my first rep. Now I just need to try to suppress the urge to order my second, for at least a little while. Maybe a 111H.

chris5264 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I almost got that rep myself,,,,,I would guess the lug width is 20mm? Also, what is the length, not including the lugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone0 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I almost got that rep myself,,,,,I would guess the lug width is 20mm? Also, what is the length, not including the lugs? The width is about 20mm and the length is about 39 or 40 mm. The measurements aren't overly accurate because I used the ruler on a paper slicer marked every 2 mm.

thedoctor Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I got the silver faced rep. from Joshua. I was just in Vegas and got to compare it to the genuine. It feels pretty much the same in terms of weight and bracelet quality. The crown is slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels pretty much the same in terms of weight and bracelet quality. The crown is slightly different. I've never seen a gen, but I also have the silver/white guilloche dial 2892 version from Joshua and it's the nicest rep I own. It's stunning and keeps COSC time. I wore it into a Rolex, Breitling, Omega, Patek AD last weekend here in town and the salesmen were falling over themselves to show me gold Daytonas I told them I was looking for stainless and would just get one on the web...

At WEMPE Madrid the white gold daytona costs 22 000 Euros. As normal gold is cheaper than white gold, I guess it will be around 17 000 Euros.

tescardo Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) King is also offering the Conquistador 8005SC . Does anyone know if it is the same watch Josh and Paul is selling? Edited April 27, 2006 by tescardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLiNK Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Nice. Is the caseback etched or engraved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitime Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, I've noticed that this same watch appears to also exist with the cheaper ETA2824 movement... are the watches otherwise the same? i.e. are the case shape, dials, hands and bracelet otherwise identical, but with a different movement only? I am interested in one, but at approximately $270 from our dealers, it is a bit too expensive for me.... If the different variants are all the same, except for teh movement, then I would glad buy the cheaper one... Any experts care to chime in?

wildcard Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Paul @ aspire-eshop.com That `s the 8001SC, a different watch. Here we are talking about the 8005SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, so then the case/dial design for the 8001SC is different from the 8005SC? Can you educate as to the difference? What about the 8002?
