Happy T Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 This being my first attempt at taking any kind of pictures of a watch will be evident. I'm a total newb at this and over the past several weeks have ordered ummmmmm, a few..... yea, thats it, a few reps and of course the first one to arrive is one I ordered for the wife. One things for sure, I'm pretty sure shes going to be happy when she gets home from work today..... which might mean I'll be happy too. Bought this from Josh. Ordered it on the 19th...shipped on the 22nd... received today April 5. It is a SS FM Ladies Conquistador with a white dial and silver markers. I'm hoping the pictures I took will be halfway decent to show off the beauty of this watch. It is, IMO, simple and elegant. My wife is not a fan of bling bling and we found that a lot of the ladies reps have a bunch of the faux diamond thing going on. IMO they look fake.... ummmm, well, I guess they are fake but you know what I mean. The SS on this watch looked good. I wasn't crazy about the bracelet as it felt flimsy but for all I know could be what a ladies bracelet should be. I don't wear them very often. One thing I had mentioned to another board member is I can see this watch making its way to a nice light colored leather strap in the future. Its 24mm and the dial looks pretty darn good. I haven't put it under a magnifyer yet but I don't think many people will be doing that either. The movement is the Swiss ETA 2671-2. The second hand glides very smoothly. The screw down crown felt firm and setting the date and time was equally firm. I'm not sure if firm is the term I'm looking for.... what I'm trying to say is that setting the date/time did not feel loose or rough but very smooth. The engraving on the back case is IMO ok. Not great, not bad.... OK. The picture I took will make it look real bad and trust me... its not as bad as the picture would have you believe. When you put it in perspective, that this is a $250 dollar rep, its exactly what I would expect. IMO, a very nice watch that I'm sure will bring a smile to her face and hopefully sidetrack her long enough for me to stash all the other reps coming.

trunk21 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Bought one for the wife over a year ago, still running strong. She will love it, guys. Also, builds up your credit line whenever you buy her a watch. 2:1 ratio is my rule... Edited May 26, 2006 by trunk21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I offered to buy one for my wife when I got the men's 2892 silver dial version for myself. But she sticks with her G-Shocks But she makes up for it in ti bicycle parts and vet bills for her/our weird pets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmut Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Just about to buy a black face one for my wife. I'll probably change the bracelet too. Whats the size between lugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Looks good, but I would just be careful with the bracelet on this watch, they have a habit of falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
