OEM FM Conquistador

With that many problems, have you thought of asking for a replacement?

Na, I'm gonna send it off for service and if it's determined that something is major wrong, then I'll ask for a new one...

My guess is that it sat around for a long time and the oils have dried up or something like that. Ziggy can work magic, so I'm confident that he can get it working just fine.

Yup that is exactly what was wrong with mine. If anyone can figure out a way to improve upon your watch , it will be The Zigmeister.

good luck

Which movement did you get in your one?

ETA 2892-2

I have the 2892 from Joshua. I had it waterproof tested by my watchsmith and it passed.

[jraines87]

Mine was ETA 2671 (Ladies watch)

No need to even test mine for waterproofness cause I know there is no way in hell it would pass...

I actually just checked and it is 700 an ounce, so perhaps that isn't too bad.

700 bucks per troy oz--only telve of those to the pound, not 16, and the watches are only 75% gold. So if the muller case and back weigh, say, 80 grams (and that's a lot for a 40mm watch) it has about $1400 worth of gold in it.

The markups are arbitrary for other reasons as well. Check this out: the SS king cinquistador chrono is 4 grand or so more than the "regular" conquistador chrono even though the smaller one is powered by an FP 1185 which is worth several times what the 7750 inside the King is worth. Muller is charging King Conquistador buyers 4 grand for, what, an oz of extra stainless?

BTW, in response to my thread begging for a Casablanca chrono rep, someone in the know pm'd me saying an asia 7750 King Conquistador chrono is in the works...so nobody go out and buy a gen, hear?

[Watchmeister]

No, but I have a couple of dials waiting.

[HighDef]

Not much difference compared to our $300 rep.

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be something like that.
