cpaman Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Here is the link to a FM Conquistador on a UK jewellers website that is dead-on exact looking watch as Joshua sells down to the second hand having red past the arrow head. Did this jeweller get taken or is this best dead-on rep out there??? You be the judge. FM Conquistador Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 The black joshua rep is more accurate than the silver faced one b/c on the genuine black face, the red paint does in fact extend a tiny bit onto the shaft. One the genuine silver faced one, only the tip is red. The black joshua rep. would be perfect I think were it not for the slightly small crown.

the collector Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Is it possible to buy a genuine crown for the watch? if so, where do i find this crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Just to end all speculations, there are numerous versions/productions of the conquistador, some have the red paint beyond the arrow and some do not. Black or white, chrono or not. Here are some genuine pics for everyone to compare: http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/houseki-h/img10591542306.jpeg http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/s/?@0...uller/fm010.jpg But note that the ones with the extended red arrow are "arrow" in shape and the other ones are more "triangle" in shape. Hence the version that are sold by Jos/King/Aspire are the "correct" shape. Here is a pic of a gen's case back for those that are interested. The engraving is a lot better than the rep imo. But I guess you can always lie and tell ppl that the engraving was "hand engraved"! =) http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/bluek/img/ma...8005SCSSSLc.jpg Cheers.

tescardo Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) This one is gen What other flaws does the rep have? when you know that the watch in the link is genuine, you should also know what flaws the rep has ! BTW Kings crown is slightly better than Josh`s and Pauls is the worst. Edited May 20, 2006 by tescardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your last pic show a prototype of the new 8005SC without Serial Lok at my pic of the genuine 8005SC caseback. The engraving looks the same as on my King FM Regards Edited May 20, 2006 by tescardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnkaz Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I know Blowers, I have bought from them 100% legitimate. Any guys in the north of England want a nice genuine piece, I would recommend Blowers for a good deal. Cheers Johnkaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
