Hello CWC,
I may regret this one:
I am offering my Frederique Constant Manufacture World Timer. Bought NIB from Bobby and worn a handful of times.
This watch has exceeded my expectations. Punches WAY above it's price. As a value proposition this one delivers.
Even the box is gorgeous.
Accuracy has been marvellous on this piece (well within COSC standards).
This model has one of their manufacture movements. And this run of watches was limited and individually numbered.
The fit is very nice, comfortable and while the finish is not by hand it's certainly praiseworthy at this price point.
In my opinion this particular model in the FC line up offers once of the nicest and simplest crown-only complications in a World Timer.
It's highly legible, no pushers, AM/PM, seconds and date; all adjustable from the crown. Luminous hour plots to boot.
FC actually makes this particular watch in rose gold. You can read about it here:

The Rose Gold plating on this model is high quality and the alligator strap is gorgeous.
FC-718 Automatic movement
26 Jewels, 28'800 VPH
42 Hr Power Reserve
The watch, still in production although no longer numbered, retails for C$4,625 plus HST.
Offered here at a reasonable $2,325 (55% after tax savings).
PS: I will include an OEM FC deployant clasp that I purchased separately in addition to the OEM factory fitted pin buckle.
