FM Conquistador Cortez King Swiss ETA 2836

Recommended Posts

digger2

Before CNY I decided to order a black Conquistador Cortez king and I was very tempted to buy the chrono model but gave up that thought for a more reliable 2836 movement. I browsed through all the trusted dealers and the price was about 370 USD shipped.

I then found this one on sale at Watch Eden for 279 shipped, (price now is 358) and took the chance to save some bucks.

 

Item Number:53623

Franck Muller Conquistador Black Kortez Swiss ETA 2836 Movement PVD Case with Black Dial-Rubber Strap

Swiss ETA 2836 Automatic Movement

with Smooth Sweeping Seconds Hand

High quality PVD Casing

High quality genuine Rubber Strap with PVD Buckle

Sapphire Crystal Glass Face with Anti-Reflective Coating

Water-Resistant

 

They promised to check the watch before delivery and send it after CNY , they sent the watch at the 12 Feb and it arrived 17 Feb.

 

I found the watch in perfect condition and I can't find anything to complain about except maybe some glue visible at very close exam around the crystal and the engraving at the rotor, the dial and the hands look fantastic IMO. I know it says PVD but I'm wondering if this maybe could be the DLC version.

 

Now to some pictures:

My compliments on your photos and video. BTW: What's that app your using? Does it measure the accuracy?

As you said Kello is the app.

I have tested it on a few watches and for simple adjustment it works fine, just have to tape the Iphone mic to the watch to get the signal strong enough.
