Even though I don't think I would ever buy one, I somehow really like the design of Franck Muller.

@nivka I have the same GF FM. Serviced it and it is runnen strong.  Only the strap is rubbish.  Thinking about a gen bleu croc leather strap. 
 

What is your thought?    Oh, and wear the FM in good health  :)

I already had the Hirsch and it doesn’t fit the rep buckle. It feels like it should have a deployant

Lately I am growing into some others brands which not realy caught my attention in the past. Is it the age perhaps?emoji57.png

 

A good friend of mine has a tourby Franck Muller and I started to love the modell more and more. Once I saw Trusty (Andrew) launched the Casablanca I had to order one. 3 days shipping from The far east to the netherlands WOW!... Now that's rocket fast. Regarding the communication with Andrew... also smooth and fast as always.

 

I saw the specs and I knew it had to be a special watch. Great time to buy reps, they are getting better and better by details and quality. Back to the watch. The FM wears extremely comfortable, probably due to the shape of the case and size. Also it is a great everyday watch. Many people don't know the brand to well so it is a nice starter in conversations sofar. The winding is very smooth and the watch keeps great time sofar. The crystal is just simply AMAZING!!! They claim the Sapphire glass crystal grade on the watch is swiss high grade Level 10! I think my pictures will tell they are probably right and it is top quality. I also love the way how the dial pops out depending on the light angle. The Dial Guilloche effect and also the layers of the coating & applied wordings seems to be 1:1 same to the manufacture standards of the real deal. The caseback is also made with great eye on details. I will also add some pics Andrew posted earlier with the Rep compared to the Gen

Is your rotor noisy? I got a black dial one and it is quite noisy for a 2824.

FM's are a bit marmite - a bit 1960's but this is a peach 

Been looking seriously at the GF FM Vanguard........
