Frederique constant manufacture fc710 mc4h4

A pair of seikos that was also my wife and I first partner watch but wanting to get rid of them now and replace them with something I would wear. (She doesn't like it any more either.)

Lovely varied collection. Thanks for sharing. I have been thinking of a similar FC to scratch my "need" for a dress watch.

Re: SOTC - Maverick_John April 2025
Thanks really only started getting into it around 8 or so years ago. I've offloaded a few and as mentioned the next ones to go are the seikos.
Thanks heaps. I'm also glad. It's my most casual watch and adds a bit of fun to my otherwise dressier style of watches.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 5:20 am So glad you got the Moonphase to add to a lovely collection!![]()

Re: SOTC - Maverick_John April 2025
Honestly I got that FC very cheap I think $1800 aud. It's actually rrp is $4k
But the value of them when you get them on sale is hard to beat.

Re: SOTC - Maverick_John April 2025
A nice varied collection you’ve built up. I think the Longines is my favourite.
