That is a very cool and unique collection. I really enjoy seeing the variety; thanks for posting.....and also costing me some money.

Hey Phrank,

How are you getting on with your 'Freddie'?

I'm just about to pull the trigger on one.

French! Sorry I missed this!

You know, the watch has grown on me more and more. It sits so nicely on the wrist, definitely has a real presence, and much like the member who remarked regarding the Tissot PRX 80, "Ended up finding out I'm not really into the 70s integrated fad after all, but at least I didn't have to buy an AP to learn!", the same can be said for this Freddy Constant.

I get to own a gorgeous World Timer without the cost of Patek, and truth be told, the Patek I'm after is the 5135J, so win-win for me.

Having everything controlled from the single crown is very convenient, transparent caseback and finishing is nice, and most importantly, it's fun to wear.

Great price, beautiful watch, just took me awhile to find the Green dial.

Excellent!

Glad you're pleased with it.

I still haven't bought one.

I really fancy the brown dial/gold version, but I want to see one in the flesh (metal) before I commit.

Although your photo has got me quite liking the green now.

Health to enjoy - and all the best wishes for 2023.
