Post by: fooyc on May 21, 2011, 09:12:15 PM

Hello Folks,

New join. Been a while I have not put any watch on my wrist (2 old Quartz watch is collecting dust rapidly), took the plunge today and acquire an Automatic FC few hours back. Hope to learn a trick or two from everyone here.  ;)

Thanks for the hearty welcome Jacky-san.

I bought an entry level FC automatic, for daily use. Not so much for watch collection/display.  ;D

Sure do Folks.

Brief background of myself. IT by profession, hifi and car as main interest. Watches has always not in my priority as I carry several cell phones (BB for work, iPhone and another personal phones); as my BB roams internationally, accurate time is never really an issue for me, until I read the recent few editions of iWatch magazine and found Frederique Constant, Geneve. I quite like their tag line of "affordable luxury" (OK, the main tag line has always been Live Your Passion) not to mention their in house activities from design to manufacturing (I know my FC 303 is an ETA 2824/2 movement though - correct me if I am wrong).

Little bit of an issue here, to me, a clock is a clock, I only need it to tell me time (accuracy can always verify with my cell phones). Only when my buddy (he should be lurking somewhere in this forum) briefly chat about Quartz, Automatic, ETA, movement, jewel, bph, I know I am in for trouble for sure.  :P Mechanical engineering fascinate me. Yes it did !

The only other issue is, things that I acquire, has to be fully functional at all time, wherever I go and whatever I am doing. Also, I happen to have a rather teeny weeny wrist (40mm and above diameter will be rather overwhelmed).

Spare the suspense, here's the Junior Frederique Constant, FC303B4B26 I bought from [AD name removed - Mod], Bangsar Shopping Village :

Loving it every minute on my wrist. Just hope it will last my abuse for many months and years to come.
