Chrono24

Hello guys

I am new to this forum. I found the website Chrono24 and there are a lot of watches there for sale.

In particular i found a Franck Muller Conquistador Cortez

https://www.chrono24.com/franckmulle...-id5375749.htm

Now i was wondering whether the watch is real or fake and whether i should buy it.

My worry is that i read on the internet that there are a lot of fake FM watches that can not be distinguished from the real deal, even the mechanism.

How will i know before i proceed.

Thanks

There are many fakes of FM pieces, but quality is not so good.
Sadly all FM watches have a closed back, so no clue, unless the seller opens it.

In my opinion, based on quality of dial and case your watch is genuine.

You could get the serial number and make a call to FM in Geneva to double check
Regards

Not sure where you came up with that?
