I'm afraid I know nothing about their movements but I must say they have some nice and original dials! Perhaps it looks a bit feminine but I find them beautiful and it will surely know how to drag attention!

Mike, I'm presently helping FV complete a closeout, what exactly do you want to know about them?

Thanks Carl, I agree, some nice dials!

Greg, are they worth more then your toe nail clippings??? LOL
I saw a WorldTimer with a PVD case and RG accents... VERY sharp looking watch, about 50% off of retail.

I actually had one of those FS a few months ago - http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...ght=frank+vila the price was better than 50% off, so I'd say pass.

It is a very nice brand for the money. Just don't get caught up in the 'retail' hype, buy smart, and you will be OK, as long as it is a decent model.

Greg, that is one cool watch at a very good price. Shame I have all the VAT complications or you would be my first point of call.

Very similar to that Greg... The one I saw is model # FVa5. The cities are at the 6 o'clock position.
Do you have that model?

It's not a closeout model, but can still be found at a nice discount.

Is the 1st pic you posted a closeout model? If so, what can that be picked up for?
