Gorgeous Condition - All Original - 2 Year Warranty
We are proud to offer today this massive Certified Pre-Owned Franck Muller Vanguard in stainless steel. It is in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. On the wrist, it presents like new.
It showcases the design elements easily recognized across a room as a Franck Muller, in a much more modern looking interaction: A truly massive tonneau curvex case that measures 44mm by 53.7mm, exploding numerals, and pronounced luminous hands that are perfectly visible in the dark. Ours features a matte black dial.
The Frank Muller website states about it: "Beyond The Standard - Sailing in a sporty direction with this new captivating shape, the Vanguard™ collection calls in for clean and innovative aesthetics. The distinctive applique numerals have been meticulously hand-polished and hand-brushed. The dial and crown give the final touch to the sporty elegance and unique aesthetic of the watch. The strap is cleverly integrated inside the case in order to maintain and extend the curved aspect of the timepiece, the result being a stunning and sporty timepiece with a unique design."
We love its alligator and rubber band, which is elegant, yet very durable and comfortable. Powering the watch is its FM caliber automatic movement with quick-setting date at six o'clock..
We were fortunate to acquire it in such gorgeous all-original condition. It presents as a 9.6 out of 10, and even its original band shows only very slight wear.
Despite what the photos seem to suggest, the original printing on the back is still intact.
A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing. We have timed it on a state-of-the-art computerized system, and it is keeping accurate time.
Included with the purchase is a two-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Don't miss this chance to own one that presents like new for a hardly more than half of its original retail price!

- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!
- The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
- In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
-
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!
- Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
