But Hi everyone, I walked Into a shop recently and they had what he believes to be a custom 1/1 Franck Muller. It’s clearly a model I have seen, but not this exact combo. What do you guys think?

seems to be all original, not in the greatest shape; clearly it was loved which makes it cool in a way. He wants a crazy amount for it, but would be curious what you guys thought about it.

Thanks for the help,
Mike

 

I would do a lot more research before dropping any coin on a FM piece.

 

Oh 100%; I dont think I would End up buying this. It’s not my style. Definitely a super hard sell in the future.
Just seemed super unique and was curious if there is a way to tell if this really is a 1/1 piece.
I see Plenty of FM’s like it. But not the same color combo.
Thanks for the response though. Greatly appreciate the advice!

 

I’m known nothing of FM really, but my impression is there are many such 1/1 because they make a different color combo, jewel type, etc.?

 

Well the back says number 18...

master of complications with just a center second?

 

Good point. Again, not my swim lane at all. Figured I could Post it, see what people think. If anything I think It’s fun to see new things.
AppreciAte the response

 

It looks fake to me. I’m not so familiar with the model but a search of other 6850 SC DP’s show this

 

Those diamonds don't look original to me, the settings are crude. Looks like they were added later.

 

It can’t be 1/1 as caseback would say so. Dial looks off to me, particularly when looking at the post showing other models. I’m an old-school FM fan, but this looks suspicious.
