Hi everyone,

Today I added another watch to my small collection. It's a beautiful preowned Frederique Constant Highlife. This is a smaller version of Highlife, it's 39mm (I actually measured it 38.5mm). I could not find a single review on Youtube or anywhere else of this smaller version. Every single review I saw reviewed the 41mm version. Also, this one is a different shade of blue. A little darker with a touch of grey mixed in. The globe pattern on the dial actually looks much better in real life.

I was a bit worried when I ordered the watch on Chrono24 that scratches and couple of small dings would be very visible. But apparently they were only visible on sellers macro shots. I can't even see them with the naked eye. There are just some signs of normal wear. Watch is still in warranty and came with box and all papers and extra strap and extra links.

I will post a wrist shot later. I have to size the bracelet first.

Here are some pictures of my new watch. (I edited out serial number to avoid any scammers)

Nice! I've been tempted by this one whenever I go to our dealer. Congratulations on a nice addition to your collection.

Very nice! I'm surprised by the measurements...I thought it was 40mm

Very nice. Congrats. I'm VERY tempted by the Highlife Perpetual Calendar.

See, you were worried about nothing. Congrats!

Congrats and very nice — I think, I may prefer the strap that came with it over the bracelet. Enjoy your FC Highlife.

Looks great! I really like that shade of blue, and with the globe detail with applied indices, it has really alluring depth.

Congrats !

I look forward to seeing wrist pictures of it when you decide to contribute to the daily WRUW threads.

More photos on the wrist please. I really have had my eye on one of these. What a cool watch.

Every time I see one of these I kick myself for not buying the used one I found at a pawn shop.

 

[grafiz]

Ohhhhh... okay, I like this more than I thought I would, your pictures really sell it. Hmmm, what to do what to do.

Enjoy it!!!

 

[Nokie]

Very sweet. Really like the dial color.

Hope you enjoy it.

Congrats. Beautiful watch by a good company. I had an FC about 4 years ago I reluctantly sold.
