Watch enthusiast reacts to his 1st Swiss made watch, Frederique Constant Highlife ***UNBOXING***

Hey guys, its that time again for another upload to hit your eyeballs, my name is Troy, I'm bald and I collect watches.

If you are a regular viewer of my videos and subscribed to the channel you will see that I mainly showcase, unbox and review affordable watches, this time though it's a little different,

I'm unboxing a swiss made timepiece from Frederique Constant, the Frederique Constant Highlife is a swiss made watch with an in house COSC certified automatic movement, giving me great accuracy for such a beautiful timepiece.

During my video's I have said my channel is focused on affordable watches because the channel is focused on my watch collecting journey, something I'm very happy to share with you guys.

So let me know, what do you think of my choice? if you were to buy your first Swiss timepiece what would you choose? also let me know if you have one in your collection what was your 1st swiss made timepiece.

I'm still floating on cloud 9 with this choice, I love this hobby and as always guys thank you for taking the time to view my video's.

We are so close to 500 subscribers so make sure to keep an eye out because when we hit it I will be having a giveaway, so keep those eyes peeled.

Congrats on the purchase. The FC Highlife is an absolutely gorgeous watch and offers so much value for money. I had the pleasure of owning it for a while, it oozes quality and the finishing is really nice too. Hopefully more buyers seriously consider FC as their next purchase

Beautiful piece! I have two FC watches and both have been nothing but amazing.

Got my blue one in April. It's not my first Swiss, nor even my first Frederique Constant. It's such a versatile watch with with the rubber. I also got the blue suede effect as well.

Bracelet is a smudge and scratch magnet on the polished centres, which is my only gripe.

Beautiful piece, congratulations 🎉. Really enjoyed your view on this one. Gave you a sub, and all the best with everything.

Congrats on the new purchase Troy, very nice and I’d wear it on the stainless steel bracelet. Only thing that would bother me is the way it will collect finger print marks.
I look forward to your review 👍

I love Frederique Constant. I think it is quite underappreciated

[ahusanhilmy]

hello, is the AR coating on the underside or topside ? i have found that having the coating on the top is diadvantageous as it wears off leaving blemishes.

nice purchase and congrats 🙌🏽

just recieved mine today bought from jura watches with a discount code, over the moon i got the blue dial looks best on blue strap. definately a sports watch not a dress watch

[ehoovernyc]

Great brand and fantastic watch. It is however not in house as an ETA or Sellita based movement. None the less a fantastic movement and he'll yes COSC certified. I want this watch as I already have a few FC 710 in house watches but live the Highlife! They do now offer the Highlife with the new Monolithic movement as well as Perpetual Calendar. Thanks for the video and congratulations on a beautiful watch and great buy!

Congrats on the watch! Very beautiful!

I was considering the blue one, but after seeing this, I may want to get this one instead....?!

I just got my Tudor Black Bay GMT as my first Automatic watch... now I'm looking for a litte more "dressy" watch. I'm torn between the Highlife Heart Beat and the Highlife COSC. I really like the Heart Beat design, if it was COSC certified it would be an instant buy.

hey, whats the dial size and reference number?

I wonder how the gold plating will hold over time
