Frank Muller ?
Discussion
I've got a Franck Muller Casablanca 8885 C CC DT - polished steel, on black rubber (and I currently have it on a Toshi brown leather strap).
I'd previously always though these watches a bit 'shouty' and 'footballerish'. And indeed some of the range are.
However, when I went to try them on, I was impressed with the quality and the fact that some of the models are more subtle looking. But be in no doubt, given the size these are still a 'statement' watch (whether people know what they're looking at or not).
I think my (extremely kind and generous!) wife got mine from Watches of Switzerland on Old Bond Street in London. - this is certainly where I tried them on.

I have been tempted by a FM Crazy Hours in the past - but I know it is really a novelty watch, albeit a clever one.
Yeah, this is me, too. I was tempted in a theoretical sense - I can't afford one - but I was tempted, nonetheless. Very clever.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcjaDS6hLfc
But then I realise that I don't like how it looks, at all.

to be honest old chap i dont think you'll find many new FM for under £5k.
it was on the main street in barcelona a jewlers but we were in a rush to pick up the mrs rolex so didnt stop kicking myself now.J
It might have been a Conquistador but they tended to be ladies models.
Blowers have a few floating around and they're a good indication of S/H pricing on legit models: Blowers
