Is JLC a “must have” in your collection?

I like JLC MASTER compressor , deep sea , AMVOX
and they are gorgeous looking
Is JLC a workhorse?
The only drawback is they don't come with metal bracelet

Nope. I've owned several models but somehow they never quite stick. It is a nice to have, not a must have.

I have this RG Master Geographic on a strap and love it. I usually wear it with a suit.

I have this to wear with a suit occasionally. A nice well made dressy watch. Great value, too.

The closest thing to a must-have would be a reverso

Not a must have but I wouldn't mind picking up an MUT Moon in the future.

I love JLC, I like their vintage and modern pieces, just hasn't been practical for me to add one as of yet.

Yeah me too, I fully get their pedigree as a watch movement maker and all that, but their watches just leaves me alittle bit unsatisfied dunno why. Ive owned a few but always ended up selling them.

Only range in JLC that I like is the Duometre and even that is not a must have.

Love JLC. Own three - vintage Polaris, Deep sea Chronograph, and the Geophysic reissue.
I wouldn't say they're a must own brand, but certainly make some excellent pieces. Especially dress watches in steel in the 7-12K range.

I don't think any watch is a "must have" in the collection.

But for me, I'd love to have one in MY collection.

Maybe not a must but definitely a plus to any collection. One of my favorite brands. Here are a few of mine:
