Not a must, but they make great pieces at an attractive price point. I've gone through a few JLCs but this is all that remains.

Same here, great value and love the JLC logo but the pointed hour markers just don't quite do it for me, would save more for a Lange; MP, 1 or Richard.

osamu · 18 September 2015, 06:37 AM

Too many great watches to own, if I had a collection of 5-6+ watches, then yes JLC would be a must own for me, less than that definitely hard to make a case for them over Rolex, AP, PP, ALS, etc.

Celter · 18 September 2015, 05:12 PM

JLC is one of my favorite brands. I've had these:

But now I only have one, the most classic JLC, the Reverso !

Racerdj · 18 September 2015, 09:01 PM

I have looked at some models but haven't seen one I could not live without.

Love the last one!

Duometre is amazing as is the extreme lab 2. Not for everyone but technologically and at the price point they are hard to beat.

Edit: pure coincidence - wearing the 976 today.

Qtip.416 · 19 September 2015, 10:20 AM

Im a fan of the brand.

This will stay in my collection and won't be sold.

I'd like to add a Master Ultra Thin Moon and a modern Memovox in the future.

zama · 19 September 2015, 10:34 AM

I like them but not a must have, unlike the trend I have never been a fan of the reverso, idea is cool the shape is not for me.

p_mcgee · 19 September 2015, 10:46 AM

I've had a Reverso & 2 steel Master Controls. Reverso never fit right & the Master Controls quickly got boring. Some people like the monotone silver dials but I quickly got tired of them. I wouldn't mind having a rose gold piece & some of their high end pieces are pretty amazing as well.

What a great strap combo! Sweet.

Yea I agree, the silver dials can get boring and legibility isn't great. I like their white frosted dials and the eggshell rose gold ones. The MUT Perpetual in white gold has a lovely white grained dial and black nickel indices.

That's a great looking strap! Can you post some more pictures and a wristshot? I'm also wondering which brand the strap is and where you got it?

Dlanz · 20 September 2015, 05:14 AM

Not a lot beats this one for me...

Heo2 · 25 September 2015, 11:48 AM

IMO, JLC makes the best dress watch for the money. The Ultra Thin Moon is on my short list.

That's why they call it the watchmakers watch!

This looks really good on that strap; well done!

B.B.B. · 26 September 2015, 04:11 PM

Not my cup of tea

blah114 · 26 September 2015, 11:03 PM

The reverso is austere, elegant, timeless, wears well, rare compared to subs, and is a must

Hi, what strap is this? Not a casa, right?

Draxler · 26 September 2015, 11:21 PM

Yes, JLC is a "must have"

JJ WA · 26 September 2015, 11:54 PM

I mean, nice watches... MUT, that amazing meteorite dial and so on. But saying JLC is a 'must have' is a bit too much imho. I love many watches and brands out there, but there are only three truly 'must have' brands: PP, AP and Rolex (each for a different reason of course). Others which are ubberly nice, but which I've been able to live without thus far -hardly though- are: ALS and FPJ.

Draxler · 27 September 2015, 12:05 AM

Brunik · 27 September 2015, 01:08 AM

In my opinion yes...

There's a reason that JLC is known as the "watchmaker's watch". I don't know if they belong in every collection but they belong in mine!

Tony64 · 27 September 2015, 11:40 PM

Well made and reasonably priced watches. Many models in stainless without the premium of pm.

manilenyo · 28 September 2015, 12:13 AM

Agree that it's not a must have, but would love to have 1, the one with an alarm, in my small collection.

I have the same watch. Love that strap. Can I ask what it is?

AmbSteve · 28 September 2015, 04:00 PM

I do love my Reverso Grande GMT

The only drawback is they don't come with metal bracelet

They are great watches and they do come on bracelets
