New addition

So I have been looking for a new watch to add to my collection and finally pulled the trigger on a Jaeger -Le-Coultre Master Compressor Ceramic, limited to 500 pieces.

I have been asking questions on here on many brands and everyone has been so friendly and helpful as usual, anyway here are a couple of iPhone pics of my new JLC

Cool looking.
Are the crown and pushers SS?
How about the case back?

A black strap with red stitching would look killer on that piece.

Thanks all, ESM, the back is SS and the pushers I think are metal but have a brushed finish that makes them feel like the rest of the case (ceramic). I plan to post some better pictures once I get some time to dig the camera out.

Awesome. I love the JLC crown system on their Master Compressor series.

How do you like it?

Congrats.

I'm not a big fan of their sports watches, but that one looks real nice.

I am loving the watch and crown system, also a very comfortable watch to wear, amazing strap and a lot lighter than my other pieces.
