Having hard time deciding!!
Want to add a calendar watch to my daily rotation. But can’t make up which one of these beauties..
Which one would you take? IWC - 42mm, no chrono, costs about 6k JLC - 40mm, w/ chrono Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

JLC.
For some reason I’m not really into the gold hour numerals on the IWC. |

That IWC is the new perpetual calendar and isn’t 6k!

I couldn't do the IWC as 42x14mm is just too big for a dress watch in my book. Different story if it was 10-12mm thick but even then I would not want to wear it as a daily as any 42mm dress watch looks a little ridiculous on my 6.6 inch wrists.
I like the JLC but believe there have been some threads about movement issues with that specific watch recently?! |

The JLC hands down. I saw some pictures of the JLC on different straps and it was strong.

Oddly, the design of the IWC looks like to was inspired by a bangkok night market version of a portugese! would take the JLC, at least it doesn’t look like a cheap copy of itself.

I like the JLC aesthetically a bit more so would go based on that alone.

Aesthetically the IWC, I like the gold hands/gold indexes.
Horological the JLC, because I like them more as a brand, due to history, movement development/movements, etc.... |

Make the decision even more difficult and add the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar into the mix.

JLC. Love the design and this may be a reference that doesn’t take as big of a hit at resale as it’s getting a lot of positive attention.
