Help me pick

Having a super crazy time going back
And fourth between these 3. Need to choose since I have good deals for any of them. I have the wrist size FYI.

1. Roger Dubuis Easy Diver 46mm


2. JLC master compressor chrono 41mm


3. JLC master Compressor Extreme World chrono 46mm

I also prefer the simpler JLC (#2). I’m a chronograph fan, so the RoDub is not a contender.

I owned #3 many many years ago. If your wrist can handle it, which you state it can, then that’d be my choice.

I vote 3

JLC makes a less sporty chrono that I personally prefer, but that was not one of the choices. The Master Chronograph.

i have the jlc master compressor chronograph 2

very solid watch with awesome design.

of the three i would have to go with the jlc master compressor chrono 1

but if you get get the later version it would be worth it.

Not many Roger Dubuis easy diver fans. Surprised by that being that it is a Geneva seal

RD for me, that’s a great watch with an beautifully finished movements and a steal at current market prices. Only caveat is the size but you’ve already factored that in.

I just noticed this...

The RoDub has writing on the dial. It ACTUALLY says, “Sports Activity Watch.”

Seriously? Does anyone else find that odd? Are there other models designed for specific activity? Like “Drinking Activity Watch” or “Driving Activity Watch?” (Of course it would be ill advised to wear both of those at the same time...)

I hear people just call it SAW. Thought it was funny too at first but now I kinda like it- the whole thing of “just for friends” club

I like #2 personally.

Appreciate that this is easier said than done, especially as you have stated that you are going back and forth to all 3. I have been in the same scenario many times.

However get the one that sings to you the most. Each and every one of us can tell you which one we like the look of but that will be for a multitude of reasons/personal preferences etc....

#1 would be my second choice, and the more i look at them the more I am starting to change my tune to that one.

Of those three I would choose the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Not on your list, but neither was the Rolex Air King you bought. What happened? Holiday shopping get out of control?
