The moon watch is more timeless but the master compressor has more features and development Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

The JLC. I wish they were still making Master Compressors and AMVOX. JLC had such an interesting selection of sports watches a decade ago, and now it doesn’t seem to be trying.

Jaeger. JLC stopped making this reference sometime ago. A great movement in a great package. A bit more unique than Speedy.

Definitely the JLC for me. But I am biased, I own 2 JLC master compressors and would love to add the one you pictured.

JLC, as much as I love space, space watch, NASA, Speedmaster ...
JLC in this case has the better movement, and being more exclusive. (thats just me)

JLC. Better movement, better water resistance, more features. Overall a way better watch than the speedy.

Both good pieces, but I prefer the anesthetics of the Speedy.

I have both.
The JLC is great. Unique and unmistakable for what it is. Doesn't copy any of the iconic sports watches out there (Sub, RO, Nautilus, etc.) yet still looks good. Easy to wear despite its size (exaggerated with its compressor crowns). Great functionality. But I'd still keep the Speedy if I had to let one of the two go. The Speedy is just near-perfect and a pleasure to wear on the wrist. Better even that a Sub IMO. |

The Speedmaster just looks so right! The JLC is a nice watch but there's a reason the Speedmaster is a classic, just as the Reverso is a classic.

For me, JLC looks more interesting from a dial perspective. Though my issue with the MCs are the oversized crowns. They are just not to my taste and look slightly out of place but I get that’s what you gets with MCs.
The Speedy is pretty classic but for me is too familiar. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
