Checking in!

So Glad to finally join this wonderful club! A true classic IMHO. Not everyone likes the art deco style, but once you do, there's no turning back.

Here you go:



Coffee beans and that Choco dial... just hmmmm!





Some wrist shots





Love this watch! Have a nice day everyone!

Fitted a bracelet to my JLC Grande Reverso Duo tonight... not sure what I think yet...

The bracelet is an inexpensive one from eBay, but if I like it I may enquire at my JLC AD about getting an authentic one... I may die when I hear the price for it though.

Here's mine. I love it and I particularly love the magnificent retrograde chronograph movement.

Great pics!

That retrograde chronograph is cool, I've never seen that Reverso before.

At a red light. Mesmerized by the juxtaposition of the contrasting lighter guilloche center against the darker satin silver outer dial.

Tried this on the other day. Absolutely beautiful, and the strap was ridiculously comfortable!

How lucky am I to have such a problem: The JLC Reverso Duo, or the Rolex Explorer II, polar. Both will provide the GMT function, but one is a larger-sized classic, the other a more comfortable "all on one dial" Rolex. The Explorer II movement is really solid, and JLC is a real contender, and the art deco numerals are stunning. Already have a submarnier (blue/gold-silver), pan 312, IWC Port, and Omega deVille. Should I go Iconic or solid Rolex? Such a problem.

Two very different watches. I personally like the JLC better.

But if you are looking for a vacation watch - Exp II. If you are looking for a watch for business travel - JLC.
