Some random pics from my watch shopping yesterday in LA

Watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Memovox, Polaris

The JLC Polaris watches are so beautiful

The new Grey/Blue dial Polaris melts my heart

Who doesn’t love a Lacquered dial

Watch, Vacheron Constantin, Overseas, Dual Time

I’m not a gold watch guy, but holy crap this is stunning! I wanted to get a sense of how the 41mm Overseas felt on my wrist, it’s very comfortable and feels perfect. They didn’t have the Blue dial Dual time to try on, that particular VC appeals to me for a number of reasons. Plus, Vacheron is a phenomenal brand. I’d love to hear from someone on the forum who owns that watch.

Watch, Audemars Piguet, Royal Oak, Royal Oak Chronograph

The green dial AP RO is very subtle

White dial is a classic

When I inquired about delivery timeframes, I was referred to the Aspen Boutique…WhatEver is my thought process.

Watch, Chopard, Alpine Eagle, Cadence 8HF

unfortunately, the store didn’t have dial color ( Maritime & Pink or the XPS ) versions I was most interested in.

The Titanium Chopard was nice

I have one more watch store to visit today.

Watch, Zenith, Defy, Defy Skyline

The Pink Defy is attractive

Watch, Rolex, GMT Master II, 126710

Heading out for dinner.

All very nice, but here I would probably go for the JLC. I am rather unconventional… 🤷🏼‍♂️😁

No Cubitus? 😂

It is a gorgeous watch for sure and there’s nothing wrong with being unconventional. I’m not really a PP guy, so I skipped that store.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks Champ, definitely saw some cool watches.

Wow, but did you bring a souvenir back home?

+1!! (nt)

Nothing that I saw yesterday, but I’m seriously tempted by the VC Overseas blue Dual time.

In the interim, I’m ordering a Longine 42mm gray dial diver, which looks like this blue dial. ...

I’m ordering a Longine gray dial 42mm diver ( it’s not on par with the JLC Polaris ) but I like it. Still considering the Vacheron .

The Longines Legend Diver? Something like that, but in a different version?

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-21:05

...

Exactly, they have a grey dial Legend Diver 42mm with a grey NATO strap. I feel that you’re getting a lot of watch for the price, a real value. Plus, it’s attractive to me.

...

Yes, fairly priced. The only thing I regret is the presence of the date, which didn't exist with the Vintage...

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-21:16

The blue Polaris Memovox is intriguing ... I have a 1968 Tribute but the blue may be a great complement...

Ah, this is the ONE +++

By: j.jota : October 25th, 2024-18:35

That is stunning! I love that dial!

By: Larrykelley11 : October 25th, 2024-20:16

Yes, this is the one to get, vintage apart. ;)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-21:06

Larry I am curious as to why they ask you to go to another AP boutique for the reference you inquired about???

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 25th, 2024-19:04

Yaco, It was odd, to say the least and very disappointing.

By: Larrykelley11 : October 25th, 2024-20:15

I guess, they would rather I speak with the local Aspen ( I live in Colorado ) Boutique and develop a relationship with them? It’s a mystery and kinda soured me towards AP. I’m happy that I have my 41mm AP RO blue dial that I purchased 12 yrs ago, but not...

Zenith!

That dial was nice and great to see it in the flesh.

I like every one pictured.

Oh well, good thing there are many other brand too!

I wouldn’t be soured, actually it’s a good approach to prioritize sales to locals

Lots to like, APs my favourite and why not talk with Aspen 🌳

I did speak with them months ago and received vague answers and lack of interest on their part.

Well, par for the course these days with brands with high demand, enjoy whatever your decision

Thanks and that seems to be the case
