A fantastic piece
This watch has so many interesting features besides all its functions:
The stepped dial
The intersection of the minutes track with the seconds track on the “lower step”
The cutaway section in the hour and minutes hands to reveal the “don’t adjust” indicator
Etc.
I understand your well-written story about moving through multiple JLCs as I have done the same — for example, I really liked the Reverso Squadra but it was like wearing a block of wood on my wrist. And my Grande Date was fine but when a Grande GMT appeared, I couldn’t resist … and so it goes.

a true masterpiece
That's quite an honest and interesting journey. There is so much diversity throughout the JLC brand, which always made me think I could happily live with only one brand. Enjoy this beauty.
Thank you Sir Bogey.
I'm in complete agreement about JLC's diversity. Will definitely be enjoying this one for a long while!
Thank you my dear friend!

It's absolutely an amazing watch with all kinds of intersting designs and mechanics. Congratulations on a great find. (I had the same kind of experience with JLC, meaning the "3rd time is a charm". Mine was with the Reverso Duo versions, now having owned ...
Thank you for shaing your story as well Ron!
I'm still very much in love with the Reverso, though it doesn't change that fact that it doesn't suit me. You're fortunate to be able to carry it off!

Thank you Cazalea!
You are making me jealous with the fantastic shots of your Grande GMT! I can't carry it off as well as you do, definitely.
Wow! One day a tourbillion will hopefullly grace my wrist as well
Beautiful choice and wonderful story. Love tourbillions that double as the small seconds indicator.
I'm already looking forward to your wristshots my friend!
And I'm sure your selection criteria will be of very high standards.
