Hello JLC-fans, Most of you might think of me as a hard-core vintage nut... Well, I am! But, when I look into my watch box, I do see some modern watches as well. One thing I find interesting is that of the few JLC watches I have bought new from AD since 2...
Enjoy, Chris! :) Many of us here do have one or more TT JLC's... Hope they will join! And maybe you will be convinced to join us soon...? ;) Best Blomman
greetings all..after much lurking and enjoying the banter, I finally decided to join.... I love all JLC's especially the TT as I have managed to own, TT DSA American, and TT 1931 Reverso, limited edition Casa fagliano strap ( black ). and would love to ad...

From this summer … Since then I went back to the black croc strap. I like this picture a lot … but I just wish I flew a company that cleans its windows better ;-) ...
.. One for All , and All for One ! Guess, there may be only one .. Unless Dr Mamadu does something magic ! Looking patiently forward to that, my friend .. Best, hs En garde , mes amis ! .. Best, hs PS: X minus 5 days (until SIHH) ...
I feel so fortunate and humbled to even own these pieces, and now even more fortunate to be able to share with all of you...thank you for making me feel so welcomed.... I am quite new to this hobby and I truly hope to learn more from all the esteemed watc...
Hope, dear Blomman, that's still ok - and not too late ;) I guess, you remember some hilarious days , when the first DSA ( EU it was) arrived.. .. in Paris .. City of lights, city with friends.. Some reflections.. in front of a (well known) certain jardin...
How could I forget?! Such a great moment! :) Well, never too late - especially to this post as I will go on for one week. This was only day #1... Best, dear friend Blomman
.. finally try to get the TTP 65, as I unfortunately had missed the SS- version from the Paris Boutique; the P,atinum one was beyond my reach.. Welll, for the moment I am lookng forward, to what the SIHH will unveil. - and I also neanwhile developed some ...
I agree with you that they are great looking watches but as a vintage collector, I am wondering how these "fake" old watches will age. They already pretends to be old... How will a fake patina looks in 20 or 30 years (patina on patina)?... These watches w...
Hello Goldenlutin, Interesting to read your thoughts on the subject. I am no pure vintage watch collector. So my thoughts are a bit different... Guess I am more like Dexter, living two lifes... But in my case it's more one foot in the past and one in the ...
.. I LOVE the Tribute idea and making of It brings back The Spirit of these distant older times; Yes, its re-Edition , but if done carefully, coherent and faithful to the Originals, these are very nice endeavours ; And , same as you, if JLC ever does some...
First of all, I am happy that people enjoy their re-editions. My point was just to say that in an historic perspective, these re-editions do not refer to the period we do live in but to the past. That is why I wrote that they don't have an own story to te...
But, that is the great thing with this forum - we are all entitled to our own opinions. And there is no rule that we all have to agree. But, I must ask since your argument is that if you change something when making a new version it is OK, but not OK to m...
These Tributes have another mission: To allow people to discover the past of a brand. If some didn't know the Polaris before its re edition, many more didn't know the the Deep Sea Alarm existed. To revisit the past helps to visit, to know it. Can we compl...
Dear Nicolas, Sorry for the late answer. Yes, I do own a few modern JLC. As an example, I own a Reverso Duoface (first execution). I like it because indications on both sides of the case where not available in the 30ies (except the Movado chronograph prot...
LOVE this one, GL. Always wanted to do the pair with the rectangular sister, which I also missed the very same day. Both black dials. Some more to show? ;) Best, Nicolas
While I understand your reasoning, to call these watches " fake" is quite inaccurate and offensive. I myself was not born early enough to be able to purchase these watches at their original releases. I'm however thankful that JLC was able to offer these "...
Most of thre current JLC production has a strong link with the padt, and can be considered as Homages or Tributes. I hear you as a vinage collector, I totally agree with you that nothing will replace vintage watches. Are these Tribute here to replace the ...
