Thanks Amanico
As my collection grows to an extent that it offers nearly all watch styles that I like, recently I start finding straps to better (imo only) match the dials. It's fun and yet challenging process, of course not comparable to collecting watches itself, but I have been enjoying it
A rubber strap makes the Master Hometime an all-rounded travel watch
I particularly like the strap's dark red inner side which echoes the red tip of home time hand ...

Love your AM version!
And excellent match with the strap. Agreed - it’s a great travel watch. Now I feel like wearing my (non AM) version today.
Thanks Mr Glass
And glad to hear that it brings out your love again in the Hometime. Is your non AM version with the day night indicator with sun and moon on the hand? I love that design a lot
If you want to go symmetrical + exclusivity...
... then you are chasing one of these two versions: JLC Master Hometime Hübner Or JLC Master Hometime Tourneau (Both pictures from watchprosite) Best, É. ...
I didn't see these two variations before!
Thanks for sharing that, and it makes me more curious why JLC stops this great variety line
Top one works perfectly for me
2nd one unique, but date location not my favourite. Thanks for sharing!
I usually prefer symmetry layout too
Your silver dial version looks more sober and elegant than my black one, while the assymetric version has a lively and causal personality. Different fits satisfy different needs!
You are right - those things are so personal
Otherwise we'd all be wearing the one "right" watch no?
Thanks trm_tca
Your observation are still better than mine. I bought this preowned, and the seller didn't mention the AM logo. I only discovered it in after-purchase-research! And it is indeed a nice surprise
This was the "quiet Aston Martin"....
Not listed as #4 (but I believe it was), and subtly included within the regular JLC line - and yet, it was the AM version! Great piece! And the least expensive AM JLC ever made. -Dean
Thanks eklektik
To be honest, I loved the watch but the original alligator strap has too think the padding to be comfortable. Now the rubber strap gives it a new life, and I definitely would wear it more
Thanks Noimalrite
What I knew from internet, this AM version is not a limited edition vs the alarm and the chronograph introduced at the same time. I'm not sure for how long before it discountinued though
