Welcome Amanda
I recognize you from the Panerai forum! Like you, I started with Panerai and was essentially obsessed with them. I think I had Panerai blinders for the better part of a year and a half. I purchased a PAM 233 exactly a year ago, and it is still my favorite watch... for now! To be honest, I used to want so many PAM's it wasnt funny. After a while I found myself having interest in only a few Panerai's, 232, 349, 372, and perhaps in the future I will look forward to acquiring them.
After SIHH 2011, I started to take a closer look at JLC: its history, the different product lines, their unique qualities, and I must say I fell in love with the brand. I am waiting to get my first JLC, but have already put a deposit on 3!
I recommend the following:
- Tribute to Reverso 1931 (rose gold / steel)
- Tribute to Deep Sea (Europe / USA)
- Tribute to Polaris (hopefully I can find myself one also!)
As you can see, they are tributes so it has strong ties to JLC's history.
Other pieces you may want to consider are:
- Reverso Squadra Lady Duetto (seen it in person and it is a gorgeous piece with a nifty unique strap changing system)
- Master Memovox
- Master Ultra Thin Moon
Happy hunting!
A confused JLC newbie says hello
Hello JLC fans! This is my first post on purists, so thought I'd drop in and say hello. I've already been chatting with Blomman about his thoughts on various JLC models, he's such an asset to this forum and such a nice guy! Some of you may know me from a ...
re: confused
Hello and welcome, Yes, Blomman is a asset to the community, glad that you have our forum and JLC. The great thing about JLC is that they offer since a nice range of pieces. Since you are in an office environment, a Reverso is a excellent choice and with ...
re: confused
Thanks MW.. yes the TT 1931 is of consideration. I'd probably avoid the NSA Incursion, I'm looking for something a bit sporty but also ok for the office. Maybe that would be a good 3rd JLC to add? uh oh
3rd????
Nothing wrong with thinking ahead! Let us know what you decide and good luck with the search, I know you'll be more than happy with a JLC! -MW
Welcome to the world of JLC
Where it is never an intention to confuse you but merely give you so much to choose from and each watch with such a strong unique appeal. I definitely hear and feel what you are saying cos i face the same dilema as you; Amvox 1, Master Chrono, Reverso TT,...
re: Welcome to the world of JLC
Thanks for your comments Gary. This is the best type of confusion for one to have isn't it? It's so much fun researching a new brand.. the hunt is even more fun, and then the waiting for the new watch to be delivered MORE fun again! Good luck with your de...
The Devil in me leads me to give you these following options of available watches.
The Tribute To Reverso 1931: The Tribute To Deep Sea Alarm: Then The Navy SEALs Alarm may also be an interrsting choice, but a bit bigger, which may not be a problem is you come from the Panerai world. If you want a TT Polaris or a Grande Sun Moon Reverso...
Thanks Nicolas. They are some...
Thanks Nicolas. They are some beauties you have posted there. You are right, I need to be patient and wait for exactly the watch I want! Cheers Amanda
Welcome to PuristSPro
In addition I confirm all the nice things you have said about Blomman. If you loved the Polaris and are sad that a lot of the similar watches you have seem (e.g., Amvox I) are discontinued, then there is one more model that you might consider and that mig...
thanks grigo
I have to say tho, that one doesn't really do it for me. In saying that tho, I'm pretty sure I saw one in the AD cabinet here
Hey Amanda...
Glad to see you here! (from p. com) You have found a nice place full of helpful people and wait until you meet our esteemed Mod for JLC Count Vlad! I am sure he will chime in with helpful advise. In the meantime, I would look at the "featured" JLC posts o...

Hi Rahul
Thanks for the well wishes some of the ladies Reversos are just gorgeous! I must say tho, I've not owned a ladies watch for about oooooh 11 years now! I figure when I get older that I might appreciate them again
Welcome and here are some pics of mine...
it is a stunner in the flesh.... The 8 day power reserve is fantastic and a joy to wind. In fact I might give her an airing tomorrow Andy....
re: Thanks Andy
Exquisite!!! Absolutely stunning Reverso Thanks for the tempting photos!
Good to see you post here, Amanda!
And officially Welcome! Thank you for your kind words – makes me blush… Well as previously said, the AMVOX I or the MCM would really fit the bill. Big, sporty and alarm… But both are discontinued… So patience required to find the one, but it should not be...
re: WOW blomman.. you are killing me with those pics!
I'm 90% certain that I want either the MCM or the Amvox 1 as my first JLC. I think the case shape of the Reverso will be quite a different look for me and given I have a curvy wrist as opposed to flat, I fear the Reverso might take some getting used to. S...
can start with the master control ultra thin ...
34mm, the classic, the one that started it all and also the 38mm, 40mm if u ever fancy ultra thins. i personally like the movement... and everything is "neat", straightforward and to the point. another plus side is it looks low-key and inexpensive. guess ...
Welcome.. Bienvenue .. Benvenuto .. Nice thst you are here, Amanda !
Hello, Amanda ! Just to re- iterate a warm Hello & Welcome to this nice forum, which you will enjoy, I trust. You have got many suggestions, but your likely choice of the Amvox 1 is a great one ! BTW, basically enough - how did you say - "oomph" but a gre...
Re: Welome.. Bienvenue.. Benvenuto
Thanks hs... this brand has so much to offer, this post alone has shown me how much there is to learn about JLC. There really is something for every taste Have to say tho, I'm still smitten by the Amvox 1 in SS.. that hasn't changed one bit Later this wee...
Yep- listen to your inner voice .. And happy you will be ! :)
-- the heart is always right .. Happy hunting, Amanda ! Best, hs.
JLC Squadra GMT
You can go for the Squadra GMT and get the extra crocodile strap to interchange. It is extremely classy in the crocodile at the office. Zap on the rubber for the summer months. I do that on my Squadra.
A little bit country...and a little bit rock 'n roll!
I offer a pic of this one, only because it (and other Master Control series pieces) may meet your requirements: A watch you can wear to work, but still has some weekend sportiness in reserve. I think the bracelet does it. This is the recent Dual Time mode...
Thankyou everyone for your suggestions
and warm welcome. All these pics have cheered me up this morning. I'm now stuck on my sofa for 4 weeks after having ankle surgery on Friday - perfect time to hunt for a JLC I think I'll definitely let you all know what I get and will post pics once my new...
