yes, excellent idea...
play a visit to AD during the weekend is excellent idea.
as Kong said, try the watches several times, and choose the one which is calling you after that.
by the way, i see the report that you went to the L'Atelier's openning. looks like a good event.
have good watch hunting in the coming weekend.

I know it’s up to what I like but just wanted some views
I’m looking to pick up a JLC to complement the Ladies Squadra Duetto I bought my wife: I do realize that it will always come down to my personal taste but I nonetheless wanted to tap the insights of JLC owners on what they would get if they already had th...
The eternal debate on round or square
Both have their interest. Among the Reversos you quoted, I'd say that the Grande Date PG would fit the bill. The simple, clean and pure dial is to die for in PG. The movement is nice, and the 8 Days complication is really friendly. When I see the list of ...
Indeed Nicolas, the Eights Days perpetual skeleton is on the list as well
and while it is on the other end of the price scale, at least it is not at the extreme end where the Hybris, Gyros sit.
So, if you have the possiblity, go on it.
You will certainly be madly in love with it, as well as I am with mine! Therefore, you don't have a perpetual calendar in your collection, and this one, with its 8 days power reserve, and its complete calendar, is a superb choice. Best, Nicolas
Well, I do but I can see why perhaps some don;t consider
the Senator Per cal or any per cal for that atter that doesn;t reflect the year as a "complete" per cal. I haven't been fortunate to try this magnificent piece on my wrist but understand that it wears big. I tried the Duometre (very very very nice chrono ...
Yes, you should try it
With its reasonnable size and thickness, that is not a difficult wat to wear. But the most important with the wrist test is that it will immediately tell you if this is a watch for you. You will see if it sings very loud to you! Best, Nicolas
My vote goes to the RG 8 days QP Skelette...
Price consideration aside, this is by far one of the most beautiful pieces made by JLC...
My view...
As you say it is a personal matter, but in this kind of decision making I also like and enjoy to invite the views of others - and here are mine: I personally love the master eight day perpetual. But I must say that I perfer it in Pt as I feel that the way...
Thank you for your thoughts Nikolaj
I usually start my start months in advance of the actual decision and purchase hence this thread to start my JLC ball rolling. I do agree with you on the Grande Date being more formal than the GMT but maybe not so on the size comment but to each his own. ...
MB&F HM2!! My Lord!
That is hi tech for sure! Different and nice! What I personally could not accomodate with the Reverso Grande was the height. But I do have exeptionally small wrists and at some point in time started to develop an anti-reaction to the ever increasing sizes...
The HM 2 MBF is a beautiful UFO!
Congrats! Now that is a spectacular watch. Best, Nicolas
I haven't go the HM2...yet Nicolas
I don't own the Singapore Mint LOL. But as i do take some time to decide, the HM2 is on my shortlist but I'm moving more actively on the Freak 1.0 for now.
here is my personal view too...
hi Arthur, i think since you do not have rentangular watch, going for JLC Reverso will be the right choice and it would match your wife's watch nicely. few weeks ago, i went to AD to try both reverso grande date and reverso grande GMT on my wrist. both wa...
Thanks Stefan. The Grande Date is smaller than the Grande GMT?
I thought they were the same size... well, it's the weekend so I guess I'll pay the AD a visit. And yes, the rectangular shape watch is something I do not have nor one that flips
yes, excellent idea...
play a visit to AD during the weekend is excellent idea. as Kong said, try the watches several times, and choose the one which is calling you after that. by the way, i see the report that you went to the L'Atelier's openning. looks like a good event. have...
I definitely do try and try and try and then some
Sometimes I think the ADs wonder if I am trying their patience but hey... I work hard for my money and I want to be sure when I pull the trigger
Well if it has to be RG/PG...
...then it is difficult to go past this magnificent Reverso, rendered here in all its beauty by the extraordinary photography of SteveG: [photos re-posted without permission but with immense admiration Thanks Steve.] Cheers, pplater....
Thanks. Somehow, designs of past seem to appeal to me
ths together with the Septantieme (spelling?) and Reverso Tourbillon also look good to me.
