Wow, you've got a lovely model! A unique one maybe? How did you get hold of it (if you can say...). Thanks for sharing your nice photos and the close-ups!! Both sides are worth a close look! Best, E.
I was interested in this watch h since it was introduced but did not have the means to buy it at that time.
Two years ago (and knowing the pictures of the prototypes by amanico) is saw one on offer in Belgium and bought it from a grey market dealer who was not knowing what he is selling 😄 As far as I know there are only 2 other pictures of this watch with this prototype dial in the whole internet (plus the one from amanico in the factory) with mine being the only one on the steel bracelet which is a marvel in itself. My movement does not have the holes in the main bridge to hold the small decorative bridge so it must be by purpose. This message has been edited by India Whiskey Charlie on 2024-06-19 18:07:20
Fascinating story! I wonder how JLC let this one slip through! And it is always good to hear that we can get some bargains sometimes ;) It makes the story even better! Best, E.
That would be interesting to know.
Maybe I go to the JLC boutique in Munich to have its history checked. The watch is registered on the JLC website and is legit. Still good to know how this could happen.
Aside from this it also fits very well to the other 2 watches and forms a gradient of how smooth the second hand is running 😅
- Co-Axial escapement (Omega)
- Spring Drive with super smooth running seconds hand (Grand Seiko)
