But this one is without a doubt my favourite!

 

 

 

If I had this watch – I would probably look more on the backside then the front…

 

Stunning!

 

 

Thank you, Daos!

...and would definitely be wearing this watch upside down!

Daos, thanks for the additional great reporting and photos from the event.  The West Coast JLC group, staff and fans, is amazing!  I have to get out there sometime.

Well, my favorite of the night remains the AMVOX3.  What a great watch that is.  I agree, the AMVOX2 is still a winner, but I could be very happy with an AMVOX3 on my wrist.  I would have a hard time choosing between the RG and the Pt. versions.  Decisions, decisions.

While I admire the E. LAB 2, for some reason I do not find it as compelling as many other JLCs, and the loss of the silicon escapement really disappointed me.  That should not have happened after the watch was announced. I also think this is an overly expensive  piece.  At that price, there are other JLCs I would choose.  But I have NOT seen this one in person, so I should really reserve judgement until I see one...

The AMVOX5 does not do it for me.  Unlike you, I love world timers, but I feel like the A5 was kind of a disappointment after the first three AMVOXi, each of which represented something really interesting with respect to technology and JLC history. 

So, does the presence of the Boutique edition of the NSA diver in the window mean that there are some stil left for purchase???

By the way, your watch is just beautiful -- it compares well to just about anything else one can name.  You chose wisely. ;-)

Best,

Sorry for being so slow to respond.  It's been hectic over here!  Thanks for the kind words about my AP RO and coverage (luckily MW and Art were there to document the event too) of the evening's festivities.  You must make your way over here at some point to meet our friends at the Beverly Hills boutique. 

The AMVOX 3 is growing on me more and more.  I prefer the platinum version, myself.  Yes, it is sad to hear that the ELab 2 lost its silicon escapement, but there's something really exciting about the watch once you try it on.  I'll look forward to your impressions after you wear the piece.  I found it strangely intoxicating, although too immense for my wrist.  AMVOX 5...sigh...it's pretty, but I fear I'll never grow into it (like I did the AMVOX 3).

As for the BH boutique edition NSAs -- only a few of the gray PVD versions are left.  The black variant is sold out.  The gray PVD NSA is a beauty of a watch, Respo...tempted? 

Cheers,
Daos

probably won't move on it, as I have other priorities.  But for me, the BH Boutique editions are the ones to get for this NSA.  They are just so cool!

Best,

respo

love the photos...looks like i missed a great event...

Hope to see you soon! 

Cheers,
Daos

Thanks Ming.

Hello PAt,

It was very cool to see the AMVOX2 Transponder in action.  The Aston Martin DBS is cool enough but add the JLC and you really feel like 007!

Great looking watches and cars!

 

 

It was many years since I was in B-H, before JLC opened there…

 

Clearly it’s time to make another visit!

When in L.A., make sure you stop by and ask Seth to show you all the cool and unique factory custom straps he has in stock, it'll really make your JLC stand out.  Plus he's a watch guy like us so you'll have a great time.  Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the Post

 

@ Seth, where's my invitation mate ?? you know I love a long-haul flight ;-)

. . . not nearly as good, of course, but let's start with the star attraction in late afternoon light . . .

. . . and the view from across the street after sundown . . .

Are you becoming a JLC Boy, or what?

Best, my friend.

Thanks for sharing Art!

By the way, regarding the brand loyalty thing, I don't see a reason why one couldn't be both an Omega & JLC boy .

. . . for polygamy, too ;-) . . .

quite the number of people here who are comfortably polygamous, myself included . Take our beloved JLC moderator amanico for example, he switches between JLC, Rolex, Omega... without any love lost , it just makes the feelings grow stronger!

...others make surreptitious appearances at watch events like this????  Whew, I thought Iwas the only one. ;-)

Best,

respo

. . . that's always been my style, too!

. . . "Why, certainly, Madame."

Boutique manager James was most obliging . . .

Au naturel . . .

Doesn't look half bad on my small wrist. I'd wear it

Thanks to Kate, James, and especially Seth, for their hospitality.

Cordially, Art
