"Golden Age" indeed.

To both your and Alfihar's points, there was a period, spanning roughly the first decade and-a-half of this century, where JLC was on an impressive creative roll. I think of the Master Compressor, Amvox, Reverso Squadra, Reverso Gran' Sport, LAB Series, G

Preowned prices have dropped tremendously!

I pretty much only buy preowned and sometimes new if I have to or want something customized. A good example of what i mean, the duometre used by JLC was ~$20k-ish USD used in 2019 Its STILL ~$20kish used. Once you factor in inflation, it's actually much c

In some ways I agree and in others I disagree

I mostly buy preowned and inflation adjusted, MOST watches are cheaper now than ever. IE the JLC Duometre has been around 20k USD used for the last 5 years. Once you factor inflation in, it’s cheaper than ever. Conversely, MSRP is bonkers for most brands
