« on: May 07, 2012, 01:36:13 AM »
I agree with gapnap that we need to show more passion for JLC to counter the recent infusion of PAM poison.

 :Cheers:

Well , we need one  ;D

Proud JLC owners - show us your JLC !

I will start with mine .

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox



Jaeger LeCoultre ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH MOONPHASE



I have another Reserve De Marche , will take pics later .

My Current Grail List :

Jaeger LeCoultre Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire - Long way to go .

I'm afraid it's not as poisonous as the PAM club which incidentally also have approximately similar entrance fees.

I would love the Tribute to Deepsea but the entrance fee is also too much for me at the moment...  :P

Hi All,

I am so glad that Gapnap has started this post since I have been doing some light surfing on JLC watches lately.

I am not a JLC member just yet. I am very much interested in the NAVY SEALs edition watches (because they are limited edition like Panerai).  However, these NAVE SEALs watches are more sporty and complicated (those with chronograph and GMT functions).

I am curious to know for all the JLC owners and lovers, would you guys prefer a SIMPLE dial or COMPLICATED dial.  SPORTY or ELEGANT look?  By comparing to Panerai, most (if not all) Panerai enthusiast loves the SIMPLE dial and the more SIMPLE the better.

I know it may all down to personal preferences.  But in terms of retaining value and whether it is of collectible value, I would be grateful if JLC lovers could share their passions and views on this. Thank you.

Kind regards,
Wilson

The poison here is too much. Just out of curiosity. What motivated you to go the Jaeger route? Have you guys got tonnes of Rolex-es and Panerai and trying something new? I am toying with the idea of flipping one of the latter brands for a jaeger and need some extra push to go all the way.

i've also been eyeing that JLC Master Control Chronograph in rose gold ever since i saw one at the Bukit Bintang boutique. so lucky i don't like anywhere near KL or else the temptation would be too strong. the very smart SA there gave me a thick book to ogle the pictures while i dream of owning it some day.

Actually my 1st WIS watch is a JLC. I have avoided Rolex for a long time  :-\ until 3 years ago. The Panerai thing is recent.

JLC is the best value for money if you ever go for highend horology. Remember the holy trinity? AP PP VC. JLC is the main supplier of movement to them. JLC done almost all but  chronograph for these 3 brands.

JLC is selling at lower price because they need to make a lot of watch and to do that they need to keep the cost down. That's why the finishes are less perfect than a PP (not always thou some are better) but there's more innovation in JLC than any of the holy trinity.

JLC concerntrate making good watches, the holy trinity concerntrate on making good looking watches.  You get what I mean  ::)

I will always opt for a classic JLC , or iconic JLC .

Here are my preference :

1.Complications
2.Memovox
3.Power reserve

Doesn't matter if it is a Reverso , AMVOX or a Master Compressor . Each series serve different purposes .

Didn't went through the Rolex , PAM route . Straight away a Jaeger man .
For me , Jaeger LeCoultre speaks to me , it describes my personality (as a JLC wearer) .
The brand inspires me to be all i can be , and to be the best in what i do .

That is my motivation :)

In many ways, JLC represents me.

Can't agree more for what been said by Godzillaz and gapnap.

I just love simplicity in life and complications do add colours in life. But again, that's just me.

Kudos to all the JLC owners.  :thumbsup: I also highly rate the watches produced by JLC and am looking forward to own one, if possible, in the near future. Please keep the poison coming by the way.  :Cheers:

For me, JLC always brings to mind the Reverso.
It is the iconic JLC.



In my case the first 8 day is a variation complication.




Thi is a big watch if you measure lug to lug, as long as a Panerai.

what a beautiful looking watch.

I would consider getting a Grande Reverso Duo or the 976 if I can find a nice used one.
