If you come to kl, there are several ad s there. Hope you have the opportunity to do so . Regards tony.
It should be one's collection ain't complete without a JLC  or rather  Have you ever worn a real watch. Regards tony.

No, I have not worn a reverso, or see one in real life. I would really want to thou. Perhaps I'll wait for a gathering, that should be my best bet. Or do anyone know anyplace I can try it on in Kuching? No boutique or AD as far as I know.

Have you tried the dealer at Sarawak Plaza?

No. I'd been to the 1 in Tun Jugah, just many Omegas. I'll check Sarawak Plaza this weekend then.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'd been to KL a few times, but never visit any watch dealer. Anyway, just beginning to exit watch idiot camp, was not aware of fine timepieces before. I wouldn't even know what is JLC a year ago.

Perhaps I'll let you guys know the next time when I'm going there.  :)

For a dressy elegant watch... my vote goes to GO. I've always liked the PanoInverse and Sixties Square in particular.

I dont have a JLC or IWC but I do admire some of their fine timepieces. Maybe in the future...

For GO, try the Dicks*n shop if you're visiting Orchard Road.   

Enjoy your hunt and the watch!

Went to the said shop. Lots of interesting timepiece, even got an AP RO, but no Reverso unfortunately.

Finally decided on the JLC Grande Reverso Duoface.  ;D  Loving it so far.  This is a watch that needs to be appreciated in real life as pictures do not do it justice.

Congratulation! Wear it in good health.

The Grande date was bit too big for my wrist size and I've settled with the grande UT instead and am loving it as well :)

Here's come my legendary pilot mark 12 ! Born after the legendary caliber 89 military grade mark 11. This is the only mark series that beats with a JLC movement!  :thumbsup: JLC in a IWC  :Laughing_on_floor:

JLC - Best from value and brand perspective. Also most recognisable by design so they would be my choice from the list.
