sleep on it ... don't be tempted for the price alone ... impulse buying ... breath in ... breath out ...

What do u guys think?

Been offered a full set, mint Dualmatic for SGD 6.3k. Is it reasonable? Kinda like the calibre, looks and function.

Finally !!! Been hunting this for months .... !!!

Very niceeee amvox

akunawe · « **Reply #78 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:16:59 PM »

Nice to hear that.

Initially, Amvox 5 (Q193J471) and Amvox 7 (Q194T470) were also considered. To my eyes, I tend to feel that both models were 'too crowded' hence Amvox 2 was choosen which of course had my undivided attention since I started the JLC path months ago. But who knows, I might appreciate more on both models in future especially with the Amvox 7. Well, that's another story.

As for Amvox 2, let it be the titanium or the black pvd titanium, both are getting harder to get. My best wishes and happy hunting!

Oh yeah, Amvox 1 is indeed would be a good catch.

One of my favorite chrono, and also the most innovative IMO

definitely on my wishlist...including the AMVOX1

wear it in good health

akunawe,

nice Amvox..If I can find an Amvox Ti, I'd be very tempted.....just like the dark grey metal look…
Care to share if this was bought pre-owned and from an online shop or direct seller through the net?
And the ball park price you paid for it?
Thanks..

akunawe · « **Reply #80 on:** July 14, 2012, 04:47:31 PM »

Hi JOS2012!

It was bought new from a local AD here just couple of days ago. Pricewise, I don't know whether this forum allows members to share on the price, but to be safe here, I paid somewhere RM33-35k. Here's the model # Q192T440. Hope that helps.

Have a look at Amvox 7. U might like it.

just a question out of the topic...

any of u guys know how much does it cost to buy the articulated rubber strap for the reverso squadra hometime?

thankssss

JOS2012 · « **Reply #82 on:** July 16, 2012, 10:30:15 AM »

I do not know abt the Squadra but I happened to ask about the JLC NS Diving models articulated rubber bracelet.
The look, comfort and feel is really amazing and the cost is even more amazing.....RM 6,500.00 (nett) extra if you choose this bracelet over the cheapest option of leather strap with buckle.
Most regular metal bracelets from top brands like JLC will cost you about RM 2,500-3,000 if compared to the leather strap models but the articulated strap is very hi-tech....the metal is rubber coated.

You have to pay to play at this level...

nuartogel · « **Reply #83 on:** July 16, 2012, 11:33:50 AM »

yeah the articulated rubber looks stunning and it is really really comfy. my second option would be the leather, i think it would cost me ard 1k plus

yeah its really an expensive pool to play. hahaha. thanks neway

akunawe · « **Reply #84 on:** July 16, 2012, 01:20:27 PM »

Can't agree more with JOS2012.

My view.

For future JLC purchase, that say if budget permits and interest is on the articulated rubber, then, I would strongly advice to go for it given that we will also be saving on the cost of articulated rubber strap due to the discount given when buying with the timepiece compared if we were to buy it separately.

To me, the articulated rubber has a unique nice appearance and feel, really comfortable on the wrist and easy maintenance in the long run.

I was fortunate to own one of the NS series with the articulated rubber and have been loving it ever since I bought it few months back.

Just my 2 cents.

Used to own a JLC squadra chrono, reverso and an RDM. The RDM is the best of the lot. Unfortunately i sold it all in purchasing one watch for another. Now looking at getting back into JLC. Just love the history of it all. Definitely the most underated manufacturer in terms of price. A bit on history, they almost bought over Patek in the early 20 th century before it being sold to The family of the present owners

takashi78 · « **Reply #86 on:** August 09, 2012, 10:06:18 AM »

Underrated? Hardly.

Greetings from a proud owner of an Amvox1, Squadra and TT1931 !!! JLC rocks

Meor72 · « **Reply #88 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:58:15 PM »

Hi takashi

Underrated if you compare it with other manufacturers such as AP, PP etc.

foowy · « **Reply #89 on:** August 16, 2012, 11:12:54 AM »

If you meant underated in terms of the quality one gets considering the much lower price...then yes JLC is THE manufacture to go for in terms of value....the way I see it, its just a matter of time JLC catches up and so far they've been doing a good job.

Congratulations James. Great choice, great watch.

Older alarm says 'Hello'. They say the alarm sounds better in a titanium case?

?

Thanks bro. I'm not sure really..this is my first watch with an alarm...but i read in timezone that the buzzing is indeed different for the different JLC alarm models.

Was on the JLC NS Diving Alarm as per below

My JLC Reverso Grande GMT was sent back to MJLC at Le Sentier for its scheduled service and took 5 months

but it came back brand new...

except my strap which is well-used..

Just collected yesterday evening from JLC Boutique Starhill and am very very happy with the quality of the work done...

JLC rockss..

I was told by JLC Boutique that all the 3 previous 8-day Reversos models are no longer in production. The only 8-day movements are now in Master Control range only, so I was advised to keep the Grande GMT as prices are supposed to go up.

G.MAC · « **Reply #98 on:** October 13, 2012, 11:04:15 AM »

Am going to join Le Club very soon. Just put down a deposit for a JLC. Quick question. Which would you go for? I am given a choice between the JLC MC Navy Seal and the JLC MC Navy Seal Diving Alarm. Is the alarm version worth going for? Right now the deposit is on the non-alarm version but I can always move it to the alarm version at any time.
