Visited the JLC Singapore boutique and got my first JLC!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-05:53
Well ordered rather... The watch is there but I needed a short strap for my small wrist so have to wait for the short strap which will come in around 6 weeks' time. Hence I left the watch at the boutique still. Here are some JLCs I short listed.... Either...
great selection
By: patrickh : May 8th, 2014-06:06
I suppose you finally put your choice for the perpetual 39mm in WG, don't you ;-))) Whatever your final choice all these JLC are great for a collector. Post your wristshot!!! Patrickh
Thanks for the welcome Stefan!

For your kind words Cheers Robin
Well done

I suspect you went for the Chocolat in which case I will join you soon, but whatever you chose, you can't go wrong with any of the four. Dean
That's a very good guess my friend
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-18:47
Will disclose soon in June! Actually my pics have a hint ;) If we look closely enough there is one watch with a slight difference :) Cheers Robin
Haha time to collect bets? ;)
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-18:48
Good guess Damjan. Soon I will disclose what I got! Very excited! But I have to be patient to get the ideal strap I need Cheers Robin
All great choices!
By: respo : May 8th, 2014-07:56
Any guess I make would be a total shot in the dark. So, I will just say what my choice from among these four would be: Rouge. BUT, I really can't wait to see what you chose! Looking forward to the wrist shots, Robin. Best regards, respo
I promise to post wrist shot
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-18:50
The moment I collect it from the jlc boutique and wear it! Thanks respo for sharing in my excitement! Good guess btw but I will disclose only when I get it. Suspense suspense... :p Cheers Robin
congrats and which piece...mmmm..
By: cmclee : May 8th, 2014-07:59
... looking at your existing collection, you already have a rectangular watch bought recently and you had been muttering about perpetual calendar.. So my guess would be the perpetual calendar.. as to the metal..mmmm... that's a tough one because i know yo...
Thank you bro!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-18:52
Yes I have been muttering alot about perpetual calendars lately... since Montblanc showed me their extremely elegant and good value Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar. But the JLC mut 39 pc is also very nice!! Easier to read but also pricier than th...
Good guess!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 8th, 2014-18:54
I have been been fascinated by the rg chocolate reverso since I saw the pics from Nicolas' sihh 2014 post. But the other contenders are very nice too so.... June I will post my new jlc :) Cheers Robin

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yes you know my friend.. being the Vlad, nothing escapes you in the world of JLC! :) Cheers Robin
Rouge!!
By: Sandgroper : May 8th, 2014-23:07
I Robin, I reckon that you've gone for the Red Reverso, the white gold MUT Perpetual is very nice too;) Cheers and congratulations anyone of these is a beauty! Francois from Down Under
They were all beauties and it's hard to choose!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 9th, 2014-17:28
All have their merits including the boutique special edition steel mut perpetual calendar where I didnt post the photo but saw it (the watch is waiting for its owner to collect). I managed to choose the one I feel it's best to start my jlc journey in the ...
My heart says reverso and my brain says chocolate, here's why:
By: watchthatman : May 9th, 2014-04:17
You're waiting 6 weeks, not for a watch, but for a strap. And what kind of strap would take 6 weeks to get to singapore? Now, the two straps you're showing are not created equal: there's a standard alligator, which is beautiful and which is on everything ...
4-6 weeks for Fagliano strap
By: Ano Nuevo : May 9th, 2014-13:40
When I contacted the kind people at Casa Fagliano about getting an oxblood strap for my Reverso Tribute to 1931, U.S. Edition, they told me it would "be ready in one month after order confirmation." I hope that is helpful information. Ano
Wow very logical analysis!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 9th, 2014-17:29
Very good guess too. I like how you deduced :) Will post very soon. Stay tuned ;) Cheers Robin
Congrats!

Did you get the reverso? -MW
Thanks MW!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 9th, 2014-17:24
Will post once I get the watch :) Cheers Robin

Congratulation - of these four, there is no loosing side - all winners! :) Best Blomman
Thank you Blomman!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 9th, 2014-17:31
I think for us watch lovers, there are no losing watches so long as an owner likes them. For JLC.... which is such a popular brand... this is more so the case! Thanks for your kind words my friend Cheers Robin
I think...
By: tudorctin : May 9th, 2014-21:59
As Montblanc has a PC in their current collection, Reverso Rouge should be the best choice. Am I right? Regards, Constantin
Sharp analysis Constantin
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 10th, 2014-03:10
You know I have a heart and passion for Montblanc! To be fair, the JLC MUT 39 perpetual calendar is a stronger offering although it also costs materially more than the Montblanc Meisterstuck Heritage perpetual calendar. Price/Value to quality ratio wise, ...
Congrats on your new piece
By: Seeks : May 10th, 2014-10:03
Congrats on your new piece and welcome to the club! Waiting for your next post! (reverso?) cheers -- Seeks
it was indeed very hard to choose amongst the 4
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 11th, 2014-08:00
All were good in their own right. I also had to think of my current collection and pieces I plan to add in future when buying this first jlc.... But in the end one of them just stood out and caught my heart. I just couldn't resist! Thanks for your kind co...
