I'll take the 'regular' face...

I totally agree, get me one please! Best, E.

How come I am not surprised.

That would be something, indeed.

So many superb watches from JLC in that decade.

At the exception of the case. But JLC reworked it, recently ( the case ).

Come on JLC, bring that good old magic back!

Yep, that was a thrilling era.

How's the finishing compared to the Septieme Reverso?

Below, but they were not priced it the same category.

I much prefer the first picture platinum watch. 👍

Aaah, my friend, you know the motto: We don't read time anymore, we admire it. ;)

How poetic, a true connoisseur. A lover boy. Playboy. 😂

Just a little bit.

Lovely watches but the cases are just a little large and not very refined. The dials though are magnificent.

You are totally right. That was the weak part of these watches.

Cool reference for sure. Love that skeletonized model 🔥

I can see why. I would have made the same decision 😉👍

The spirit was too close.

Still lovely after all these years. Now with new shoes.

Wow, my friend, lucky you to own such a great watch. Nice strap you found for it.

True!
