Nicolas,

Thank you.  I was able to track one down, finally.  It has taken a very long time and I made an offer and it was accepted, although now the seller is having doubts about getting rid of it.  We will wait and see.  I have been looking for this piece forever, so I hope that I don´t need to start all over again.  Well, as they say, the chase is the most fun, so you are right, the addiction will go on.

Have a nice week, my friend Marcelo

Tough question, Pink Panther

 
 By: amanico : April 19th, 2009-22:45
There are so many possible answers. The Romantic answer, like Marcelo's one. The Historical answer; The Polaris, because of its clean and strong look, but it would work with the Black Memovox, or the Deep Sea Alarm, too.... The Elegant answer: The Duo Met... 

Do I really have to choose?

 
 By: amanico : April 20th, 2009-06:27
Wow, my friend, that is really a hard decision to make... But if I had to keep only one, I would have hard time choosing between the Minute Repeater, which is one of the most fantastic watch I know, and the Polaris 65, because of the Story behind. I'd fin...  

beautiful watch...

Really, Marcelo

This was the best given answer, and the nicest one, too. Best, Nicolas

You're the ultimate gentleman, Nicolas!

Easy to answer for me

My favourite style of watch has to have a military style look about it, or designed in the 60s, or have a black face... there's two watches that tick all those boxes for me.... the Polaris or the Tribute to the Polaris. I hope I have the pleasure of ownin... 

Well said, Nicolas!

It would be so hard for me to pick just one as my most favorite!!!! So, I tell you a few of my favorite JLCs. 1. Master Minute Repeater Ti I have no explanation for this beauty just love it 2. AMVOX 2 in Black Ti of course the Vertical trigger 3. Doumetre... 

It always depends what for, but based on what I have, here my top 3

 
 By: PoyFR : April 20th, 2009-05:12
My Amvox R1: comfortable to wear, very good readability and a useful loud alarm. My Amvox 2 concept: comfortable to wear, very good readability and its intuitive chronograph’s operations. My first choice goes to my MMR: it speaks to me, even in tota... 

My favorites...

 
 By: lagauvulin16 : April 21st, 2009-08:49
In no particular order, but because they are mine. 1. Platinum Reverso RDM - because of its understated elegance and nothing looks better under my shirt sleeve 2. Master Calendar - because it is just fun to look at while bored in a meeting 3. Amvox 1 - be... 

Wow, Lagauvulin

 
 By: amanico : April 21st, 2009-12:21
You will get the 70eme in platinum? Excellent catch, my friend. You will have a lot of pleasure and satisfaction with this watch, but I really doubt that it will put an end to your addiction. At the contrary! Best, Nicolas

Maybe...

Although in not pristine condition,I like the Deep Sea Alarm. Much like PinkPanther, mainly because its mine (and happens to be the only JLC I own right now). Apologies for the band being off, I had just received it back from the watchsmith who helped me ...  

This one :-) Simply gorgeous Simply unique

I like the functionality and practicality of the RG GMT. Also not that many watches out there has many of the functions... -Dual time, -moon/sun, -GMT, -8 day PR, -small sec, l -large date, -night/day indicator, -man-wind... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... simply g...  

Surprising answer coming from you...LOL

 
 By: respo : April 22nd, 2009-18:55
I love how much you love this watch, Flipper. But you are right, the RG GMT packs so much into a lovely package. It is one of those examples of JLC's giving you a big bang for the buck. But it also seems to me to be one prime example of a watch in which t... 

That's an easy one...

MUT 34. IMO it synthesizes the very essence of the Manufacture's.

Well said, and very nice choice, indeed!

 
 By: amanico : April 25th, 2009-11:35
The MUT is really the Essence of JLC!!! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-04-25 11:44:04
