.... to experience & see some very nice objects (of desire ?).
I'm sure the hours there were flying and you enjoyed yourself.

As per to the RG & Pt versions, I would assume, that the early ones
are already in several boutiques and maybe on wrists of happy new owners ..

Thx also for your great pics and for sharing your impressions !

Best, my friend ,
hs

PS : as to relative vs absolute feelings of size,
I guess the impression of ".. Hugeness" really
comes from the comparison with the Vintage original,
as on itself, I find her having a very nice size & appeal on the wrist...

Visiting the JLC manufacture

Friends, A few weeks ago I packed my bag light; I was only to bring the essential for one night and one day I jumped on a plane and flew south like the birds in the winter I stayed the night in a nice hotel, a place many of us here know very well I mee...

So, what did you think about the TT Geophysic? Convinced or still dubitative? As for the mismatch in the water resistance of the DSA, I think the good answer is 100 meters. Not 200. Best, Nicolas

Well, I am still thinking about this one...

To visit a Manufacture is a must! :) Then you really understand how complicated it really is to make a watch. Best, my friend Blomman

Reference Number Question...

 
 By: Tim_M : October 14th, 2014-20:11
Hi Blomman, This was a wonderful chronicle of your trip - one I hope to re-trace in the coming year! I do have one question about the reference number on the caseback of the Tribute you handled. It appears that this example was a prototype with the case r... 

Tim, I have no information on this....

Maybe our Moderator can shed some light here for us...? Best Blomman

I think the size of the Tribute is spot on!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 15th, 2014-15:17
38.5 mm is spot on for me! :) But, when you see them side-by-side.... The Tribute looks huge! Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

Many thanks for your nice account

I love your definition of "packing light". ;)

Only the essential...! ;) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 15th, 2014-15:19

Light = one watch box...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 15th, 2014-15:19
Normal = two. Heavy = three....! ;) Thank you, Z! Best Blomman

Here is another Gyro 2 for you, WTM! :)

The "verso" of the Gyro 2 Best Blomman ...  

Thanks Blomman! You really captured the depth of the tourbillon! LIke Nico said

the finish of this is amazing. I'm usually not moved by display cases, but this is a huge exception!

Same here, and for me as well...! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 18th, 2014-06:07
It is on the border of un-wearable.... But of course, if JLC would gift it to me - I would wear it! ;) Best Blomman

I am feeling nostalgic already for this beautiful place.

A Manufacture visit is always ...
