Incidentally, I was one of your fans in the 70's and still listen to your recorded music. I'm also totally in agreement with you as a collector. It's coincidental that I also have the Master Moon like you. The others are RDM, Reverso Grande GMT and a Memovox. I started collecting JLC only a few yrs back but have stopped at the Reverso GMT. Haven't been able to find any of their new models to my taste except some very high end models like the Titanium Repeater, the new Duometre which is beyond my means. I still pine for the Reverso Septantieme, original Sun Moon,Geomatic,Polaris.
I still hold out for hope that MJLC will eventually revert to producing the classic watches.
Right now I'm more interested in the new GO "60" collection and even the new Eterna big date with in-house movt. Just wanted you to know you are not alone and there are a lot of 'us'...esp maybe those baby boomers.

Why not just a sweep seconds hand? From what I can see it would work just fine. JLC seems to be doing this with their new sport watches - rotating discs or similar for the seconds counter. I've been waiting for a new diver that is purpose built, this come...

The Geo one is interesting, but how many pro divers are gonna buy a JLC luxury watch? And conversely how many Rolex owners dive into anything deeper than a swimming pool? That huge lever for the depth gauge will definitely put a lot of guys off who would ...
I know people who DO dive with expensive (relatively) watches

I do know people who dive with the IWC aquatimer (price wise probably not that close, but just illustrating the point), one was a good friend of mine who roughed it up (without really trying) so much that IWC gave him a replacement watch (so much for the ...
