I can understand, that some people might Not like these reinventions of old themes by JLC. I do like them . Until the geophysic 1958, i was interested in JLC, but there was no watch in their current collection, that I really wanted to buy. Since the introduction of the geophysic collection however, JLC has brought so many nice watches to the market, that I have Trouble to decide, which one to buy. These are no exception. I think, I'd Go for the simple Polaris Automatic in either black or blue or the polaris memovox.
