Patience is a virtue – Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic E 168

Nov 15, 2016,14:36 PM
 

Friends,

 

We often read about people’s frustration over long service times…

A few weeks, a few months, maybe a year…

Not always the wanted results…

High service fees…

Yes, we heard it all.

This is not one of these stories, I will not go into any details.

 

All I can say is that patience is a virtue. As a vintage collector, this is mandatory.

 

I started my journey to service my set of Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophyisic’s E 168 on the 22nd of September 2014.

Since then, they have travelled to multiple countries, multiple watchmakers, had progress and setbacks.

 

Their journey has now come to an end.

On the 8th of November, this year I received them back.

 


 

 


Now they are home to stay.


Best

Blomman

What history there! But how can you tease us with "no details" about their journey around the world?

I just did....

...Triptych!! They are gorgeous pieces. I was in my local AD only last week, looking at admiringly at the new one - wow. No comparison to the originals though. Patience, as you say... Congrats Julian

Yes, patience is a virtue!

Somehow I didn't see this post earlier. I actually saved the pictures. These to me are almost museum pieces. Any one of these would be the crown jewel of my collection. Feel free to share endless wrist shots so the rest of us may live vicariously through ... 

Thank you, Sentarex
