NoH introduces his Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph Valentino Rossi edition, a limited-edition rose gold timepiece that holds significant personal value. His post delves into the watch's substantial presence on the wrist and its aesthetic appeal, prompting a discussion on strap choices and future acquisitions within the JLC family.

Hi all,
I've been an ardent (if silent) follower of these great forums since 2010. I really appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge, opinions and great wrist shots. In good times, and challenging ones, I've found that a quick review of the various posts immediately puts me in a good mood...so thanks to all!

I hope you don't mind me sharing my pride and joy with you.
Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph - Valentino Rossi edition, limited to 246 in rose gold smile






Of course, at 46mm x 16mm it's quite a hefty watch to wear...and difficult to fit under a good shirt cuff...but nonetheless I love it and wear it a lot smile)


I also love the contrast between the RG and Titanium, and the warmth of the gold's colour in different lights.




I hope you don't mind my gratuitous iPhone shots wink




Need to also order a new strap...will be done shortly! 
Has anyone got advice on whether I should go for the standard JLC strap(s) again for this model, or whether there is a good alternative from another supplier?
I'd plan to keep the rg deployment clasp in use on whichever I switch to.




I still stop to stare every time I go to read the time.

Though in saying that, I have the itch to add something new... Perhaps the new steel Master Control Chronograph?? What do you think??


All the very best, and happy Saturday.

NoH

An extremely nice watch that you have, too. I love the look of that JLC but as you note, it takes a strong wrist to carry it around. I trust the little ones don't play with it when you are not looking? Cheers, Cazalea

And excellent pictures especially from an iPhone.

Mercifully my kids are still at ages where Spider-Man and Princesses completely out-rank JLC ...but they're certainly catching the watch-bug...

Though I can assure you, they weren't the first attempt pictures! I had the recent most amazing pleasure and privilege to see a couple of Greubel Forseys in Paris, but the iPhone was definitely not the best tool for the job on that occasion. The memory remains clearly burnt into my mind however!!!

I hope you've remembered to keep the boxes and papers for the other two watches! Regards, Kev
