Two temptations I spotted yesterday
Yesterday, for the first time I saw a Bumpermatic in the metal, and I loved the way it looked. I have my doubts about the crown, since in what photos I've been able to find the crowns are not that large in diameter in comparison to the case. If anyone would like to share their thoughts on this example, I'd appreciate it. I've lately developed a weakness for small, yellow dressier timepieces.
I also saw a black dial RDM with bracelet, which I really like as a package. I love the grey/white dauphine hands on the black face. In general, I love round JLCs with black dials, from the RDM to the Master 8 Days to the Aston Martin Hometime (not to forget Duometre). Master 8 days with the big date and the moon/sun day night indicator may be my favorite attainable example, but there is an elegant balance to this RDM. Thanks for looking!

I would go for a stainless steel Powermatic Jumbo, or for this black RDM.
Or better, for both. You have the ancester, with the Powermatic, and the talented Grandson with the RDM. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
A very different look, but I like the shape of the hour and minute hands, and the blue
seconds. Perhaps the grandfather of the Master Control Date?
Ahhh.. This Jumbo Powermatic is indeed my piece of cake.. Also as..
.. "Genetically" it's somehow close to the Futurematic and to the 3-hands - pieces of that period. The Jumbo version makes a lot of difference & attractiveness !! Hmmh..something to keep in mind, maybe .. Thx for sharing, Best, hs
Yes, I realized after your showing me a while ago.. But, no doubt- it's indeed quite cool !!
..and BTW - I have to hunt other targets, as well : - on top of Vintage JLC for me in 2015 remains .. ..well, the SHOM ! ;) Best, HS
They both look great
Hi Both fab watches. The powermatic has a lot of appeal - can't comment about the crown, did have a look in Zaf Basha's book and doesn't look way out. Though not seen many in the flesh. As for RDM - great watch with either silver or black dial Cheers JML
