What to do?
I know what the answer to this question is, but I am looking for some perspective. I have the opportunity to trade
my AP RO chronograph and Edward Piguet chronograph, towards a Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre a Chronographe.
I don't know where Jaeger falls on the scale of, 'what's the best watch'. I feel that a lot of these ratings are subjective,
but do serve as a jumping off point. I also must say that I am retired and rarely wear either of these items and I have
a number of other watches. I am trying to cull down my collection and get something new in the process.
Thanx in advance for your opinions, Jeff

Chrono Choices
Jeff, You are talking about trading a conservatively sized sport chrongraph (12-hours) with a fine but outsourced movement and a small, dressy chronograph (12 hours) for a large, state of the art , casually elegant chronograph with an in-house movement th...
Other watches...
Thanks Park, I appreciate your comments and say that I also have an IWC Aquatimer @ 42 mm and find that it fits quite nicely on my 6-3/4" wrist. I think the design of the Jaeger is truly breath taking, but hate to give up the AP RO. I have done a lot of h...
Thx Jerry
i am starting to like these APs so much that i am considering a roo for me too i dont know why they havent sung to me sooner but lately i cant take my eyes off them any further thoughts would be great too
Not sure what it is but I always smile when I see a RO on my wrist.
The watch feels right and looks great. For size reasons I prefer the RO over the ROO, although I do wear a ROO on occasion. To me the RO is a piece of art. JerryW
Both are great choices but the RO gets my vote.
I have tried on both. I think the JLC is a beautiful watch but not as versatile in wear or use as the RO. You really do need to pick which sings to you most but I think the RO is geared towards being able to be worn in a wider variety of situations. I wou...
I like the RO chrono...
...but I prefer the 15202 or 15300. I just like the clean look of that tapisserie dial without the subdials of a chronograph a bit better. Between keeping your two APs and buying the Duometre, I'd go for the JLC. The Duometre is such a compelling piece on...
One point about the Duometre...
Hi, Daos, As someone who loves rattrapante chronographs and have a little experience with them, I find the two center sweep hands remind me too much of a broken rattrapante. They aren't, of course, as the Duometre is not a rattrapante, but the way they ar...
You're definitely not the first person to express that feeling...
...to me. I can see how that feature could be off-putting, especially if you are a fan of rattrapantes. Cheers, Daos
Yes, my friends, but this is exactly a question which keeps me busy...
What kind of Rattrapante do you see? I'm in search for a good one, but didn't alreadfy find it. I want one coming with a manual movement and there are a few competitors: PP with the 5004 and the 5959 ( am I right with this reference or did I mess uo once ...
What about this? :)
One of the most beautiful (to me) watches out there. Very heavy but, like everything else that is "important" in life. And you can use it as an amusement, just take a loupe and you can stare at the movement for hours and hours. Cheers, Bro. June is coming...
Tough choice.
I love the Duometre, that's a fact but, I wouldn't let the RO Chrono go. This is a very personal choice, if the RO and the EP are rarely worn, and the Duometre is going to get much more wrist time, go for it. Vte
