Horological Meandering

Hmm...

 

Not a fan of spending other people's money.... but, if it were me, at my stage in this collecting journey, I'd keep the GO and lighten the Omega representation, but that's me. Unless you are really not a fan of the GO. It really adds some variety to that line up, as would the JLC.
I've come to a perspective that less is more, but that was only gained through having a wide variety of experiences. The JLC would certainly offer something different for you. And if you're looking to see what it's like having a super-techy watch from a great manufacturer, that'd fit the bill.
Just so you know where I'm coming from, way back in the day I did a 5-2 swap with a fistful of Breitlings to get a JLC and a GO. IMHO, both JLC and GO offer superior watchmaking to Omega (and Breitling for that matter). Fast forward a decade and now I'm consolidating variety to get deep into one brand, so what do I know? Just my .02

Depending on how much cash we are talking. It really depends on how much you like the JLC. The GO and Omega are great watches and you have a lot of utility in having both. The 2 to 1 trade always feels tricky. Without knowing on what your collection looks... 

My current collection is as follows:

I almost never offer a negative opinion about a timepiece unless the thread asks for one…I have owned JLC and was incredibly disappointed not only with the time piece but the management at the boutique. There are plenty of owners that will swear by them a...
