Is this a thing with JLC?
The only used watch I got was a jlc... it is now 20 year old. I have never serviced it, unsure the service status when I got it over a decade ago. Actually going to be sending it in the coming weeks.

Who makes the better Chronograph??
I think JLC does. It certainly has a more elaborately crafted case. The owner has the option of exchanging straps/bracelets. Between the 2 shown the JLC has a more precise movement and buttery smooth winding. The Daytona is a great watch too although I th...
I totally agree with Nico and the Duomètre...
... and I really like Girard Peregaux's chronographs. A chronograph is all about readability, so on the two shown, I would go for the JLC, although the hour and minute main hands could do with a pointy end. Best, E.

Could there be more than one Unicorn?
All three were bought new and have never been serviced. Still working as good as they did day one...😉 ...
I also had a JLC MC Chronograph
My unicorn worked well. I love the Daytona, but chose JLC.
Absolutely, JLC makes formidable watches, but I bet real money that similar category Rolex would outlast them in everyday harsh conditions. We all know and heard stories of unserviced Rolexes that work well for over thirty years, worn every day,
not in rotation with other watches. Most of the watches we see and love here on the forum, don’t even have a swirl on them, so the true reliability is never tested. As for the modern models with the new innovations, and the extreme tests that this Rolex w...

I have a 20 year old Mille Miglia that’s never been opened and is still running strong. ...
To me, your questions is akin to this:
Who makes the better car: Sure, one is more popular but only one of the two gets my blood pumping. ...
Oooo... Ferrari 550... I've never driven a 550, but looks pretty cool to me!
I have driven the Toyota Corolla. It was my rental to get to a PuristSPro watch event back in the day! Not a bad rental car. But not a blood pumper.
Exactly. The Carola is a solid, reliable "get you there" kind of item.
Not really special, rare, unique or interesting and they made it for decades. You see them everywhere, and everyone you meet has see one, been in one or owned one. It is just like a Daytona in so many ways; a really good functional version of that object....
I've driven the Lamborghini Aventador and the Huracan...
Those experiences stay with you. They're just amazing pieces of machinery. I always considered myself a Ferrari Fan instead of a Lamborghini lover, I would even go as far as to say Lamborghinis are "out there" and the Ferraris are more "elegant." But once...
Daytona is more than a Chronograph
a Daytona 😁 Don't get me wrong but I love many Chronographs: e.g. Speedmasters, Zenith El Primero but in terms of "feel" on the wrist the Daytona is very unique. There will always be a wide range of Chronographs, more precise, with a different design but ...
