On the 3rd of January 2008, I was offered to take the moderation of the JLC Forum. Five full years of shared friendship, passion, interesting discussions, and mutual knowledge. I can't forget that Jerome and me moderated the JLC forum for a long time, as ...  

No, no, no...

 
 By: DRMW : January 3rd, 2013-00:57
Thank YOU and Jerome (Dje) for making the JLC so great. Congrats on hitting the 5 year milestone, I'm sure 2013 will be even better! -MW

I have a few funny and big projects for the JLC forum.

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2013-01:35
One may happen in the few next months, the other at the end of this year... We'll see. But thank you for the kind words, my friend. Nicolas

We have to thank YOU...

 
 By: fernando : January 3rd, 2013-02:04
for providing us with so much 'food for thought', interesting articles, reviews and just generally being here for us 24/7. Your enthusiasm and passion is infectious and many of us I'm sure have been led into temptation by your (evil) deeds. :) Already 5 y...  

I doubt I will still be there in fifty years, but for sure the Community will!

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2013-02:24
And there will be many other Moderators to take the job. In the meantime, we will all try to do our best for the interest of this place, its spirit. Thank you for being here. Best, Nicolas.

Where can I start.....

Hi my friend, I'm pleased to realize that we've been like in heaven in the last five years with your incredible passion exerced here. Of course I must too remind one watch, this one: My dream watch would not be mine without your help. May you be thanked ...

When a full bottle of Armagnac died between our hands... And the hesitant way back to our rooms... ;) And many other crazy moments, too. And so many discoveries, moments of amazements and surprises shared together. And... And... and... All the best, my fr...

It has been interesting to participate along (I am not dictated enough - I know) with all passions around. On 1 Jan 2013, I found these 2 old watches and took a photo for sharing about how we commits to the passion. Still waiting for my first Reverso to b...  

You found both of these 2 2 days ago???

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2013-05:56
2 confirmed legends, for sure. The Reverso will come, wihtout doubt. If you were able to find these two, you will find the Vintage Reverso. Then you will have to find a nice Geophysic, and one Futurematic, and then you can close the theme. ;) Thanks for b... 

You, and Jerome, should be the ones ...

I found the message that I wrote 5 years ago: " Nicolas, I have always read your posts with pleasure. I am now looking forward reading your messages as co-mod! " 5 years later, I can say that I was far from being able to even imagine how amazing your con... 

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Marv.

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2013-14:43
Even myself I couldn't imagine how far the adventure would drive me. ;) Aaah, and stay tuned, I will post something you may like, on next Sunday.... Best, my dear friend. Nicolas

It's been an amazing five years. And it will be an even more amazing many years in the future. Looking forward to the even better memories of the future, but may they never dull the fond memories of the past. Thank you Nicolas for everything you've given ... 

Trying to do better is our major defy, my co mod friend.

 
 By: amanico : January 4th, 2013-07:33
when you feel you cannot do so, it is time to give up.... I always have that in mind... But for the moment, I challenge that defy. Thank you, my friend. Nicolas

As Cesar Millan would say: "Be the pack leader"

 
 By: patrickmaniac : January 4th, 2013-00:55
and you're the one in JLC Vlad. cheers PAt

Being a pack leader is a bit too pretentious for me, Patrick.

 
 By: amanico : January 4th, 2013-07:37
But to animate our passion around JLC watches is much more interesting, IMO. Thanks for the kind words, though. Best, Nicolas

Humbleness is a virtue.

 
 By: patrickmaniac : January 4th, 2013-18:33
Great to have you here and the patience on bearing with my nonsense. Hagwe! Cheers PAt

To meet you was very rewarding for me, too.

 
 By: amanico : January 4th, 2013-07:39
One thing on which I disagree with you... I don't see you as a newbie... ;) Best, my dear friend, and may we have many other opportunities to meet! Nicolas

The forum would not be the same without you!

To make it short, I was burglared in Janbuary 2011, and lost quite a lot of watches. Among them, 4 JLCs: The 2 Tribute To Polaris ( 65 / 68 ), the original Deep Sea Alarm US, and the Duometre à Chronographe. This Community is so amazing that I received, f...
