Adding another Jaeger LeCoultre this time in Steel
Mar 07, 2021,05:25 AM
I find myself in the market for another JLC after receiving a sizable and totally unexpected bonus at work. I’m thinking STEEL to compliment my recently acquired one in Rose Gold. I admire many of the brand’s novelties but probably looking Geographic or Memovox for a 7.25” wrist. Steer me toward something exceptional with a preowned price below 10K USD. Thanks!

Geophysic appeals to me as well.
The non TS version is beautiful

I much prefer the sword lume hands to the TS. If you can find one, I’ll be happy for you.

Maybe a bit too sporty for me but I think they are very cool tool watches. I’d have to try them on. Who knows? Maybe they would bowl me over.
