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!

I am so appreciative of the Reverso and it’s heritage but while admiring it from afar I likely will stay with a round case profile. Thanks for sharing your exquisite Sun-Moon!

I’d certainly consider the LUC.... thanks for such a thoughtful and in-depth response.

Not many LUCs I don't like, but...

...it would be nice if there was an option to get them without date windows...

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.

I recommend looking at the discountinued Master Compressor Series..

... particularly, those Master Compressor series with chronograph function. Firstly, there is the JLC Navy Seals Compressor Diving GMT series (Ref 178T170). A sport diving watches with ~46mm case and can be found in titanium case and titanium bracelet. Th...
