After what seemed like an enternity I finally have mine
Greetings, after what seemed like an eternity I finally took delivery of my RG Duometre a couple of weeks ago. All I can say is that pictures cannot do this watch justice its just too special in the flesh. Although I will admit that Nicolas' pictures did a fantastic job capturing the detail of this phenomenal piece...Thanks Nicolas! I've been a very quiet lurker on the board for some time and have found it a great resource, thanks to all for their contributions. Now all I'm waiting for is my 68 Polaris, I'm convinced that after all this time I'm getting #768 or something very close to it.
Best,
Dave
Has anyone received there Duometre yet?
And if so what are your impressions of it so far? Thanks John
Still waiting for it...
...almost 2 years!! And I thought Patek were bad at delivery.... Tim
Yep, Tim, not nice, indeed.
But the very first were delivered in September 2008, only. It's a complex movement, and JLC needed time to make it reliable. But I guess it won't make you happier to know it, as it is really a long time to wait, a TOO LONG time. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas
You're right of course....better to be delivered a bit late and to have been fully sorted by JLC first. I'm relatively philosophical about it...being used to the long Patek waiting times helps!! I'm sure I'll enjoy it when it arrives. Tim
I am also waiting for
mine too. I heard there is some reliability issues which JLC is working on. But I am sure it'll be worth the wait. Jean
JLC WAS working on, JPSF
Now all is ok, but it's not possible to make a lot of these movements in a short time, so it requires a long time, if you want to do it well.... Of course, I perfectly that the wait is a pain, but imagine your reaction when your AD will inform you that YO...
Thanks a lot for the update.
Waiting is hard but what's not hard in our lives. lol BTW, do you know why JLC recently makes YG LEs only, no RG LEs or WG LEs (e.g., Duometre and new Grande Tradition Tourbillon PC)? Is it because of declining YG popularity? Best, Jean
It's nice to have such good company, Nicolas
Thank you for sharing your post and pictures. I have not yet handled the watch in the flesh so to speak but am totally fascinated by it. Your pictures got me excited all over again...thank you again. John

Thank you Nicolas
Yes, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of a 68 Polaris, I'm told it should be anytime now! I will do my best to contribute in the future but compared to the knowledge existing on this forum, I am an amateur at best.
There are only amateurs, here,
And we share Passion, first. No need to have a lot of knowledge, Passion is more important. What is a better thing ot share than passion? So feel free to share, my friend. Best. Nicolas
