JLC Grand Reveil Perpetual/Alarm
I have always loved and wanted this watch in platinum. I purchased the original Geographique in platinum at about the same time(1989). Unfortunately, i could not afford it at the time, and by the time i could, it was sold out. The Odysseus is also very ni...

Remember very well this era... I could spend hours stalking windows of JLC & others watch shops...
