Hi Blomman,

The E873 really is a special watch with lots of presence.

I inherited this one from my father in 2004. He was the original owner.

It always brings a smile to my face when I wear it due to its very special looks. This is not the most discrete of watches. It gets noticed due to the combination of its unique form and strong colors.

Thanks for sharing the advertisements. Fun to see.

Claus

Thank you for reminding me of this special watch, unlike anything else I have. So cool that you have the ads as well. Thanks for sharing. The 70’ies were certainly....brown, if nothing else. Haha. Claus

Pleasure! :)

Thanks a lot Blomman for the nice pics and the ads: seems that you have an ad for any JLC watch ever produced ! Have you ever considered putting all this (knowledge, collection and ads) together and release a book on JLC ?? 😏 Am still missing a SS 873 dia... 

If I ever find time to put all into a book...

This one, the grey / blue one (we’ll see if enough funds to also get the white one...) Credit unknown ...  

The grey blue is another great version of the E 873!

What puzzles me a bit is why JLC suddenly opted to move the luminous away from the alarm track to outside the metal indexes...? GL in your hunt! Best Blomman
