Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and I need help deciding on my first Jaeger. Here are the choices: Reverso Grande Date leather bracelet reference # 3008420. Or option B is the Master Calendar leather band reference # 151842A. Any help would be greatly ... 

Hi, and welcome here, firstly. Your choice is not evident, as both of these watches are so different! Rectangular, 8 Days and Grande Date on one side, Round Calendar and power reserve indicator on the other side. I'd go on the Reverso Grande Date, because... 

Hi Nicolas, thanks for the welcoming. I know that my choices are like trying to compare apples to oranges and I should have stated this, I realise one watch is more of a "true" mechanical wonder in terms of being a very reliable, robust 8 day power reserv... 

And, in my opinion, this is the Beauty of it. But you really need to see if your wrist will " receive " it in a nice and comfortable way. Please, keep us updated! Best, Nicolas

Hi, to help you decide, the Reverso is a rectangle from the art deco era, while the master calendar is a classic shape. I have 2 reversos and the master calendar. The reversos, keeping in mind the design element sholud be as clean faced as possible (art d... 

Nice collection,! Welcome here, and thanks for your input. Best, Nicolas

Nicholas, I sincerely apologise for the delay as I was caught up with some personal engagements I will post the pics by Monday. Thanks for the welcome to the blog. Cheers

Hi, I am uploading the wrist shots of the JlCs as promised. Cheers 8 Day Grande Reserve Master Calendar 986 Reverso Reverse Side 986 Reverso Front Side AMVOX2 DBS Chrono 8 Day Grande Reserve Master Calendar 986 Reverso Reverse Side 986 Reverso Front Side ...  

I think, for historical brand DNA and for "something different" in your collection, I'd go for th Grande Date. In 1931, the same year JLC debuted the Reverso, it also built Caliber 124, and 8-day shaped movement that they supplied to Patek (search Patek R... 

...I will chime in anyway. Given the context of your current collection, I would definitely go for the Reverso. It is an iconic design, has pure JLC DNA, and the reasons already dicsussed alos are important: the beautiful hand wound 8-day movement, which ... 

I start wondering whos brain is tapping whos here. Well admittedly, I must be tapping yours since you alway beat me to posting my (yours?) points and thoughts. I read the OP and immediately thought to reply along the lines you just did... So Watchman here... 

Well, you know, they say great minds think a like. ;-) Nicolaj, as you know I have no shortage of opinions on watches, but I have no recommendations on vacation destinations for you, my friend. I myself am going to spend a bit of time in Germany this summ... 

I guess I will have to sort out my vacation on my own then. The family keeps talking Greece, Croatia, Southern France. I keep mumbling that Paris around the 25th July sounds very exiting.... All the best! This message has been edited by nikolaj on 2010-05...

...one of these days, my friend, one of these days. But I somehow feel a trip to Paris will be very expensive for me. LOL. respo

Come on, do it if you can. I promise you to not tempt you. Just for fun, and friendship! Best, Nicolas

Thank you, my friend. I don't think I will have the opportunity this summer, but I will one day meet you in Paris. best, respo

Those are two great watches, but also two very different watches. I think that you should try them on you wrist several times. Each time you will see and feel something new, good or bad experience. That will help you in your choice. It’s very diffic...
