Patience is the key for searching....
Hi Blomman,
There are still a lot of JLC MK XIs around, while patient is the key to source and locate one, I admit that sometimes finding one is by pure luck....=)
Good luck for your hunt and hope you enjoy the group picture.
Regards,
Hans
Some better pics of the Jaeger-Lecoultre WWW.
Certainly one of my favourite watch, among the vintage JLC miitary. A case with a lot of character, a wonderful dial, and a superb movement, exlusively dedicated to this watch ( Cal 479 ) : And the movement... I would really like to see something like tha...
Beautiful
Thank you for the great photos! I'm already in for the Tribute ... Have a good weekend!
Vintage JLCs are a captivating world, René. A lot to discover.
A lot of homework and researches to do, and a lot of efforts to spend, but at the end you will discover a wide and wonderful world, clever, brilliant, original and sometimes beautiful. I wish you a lot of pleasure, here. Best, Hermano. Nicolas.
JLC WWW` vs Mark XI
Hello Nicolas, Your JLC WWW really has a great case and no doubt that it has the style and character of this matt finish case..... Different variants of JLC WWW For me, I still have perferenec about pilot watches, probably its unique movement, and its ant...
When two pictures sum all the diversity of these military watches.
Mark XI RAAF, RAF, Cathedral hands, or baton, WWW with the same diversity of hands, My God! That is what I call dedication to these watches. I am so happy you came out ouff the wood, Hans. Bravo, and a huge thanks. Nicolas
So this is why I can’t find a good Mk II..!
Congrats, Hans! Awesome collection of WWW and Mk II you have! Best Blomman

I must confess that I was lucky with ALL my Vintage JLC military watches.
Of course, I was hunting them, but they fell in my collection, each time, with a lot of luck... Best, Nicolas.
No no...
Nicolas, it is still a long way to go for me to have them alll.... I just think that I am in the right path only.... In front of you guys, I am just a learner.... (^__^) Best regards, Hans
Hans, I think you're too modest, my friend.
And I deeply love and admire the way you're collecting these watches... Maybe one day we'll meet and you will authorize me a family picture, or some pics, at least, to complete my data bank? Do you have other themas in your collection? Best, Nicolas.
so impressive collection...
... congrats Hans, you have an amazing collection which i have never seen so many MK XI at the same time! proud of your collection indeed! stefan
I do enjoy!
Never saw the one on the top, and immediately above, on its right! Can you tell us more about these 2, Hans? Impressive, my friend, really impressive. Best, Nicolas.
Every time I'm pretty mesmerized .. And the movement - a special treat, indeed !
As I also had the luxury to see those 3 JLC- Militaries in real, my friend - what a pleasure again for these re-visited vistas now ! ( also took the opportunity to re- read your lovely, extensive 3 reviews about those, BTW) I do remember it's strong,(in a...
HS, these Military Time Keepers are so
Among them, the WWW and the Mark XI are my favourites, but I can't resist to the appeal of a Weems or a Mark 7 A. Step by step, you will end with all of them, I know that. Taking breaths? Who said that? Best, my dear friend. Nicolas.
A very beautiful watch...
...in a very functional way. Would it be too much to ask for JLC to produce a tribute to either the WWW or the Mark XI in a 40mm ceramic case? N
I fear it is a bit too trendy, or too " IWC " to see such a military watch with
A Ceramic case... Then it shouldn't be called Tribute anymore... But a bigger one, in 38 / 40 mm, that would be great! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
In that case...
...I'll buck the trend and take a tribute in 38 or 40 in steel from JLC. Thank you N
Stunning pics, Nicolas!
The movement photos are glowing! The Cal 479 is really a piece of art! The gilt movement, sensual curved bridges, Geneva bars… And all this on a WWII Caliber…! Best, my friend Blomman
love this lovely and solid combination...
... it is difficult to resist this beauty... unfortunately, have not a chance to encounter one yet, LOL stefan
outstanding amanico. The brushed case finish gives an impression of force
The movement is the very famous cal 478 which is jlc's beloved handwound movement
