Jaeger-LeCoultre

And if so what are your impressions of it so far? Thanks John

...almost 2 years!! And I thought Patek were bad at delivery.... Tim

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

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

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

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... 

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

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

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 ... 

Feel free to post pics of this Beautiful Chrono! Speaking of a nice watch is really easy, my friend. But thanks for your nice words. So you will also get the Polaris?. Wow!!! Keep us updated, and just hope that now, we will see you more and more contribut...

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.

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
