Thanks sir 1 more ?
Since the platinum memovox is older should I maybe snag that up now and the price is right a d wait for a duometre in white metal? Newer watch and maybe easier to locate in future. They both seem to be great watches. Just a thought after reading one of the other comments. The older one is also preowned so what do I lose from a manufacturer standpoint if I take that route? Thank you again in advance.

Buying myself a Christmas present and I can't decide between the two. Everyone says get it down to 2 but now what. Do I get the master grande memovox platinum LE w the blue face and solid back or the Duometre QL. I know you will all say go with the one yo...
In terms of complications, a Moonphase can't fight with a Perpetual Calendar/Alarm.
BUT... I love a lot the Master Grande Memovox. Its dial is too busy, for sure, but there is a " surranné " charm I like a lot, in this watch, and the combination of the perpetual calendar with the alarm is not only unique, it is also original. BUT... I wo...

I would
take the perpetual now and look at the Duometer when/if it comes in white metal. Let's face a fact: buing one of these nice watches, the big majority gets hooked and other watches will follow. I have seen this perpetual once in platin and it is really a "...
AFAIK, Kari, there will never be a stainless steel Duometre, my friend.
This will not be appropriate to the spirit of this " Family watches ". My guess is that ( only a guess, eeeh? ) that we'll see a white metal Duometre à Q.L next year. And my other guess is that it will be WG. Let's see if I'm good at pronostics... Best, N...
makes sense....
... especially with the prices of gold, we are getting closer to platinum. I'd bet the same and if they make a boutique edition, it might be in platinum and even more limited. That's common sense, though they didn't apply it on the duo chrono
On the platinum Duometre a Chronograph
There was ( is ) a limited production which came ( comes ) with the white grained dial, while the " current " Chrono comes with a silver grey grained dial. Ok, we are playing on words, as, even if it is not clearly specified, even the current Duometres ar...
It was a surprise for me ...
To hear that only a few hundred were made between their release in 2007 till October 2009. That was I've been told by the Master Watchmaker at the JLC Manufacture, when I was there. As for the Chronographs, I'd say somewhere between 100 and 200 per year, ...
Q L on the top of my list right now....
... I just need to see live how the foudroyante feels in the equation: Seconds, escapement beating... and especially the mellow moon I'd very grateful if you have some info, even if doesn't really matter, its always good to know. Thank you! Btw, my predic...
Indeed, it has to be seen in the flesh.
Will try to find the good moment to post a topic I dedicated on the Duometre à Q.L, by the way. To sum it in a veryfew words, an original chronometric piece. As for the next Duometre to come, only God and JLC know what it is. I would love to see a kind of...
Nico my Friend,
I have learned that you have many crystal balls from where you can see to the future. And your JLC ball is bright and well polished. I am very happy if JLC will not come with with a platinum Duometre. This means that I'm saving € 40-50 k cash. I hope you ...
I hope so, as I hate being wrong...
I love to be positively suprised, too! More seriously, what I noticed these 2 or 3 last years is that platinum is less and less the JLC choice, in favor of the WG. Maybe because Times are not propice to ask for a platinum premium? Hence my guess... Best, ...
I have noticed the same,
but at leat for me platinum is the #1 material for the finest of watches. Thus, in my opinion it is a great pitty that there is not even one platinum Reverso in regular production. For me this means that if I want to get a really fine watch (but sometimes...
Well, the Gyro II is in platinum, my friend.
As well as some Reverso à Eclipse... Nooo, don't thank me! Well, you don't know what will come in January... Maybe something for you, who knows? You know my soft spot for platinum caes on elegant watches, my friend. You and me may be both happy... Maybe. ...
Some watches are too much -
for my limited budjet. And the watches you mentioned belong to that group. Furthermore, I am still so unsophisticated that tourbillion is a bit too much for me. But you are hinting again and it looks like I should not spend all on (your) Christmas present...
What???
Did you also forget my B.DAY, which is very soon? We'll speak soon, my friend. And don't forget: The Man who speaks doesn't know, and the man who knows doesn't speak. Well, all has a price... Best! Nicolas.
OK, I'll chime in...
I'd go for the Platinum Memovox for a couple of reasons: (1) 250 pieces made (2) only JLC makes a perpetual calendar w/alarm (3) it is, simply, a more practical watch. Now, I'm NOT saying I don't love the Duometer QL, I DO! But I see the MGM as a GREAT da...
