well done, you saved a great piece...
thanks for sharing your joy with us. i can imagine how happy you were at the time of seeing this great piece...
the most happy thing i feel is that this great watch can go to a passionate person as you instead of going someone who don't know how to appreciate it.
really happy with you, please keep it safe and look after well, this is a very rare bird, everyone of us will catch it once it flies off...

JLC Geomatic saved from a certain death
Dear all I'd like to tell you a little story. after having visited some manufactures in May with Alex, including JLC, I told my story to my closest friends and their parents. I told them my love and passion for JLC and the incredible moment I lived in vis...
Fantastic timing...

You're too modest, Fabrice
This is YOUR watch, and for that reason, it is a treasure. The Geomatic is a great watch, therefore, with a sublime and timeless look. And this is a Chronometer, which sounds magic. Your story is not ridiculous at all, it is GREAT. You dreamt of it, you g...
many thanks to all !

Great story!
Which I am sure you will cherish for your entire life. The Geomatic may have left it's original owner, but it is until now that it has found a HOME. Great combination with the croco strap, Fab. A bientot, mon ami! Salut, Alex
If this is silly, then the things I post are rubbish!
It's a great story as many have said. You are lucky and the watch certainly is VERY, VERY lucky to have you as its savior. Ruckdee
thanks to all, my friends !
I must admit that this Geomatic gave me some fierce ideas on going deeper into JLC's history and to go hunting some more vintage models.. and when I read some books about historical models, whaou, what a brand.. I loved JLC, now, I'm a fanatic
That is terrible, but great ending!
I cringe to think of how many nice pieces end up literally being thrown in the trash can.
