Not a JLC today...

By: kkochheiser : May 27th, 2020-10:45

But I have been enjoying my latest in the warm Arizona sun. Kent ...

Ok, Kent you are forgiven. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:05

Looks good Kent...

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:06

wore this Duometre for Ted since he requested a JLC from Nicolas yesterday so I took the initiative since I know Nicolas would still have his 5070G 😉

This one is hard to beat, my friend. Superb. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:06

We are in a small group that really appreciate this beauty 😜😁 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:10

An ever growing group. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:11

Happily and hopefully it will continue to grow 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:15

How many are we with the WG Duometre à Chrono? 4, 5? [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:17

No idea but if you count the PT model as well there are a few more 😉👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:25

I think we are around 10, indeed. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:30

That is not bad considering the examples that exist 🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:40

Well, I am not sure much more than 2000 Duometre à Chronograph were produced... 300 in YG, 200 in WG, the rest in platinum... And not even sure 2000 were made! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:43

I think ALOT less. From our last discussion and what I have learned from JLC corporate, les than 200 in platinum as well...

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:50

So: 300 in YG LE 200 in WG LE RG no idea how many 🤷‍♂️ But I don't think it is anywhere near 2000 pieces for all models. Maybe between 1000 - 1500 🤔

There also was the versions with the open dial... But you are right. 2000 must be a maximum. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:52

PS, the rose gold was not limited. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:54

Correct which is why I have no idea how many were made 🤔🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:56

And you also had the platinum white dial ( 50 pieces announced ). But you are right, we may be somewhere between 1500 / 2000 pieces maximum. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:58

Probably, if that many. Definitely less than 2000 as that sounds like a big number even for all metals and versions 🤔🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-12:00

We also have to take in consideration that they didn't stop it, as far as I know... [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-12:02

True but much less production recently 🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-12:07

Right. I hope that it will announce a new Duometre. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-14:46

I think we all hope for that to happen 🤞 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-15:02

Yes, let's keep fingers crossed! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-15:04

This got me wondering so I did a quick scan of Chrono24 for Duometre a Chronographes and counted watches available to ship immediately:

By: Fastwong : June 3rd, 2020-10:52

RG Solid Dial - 13 RG Window Dial - 2 RG Grey Dial - 1 YG - 5 WG - 1 Plat Grey Dial - 2 Totally non-scientific non-statistically significant almost worthless guess but if we take YG availability as a reference point maybe they made 3-4x that across all RG...

Makes sense although I still think the RG numbers are a bit high. Either way and like Nico stated, total production of all models would be less than 2000 examples which is not so many 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : June 3rd, 2020-11:15

That sounds right, indeed. Plausible. [nt]

By: amanico : June 3rd, 2020-14:02

Yes true about the semi skeleton dial versions but I think they also made less of them as well 🤷‍♂️ [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:54

Sure the open dial version was not such a big production. [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:55

Soon there will be one more

By: Jurry : May 28th, 2020-01:49

(If all works out)

Now that's some big news! [nt]

By: amanico : May 28th, 2020-05:37

Told you i was working on something.

By: Jurry : May 28th, 2020-05:45

Not a done deal yet and it may still collapse

Fingers crossed!!! [nt]

By: amanico : May 28th, 2020-06:49

Whaouh, looking forward to some good news 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-09:01

Shame on me... The JLC Moderator wearing a...

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:07

That will change next week end! ...

LOL, I knew you would still have on the 5070G so I had to wear the Duometre for Ted 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:09

As you are also forgiven! What a beauty! [nt]

By: kkochheiser : May 27th, 2020-11:23

Good one, my friend. Good one. ;) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:24

That's terrible of you Nico...let's swap, you send me the 5070G and I'll send you my JLC....;-))

By: FabR : May 27th, 2020-12:57

...

Hey, no fair. What about me ? 😜😁

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-13:28

...

Hey I was the first. And if it is not the case, I am the JLC Mod, here. :)))) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-14:43

Yes chef 😜😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-15:01

ROFL! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-15:02

Sorry, but I only have one JLC..:-)) [nt]

By: FabR : May 27th, 2020-15:51

That SHOULD change! :) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-23:26

I thought this was your reply to the next post where my friend has been married for 13 years, because that’s what I tell him too!!😂😂😇 [nt]

By: FabR : May 28th, 2020-01:35

Well that definitely needs to change 😁 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-09:00

👍Now it’s zero, since that one went to Nico..😂😉 [nt]

By: FabR : May 28th, 2020-09:13

LOL, you have to be kidding, right 🤔🤦‍♂️ [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-09:19

ROFL!!! [nt]

By: amanico : May 28th, 2020-09:22

What's so funny counselor 😜😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-09:34

I couldn't resist swapping it with his 5070G...;-) [nt]

By: FabR : May 28th, 2020-09:24

:))))))))) [nt]

By: amanico : May 28th, 2020-09:24

;-)) [nt]

By: FabR : May 28th, 2020-09:25

Well, in that case giving up your only JLC was worth it 😜😂🤣 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-09:29

Aaah, let me think about that, a bit. The MUT 34 is such a great watch! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-14:42

;-)) One of the first watches I ever bought, I believe it was 2006...I think never worn except on a very special occasion, when I was the best men at one of my childhood friends in 2007...

By: FabR : May 27th, 2020-15:54

...and the guy is still married 13 years later, it must mean something!!

A lucky watch? ;) [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-23:23

I would say it is even more than lucky 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 30th, 2020-12:44

Indeed, no less than miraculous! ;-)) [nt]

By: FabR : May 30th, 2020-13:25

He he he... ;) [nt]

By: amanico : May 30th, 2020-13:31

Considering that more than 60% of married couples end up in divorce nowadays, I would have to agree 🤷‍♂️ [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 30th, 2020-13:42

👍In fact, according to the statistics, the leading cause of divorce is marriage...😎[nt]

LOL, so true 🤣😂 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 30th, 2020-14:48

I confirm. [nt]

By: amanico : May 30th, 2020-14:56

Maybe! [nt]

By: amanico : May 30th, 2020-13:31

Not bad mon ami!!! [nt]

By: aperna : May 27th, 2020-13:29

Merci, Tony! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-14:43

+1 for JLC - it's the Memovox today for me.

By: Modernahab : May 27th, 2020-11:57

...

I like the monochromatic photo 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-11:59

Somehow the sepia seems to me appropriate for such a mid-20th century influenced design. [nt]

By: Modernahab : May 27th, 2020-13:56

Yes it does 👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-14:17

A classic, an icon! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-11:59

I had one and sold it, such a mistake. [nt]

By: Tyo : May 27th, 2020-13:02

I dare not repeat your mistake - this Memovox is a gift from my wife from quite some time ago, and I would never hear the end of it if I sold or traded it! 😲 [nt]

By: Modernahab : May 27th, 2020-13:54

Great choice!! I love that dial [nt]

By: aperna : May 27th, 2020-13:28

Many thanks Tony. We have a few members who also love this dial so much they also decided to get one 😜😁 [nt]

Not so sunny on the water today.

By: Bill : May 27th, 2020-14:54

June gloom on the water. Have a great en of week. Rolex Zenith Daytona. ...

How cool! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-14:55

That's a beauty Bill. Surprised about the cloudy weather 🤷‍♂️ [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-15:04

We have it just on the coast one mile inland is sunny. [nt]

By: Bill : May 27th, 2020-15:40

Ah yes, I remember that well. The difference from coastal and continental weather (inland) 🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-08:39

JLC and..

By: mazizata : May 27th, 2020-15:32

A fantastic cigar.. ...

What a pair 😁 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 27th, 2020-15:48

And a uber cool Tribute To Polaris! [nt]

By: amanico : May 27th, 2020-23:16

+1 👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 31st, 2020-08:34

Perfect

By: TeutonicCarFan : May 27th, 2020-17:57

I believe this watch debate l generates maximum posts👍

Agreed 👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : May 28th, 2020-12:22

Fantastic!

By: systematic.entropy : June 3rd, 2020-11:10

Love the Duometre!

Many thanks. 🙏 Which variant of the Duometre do you prefer ? [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : June 3rd, 2020-11:21

The rose gold/black dial with the reserves cut out steals my heart. [nt]

By: systematic.entropy : June 3rd, 2020-11:38

Interesting, I think the dial is a dark grey. So you like the latest version which seems to be the least produced from what I can see in their normal production pieces 🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : June 3rd, 2020-11:47

Yes. I believe that the dark dial with the cut outs was a boutique exclusive. [nt]

By: systematic.entropy : June 3rd, 2020-22:20

Did not know it was boutique only 🤔 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : June 4th, 2020-05:12

Yes, I think our friend is right... [nt]

By: amanico : June 4th, 2020-07:03

Learned something new 😜 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : June 4th, 2020-15:05

This one?

By: amanico : June 3rd, 2020-14:10

...

Mmmmm that’s the one. swooon [nt]

By: systematic.entropy : June 3rd, 2020-16:16

Yes, spectacular. But I would have preferred this one with a plain dial. [nt]

By: amanico : June 3rd, 2020-23:05
