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 got it, and you care aout it.
What is more important, at the end?
I don't see.
As for the rest of your collection, it shows that you have great taste, which is the most difficult thing to have.
So, congratulations, my friend.
And don't worry about what the others have, own, etc.... The most important is that you're very happy with your watches, and that it is truley an excellent beginning!
Enjoy.
Best,
Nicolas
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...

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.
