New to JLC
Hi,
I was in an AD here in NYC today and tried on a Squadra Hometime with the white face and was smitten.
It feels just the right size for my wrist. I was in there initially
looking at GO's, but the ones I thought I was going to like felt too
small, and I think I want to move away from a round face watch for my
next purchase.
Not a fan of the usual brands, so I really
appreciate what I have been reading about JLC movements and how the
brand can fly under the radar.
I currently have an IWC GST and a Zenith Chronomaster Open XXT
Looking to learning more about JLC from you guys and maybe finding a Squadra of either color pre-owned on here!

Very nice

I like that a lot! I am not popeye by any means regarding wrist and forearm size, but I also like the feel and look of a larger piece. I don't think they had that model in person when I tried on the hometime. I assume it is a bit bigger than the hometime?...
Limited edition?

Well I'll keep my eyes open for that one, but I think I like the simplicity of the hometime the best. I initially thought I only wanted the white face, but now having looked around I think i am open to the black one as well. I wonder if anyone has one and...
Yes, LE,

And even if this is a LE of 1500 pieces, they are quite rare to find, because JLC didn't delver all of them, AFAIK. I still saw one in Paris a few weeks ago. And I know where to find one, too. Good hunt! Nicolas

I just got my first JCL. I have been lusting for one for a while. Today I received a Reverso Grande GMT. What a neat piece and what amazing craftsmanship. I own a GO, Rolex and BP and love them all, but JLC is just so eccentric and neat. I will post some ...
