Hey it's gotta be Friday somewhere, right?  I'll start it off this week since I just came home with something new.

Imagine this:  you are a longtime watch collector that has just accepted a job with your favorite brand.  The catch is that the brand happens to only make very high end pieces.  Well clearly if you are going to wear something nice, you will wear a piece from that brand, but what do you wear on other occasions?  That is the question I have been faced with.

As you guys know, I have been working with Max Busser and MB&F.  I absolutely love my Horological Machine #2, but I can't wear it for a day at the beach!




I think I found my answer today.  I wanted something on a bracelet for comfort, but not heavy and not shiny.  I put this JLC GMT Diver on my wrist and immediately knew it was the one.  It is incredibly comfortable and with their ingenious half link system, can be adjusted during the day to fit perfectly at all times.

So without further ado, the first wrist shot of my new "beater", which as an aside is the first JLC I have ever owned:




Here I tried to take an artsy shot halfway in the pool, but my camera skills failed me again:

Look like a simple timepiece but this clean look always grab my eyes.

Cheers

I should even say Lovely PIECES!

The Diving GMT is a reliable daily beater, indeed.

This is a watch I highly consider, not as a priority, as I still wait 3 more watches to come till the end of this year,

but in my wish list.

Your wrist shots give it justice!

Congrats, and have fun with!

Best.

I must confess, I thought of you when i bought it.  My first JLC!  Maybe a Gyro II is next

Nice watch for the pool.

Cheers
