PP or JLC.......?
Good day all, I have a little dilema. There is a PP 5124G Gondolo which I think is gorgeous and a JLC Reverso Septantieme which I really like . I do not have any rectangular or "form" time piece hence these two which are both manual winding and IMO absolu...
I know what I would do :0)
I'll go for Septantieme in blink of an eye... why because I had chance to see both in metal before Gondolo seemed very handsome but after holding Septantieme in hand I just dropped dead gorgeous... so my advice go and try both if you can then you'll know ...
The Septantieme will be in Croatia in 2 days, my friend. If you want to see it
Once again, you know where to go. best, Nicolas.
Merci Nicolas...
I have tried it in Singapore six months ago, gogeous, beside I can't make it to Croatia in 2 days!!! Cheers. Francois
Perhaps in Paris.....
I may have the chance to see it. Late December? Early January? A bientot. Francois
Not Tomas.. but more like...
Antonio and "The garden of peculiar flowers". No, not Tomas, this is beetween good and good Salud. Francois
Trying hard to make my mind.............
between 2 beautifull yet very different pieces of art and engineering. Yet, in this case the Septantieme is by far IMO the best "engineering" time piece but the slimness and simplicity of the dial of the PP is also very appealing to me. It is a pitty that...
Wait no more Nicolas....
it is my turn to wait now. I have decided for the Septantieme Platinum, will send some pics when it arrives in a few...weeks!!!! Kind regards Francois
Thanks Damjan....
I have only seen pics of the Gondolo on the net but I have tried the Septantieme in Singapore six month ago and loved it. Cheers. Francois
Tough one...
The Patek Gondolo is simply stunning in the flesh, especially the yellow gold one.
The yellow gold!....
that is the one my heart does not beat for! Strange, isn't it. My heart really feels something good about the white gold one, probably because of the dial, I just love the dial of the white gold. Kind regards. Francois
Thank you Whit..but why? Don't you
like JLC? or the Septantieme in particular? True the 5124G is sublime to my eyes but I have not seen it in the flesh (metal!) yet I have seen and "wrist tested" the Septantieme and at that moment my heart said, please get it! Budget, budget, always this b...
I have a JLC duo and lucky to have a few Pateks.
As cool and attractive as the Duo is, I always find myself going to the Patek. It has nothing to do with style, certainly not quality, but how each feels on the wrist. I feel more comfortable with the feel of the Patek. I don't know that I accurately desc...
Do you.....
own (or have ever owned) any Patek or JLC watches? That would be helpful info in order to provide you with a more useful answer... Cheers
Hi PinkPanther yes....
I own a Patek Annual Calendar 5396 RailTrack in rose gold, beautifull and yes I own 2 JLC, 1 Master Perpetual in white gold the 37mm version and the World Geographique in platinum the one with "Ketchum" on the city dial. The one I wear most is the Master ...
