It is still mounted on CTS rubber strap, but I removed it to give it a wash and dry. So since it was just sitting there, I thought why not some quick pics.

Very cool watch. Would love to own a Reverso someday. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Nice! Congrats on the chrono. I was offered it when first released but passed. In hindsight I should have taken it. I’m liking it more and more.

Congratulations this JLC is lovely. Mind if I ask what's your wrist size and how does this watch look on your wrist? I have some reservations with the lug-to-lug due to my small wrist.

My wrist is 8.1" and I can just about carry it. After changing it to the rubber strap that has a more pronounced taper, I really like wearing this watch now. It would be harder on a smaller wrist and how curved/flat it is; anything under 7" would probably result in overhanging lugs.

Custom made by a guy in Germany, Diaboliq straps, but I guess you can have this done locally as well with a strap maker of your choice.

I know it’s old news but JLC dropping prices on some models. I’m sure there have been multiple other threads about this but didn’t notice any. I wonder if the trend will continue. I think they got a little to aggressive with pricing during peak hype season. Time for a correction with multiple brands.

This is the first I’m hearing about it. What models had their prices dropped?

Their aggressive price increases really turned me off the brand. I was dead set on getting the Chronograph Reverso until that massive price increase.

Not a good look if true.

Do you have the models? The ones I know the price of—mainly reversos and some polaris—seem all to be the same USD. I heard GBP prices might have fallen, but some speculated that was due to currency exchange issues.

Well shoot...

I may have been as premature as a 17 year old boy on the first time....

Apologies..


I was parroting something resonating on a different platform. I guess (for now) it's exchange rate driven (the GBP up against the CHF) so UK prices are down. US prices haven't moved but I was told to "pay attention" for potential adjustment of US prices.

I have not heard of this as well. I agree; they raised their prices too dramatically in a very short amount of time.

I figured I didn’t need to tell time much today, so I went the chrono side. Love the piece, but blue hands for the hour and minute would have done a lot for readability.
