IMO...JLC are the best value in high end watches. my next watch (when i have money ) will either be a Patek Philippe or a JLC.Gayletmom|1292108327|2794482 said:Thanks, DF, for the pics. I love seeing your watches-they're gorgeous. My dh is pining for a nice watch but he's the kind of person who will wait years to get just what he wants. He's very picky! I'm in the learning stage but I'd like to get him one in the next couple of years. What do you suggest? Haven't you mentioned, in the past, that there are really only a few watch brands that are well made these days? Should I look for a Lange? Other brands? How much should I plan to spend to get something decent?
Btw, my apologies if I am changing the subject here.

This time he dropped it on tile and the crystal is in a jillion pieces . . .

my weekend watch is the $85 S/S Invicta ...Gayletmom|1292173800|2794878 said:I'm showing DF's watches to my DH and we are both drooling! One more question, DF.
While I'm saving my pennies for an investment watch, he also needs a good sports watch. Do you have a suggestion for one that will wear well on the weekends, last a long time (I can replace the band) and not be too huge and bulky?

Oh, man! I was at the purists.com as one of the "regulars" when they were the "new thing" and I could have ordered one for $24,000.
That's what he sold them for in the beginning.
And I had the cash.
I could kick myself!
Indeed.. time for bed,maybe i'll have a nice dream...Imdanny|1292919194|2802564 said:Yes, last I heard was around $40,000, and a six year waiting period. The one that got away. Sigh.
His work is magnificent. His complicated pieces are genius. I'll have to settle for a coffee table book on his work one day.
