My dream watch is a ladies JLC.
My favorite one is discontinued, but I doubt I will ever actually be shopping for one, anyway.

 

[Imdanny]

Well, my favorite was my JLC MUT. However, I have to say that having known many of the people involved in marketing "the brands" of the industry since the late ''90''s and seeing all of the shilling and "limited editions" and mind numbing consumerism and price inflation, the thrill is gone.

Also, I don''t happen to think that watches should be as big as pancakes. I like one that fits on my wrist. I''m funny that way.

But it''s an interesting question. I like JLC and VC ultra thins, the original MUT which is still in production, and a VC that, as far as I know, has been discontinued. Thanks for asking.

Day to day I wear a Tag Heuer Aquaracer. Just the basic stainless with a stainless face. Very utilitarian but nice looking as well. DH wears an Omega, one of the divers watches, not sure of the model. He also has a Tag and he has a gold Omega he wears for dress. I have a vintage platinum and diamond cocktail watch that I wear for dressy occasions.

HI:

Did you get one too, DF? I love mine.....

I have a Rolex Datejust I wear daily and my diamond Ebel gets worn now when I need some glitz. But it was a staple for 5 years before I got this new watch. Love both.

cheers--Sharon

My everyday watch (the one in my avatar) is a mid-size Rolex Datejust in stainless steel with a pink (more copper in real life) dial. It is simple, classy, and durable and I love it. I also have a gold Concord watch with a diamond bezel that I wear occasionally for a special evening out. A platinum Rolex with diamonds and the ice blue dial would be lovely, but I just wouldn't spend that kind of money on a watch when the steel looks so good.

Oh and Dancing Fire you are worth every penny!!!

When I first set out to find a serious watch I ended up with a Longines 'Grande Classique', here it is. Then before long I discovered a liking for mechanical watches (not a happy development in the wallet department

) and got this one. Then in the end I had to get a manual-winding mechanical, so got this. Needless to say my watch-collecting days are over...for the foreseeable future anyway

JLC watches

Haha DF, your JLC recommendations set me on track to get the best in-house movement for the money, so thanks!

 

[PinkTower]

Which JLC is your favorite?
I think mine is the RDM.

YEP!!

 

[gardengloves]

Thanks so much for sharing ladies and gents. I'm enjoying your watch histories, wish lists and personal favorites.

My wish would be for the old classic, a Cartier tank on a very wonderful leather band, but I do love Chopard.

 

[marcy]

DH is a watch fanatic. He has LaCroix, Tag Hauer, Omega, Bell and Ross and something else. He is always drooling over Panerai but I''m not taking out a second mortgage for a watch.

 

[Blackpaw]

I wear a Longines Dolce Vita (in s/s with roman numerals on the dial)...in the future (not too fussed on getting it now) i would like a cartier tank in s/s

which is essentially the same style as i have now! so my taste is consistent at least...and funnily enough i like rectangular (EC) diamonds as well!

Im not generally one for round watches/stones etc, but i do like the super thin omegas... would love to see some more pics of the beauties everyone is describing

 

[Arcadian]

My current watch is a Oris Artelier. Of all the watches I could have owned, this is the one I just gravitated to. For some it may be too plain but I didn''t want something with diamonds on it. Plus I like the facts its not a quartz watch. I had a yahtmaster that barely got worn.

My husband current watch is a JLC Master Compressor. He tends to upgrade very few years.

[gardengloves]

Another great watch that I would love is a Tag.

My New Year''s resolution is to get back into swimming. Used to swim everyday, and had a Tag with bezel, water resistant that was my constant companion in the pool. Also took it scuba diving and snorkeling. - that watch was amazing. After years of every day pool use and occasional sea water - with a fresh water rinse, never had any problems with it.

Former patek lover, who was ''converted'' thanks to the husband''s love affair for Lange & Sohne. I wear a Lange Grand Saxonia Automatik as my daily watch.

Would love a Lange Datograph, or a JLC Reverso Grande Date next.

he''s my kind of guy.

any wrist shot of your Lange?

 

[Alexiszoe]

DF,

no wrist shots unfortunately since my camera is out on loan. I had the opportunity to see the Lange Tourbograph in NY a few months ago, and the movement is amazing. but the price is even more ''amazing!''

$650K ?

 

[Alexiszoe]

I remember the asking price was about $700k++. the RL pour le merite is another work of art. are you hiding any other langes in your closet?
