Anyone own a JLC Master Compressor Extreme WorldChronograph?

[Murph7355]

Still dithering in choosing a final automatic chronograph.

Daytona and Panerai were my previous "first" choices. Former is still high on the list.

Someone previously mentioned the JLC and having looked at photos it might be an option, subject to size - it sounds like it might be quite huge! Does anyone have one?

And to make my dithering worse, other suggestions welcomed - has to be auto; has to be chronograph; price an abs max of 7k; doesn't have to be new but must be like new and complete with all bits and bobs.

I have one and love it. Doubt you will get one new as prices have gone up a lot due to exchange rates and are now around £9k at Heathrow T5. They are big watches (I have big wrists) but not as big to look at as IWC Big Pilot.

How does the world time function work? Presumably the dial's set somehow with the top left crown?

It looks like it's a bit slimmer than my Omega SMP Chrono, but quite a bit bigger across the face...think I might need to try one on.

You set the current time and then read the time in various countries- I always use this watch for travel!

They are great watches , quite a bit bigger than the Omega SMP . The case sits quite high on the wrist. I had a Valentino Rossi version early this year, great watch!

i have the jlc master compressor geographic in stainless steel and its stunning slightly smaller than the extreme although still a big watch.

I've just been gawping at one in a shop window, the thing *is* big, looks very thick. It out did everything else in the window, fine choice.

Though if it's as big as the other guys are noting I might end up shying away...6' 4" with the wrists of a 4'6" girl
