Hooray - got my JLC back!

[Asterix]

Apparently, I was forwading the reverse face timezone too fast and something got stuck inside and it wouldn't wind.

Took it in, under warantee, at the end of June and I got it back yesterday - 15 weeks!

So nice to have back it was a wedding pressie from the missus (she got a JLC as well) and I really missed it.

I too will have a JLC Reverso when I grow up...

Gratuitous watch shot for the sheer hell of it with the JLC and the missus' main watch - she also has another JLC and a ladies Bond seamaster). Only one of mine missing is the Casio Trek jobbie.

Gratuitous, yeah, and show-off, yeah... but a show-off with impeccable taste.

Mate - I wear these day in day out and I know how bloody lucky I am. They remind me.

These watches, the cars I have the pleasure to punt around in, where I live, remind me every second of every day how fortunate I am (btw - my wife earns the same as me and makes all, I mean all, the clever decisions regarding our life - I'm in awe of her). I'm an average bloke that does the best he can. I buy good stuff because there were a bunch of guys wanting to create something that was world class and I really appreciate that - I've never been a follower of fashion but quality shines. I strive to do the same. Be honest and do the best I can. I try.

Watches encapsulate that and I'm proud to own some stunning peices but I still aspire to a Lange. I need to work harder and cleverer!

I have a Casio that rocks, I have a Rolex that rocks, I have a JLC that rocks etc...

I'm drunk - I'm rambl;ing

Does this make sense?

Edit: I'm inspired by these chattels - it works both ways.

EFA and posterity.

The comment wasn't meant as anything other than a compliment.

If I had those watches, I'd be posting pics too. And that brings me to my next 'compliment' - mate THANK YOU because you have inspired me to have the balls to switch my girlfriend's forthcoming Christmas pressie from an expensive watch that only has value in status, to a watch that has value everywhere and will (hopefully) get her interested in watches as in more than just jewellery that tells the time... I've started another thread...

Asterix - I hear you on the Lange. I was out for a few drinks with a couple of PHers on Thursday night at the Berkeley. We stood in front of the Lange cabinet with such collective lust that we started talking about how to plan a robbery...

Lovely collection by the way. Great taste.
