The JLC certainly calls to me... It's nice.

Do you know the story about it? I got it at auction NOS...complete with box, tags, sales sticker on the back, etc.

Never worn.

It also tells great time, although the lack of a second hand makes that an easier target.

Mine is a 45 year old version of this, in 18k gold. I have had both brown and black removable, crocodile straps made so that I can change them out according to what I'm wearing.

I have more than 15 watches and can sell them all except this and not miss them at all. I wear the JLC all 7 days, with casual and formal, almost no exceptions.

Not as spectacular as some of the others on this thread but I'm exceptionally happy with my Stowa Antea 390. In the absence of a lottery win, it's going to be my one watch for many years to come.

Wait, what dial swap are you considering on your 5001?
