WTs are busy in general but I think they nailed this one. Love it.

Forgettable. Nobody will care about this watch in 5 years.

This is right up my alley, but no way I'm forking over for an LE. I love it though.

Interesting strap release mechanism. I don't think I've seen it on a JLC before.

I miss my JLC EWA that had the killer strap release where the lugs actually slid open to release the strap.....

My wife's $500 Hamilton has the exact same thing. Here's the ebay special version

Yeah, but the JLC's are curved. I'm sure that requires a proprietary process and special expertise to execute ;)

Way too busy for me, I figured Wu would love it since he likes complications ;)
I just want to tell time, maybe a simple chrono to time a few minutes, date is optional.
Even though I'm waiting for Pepsi GMT even GMT function is useless for me personally :)

GMT is super useful if you travel. World time is a cool complication, though every one I've ever seen results in an ugly watch which is too large and/or has a cramped dial.

I find World Time is becoming more and more useful as collaboration over remote sites becomes easier and easier. I routinely find myself working with people all over the globe within a single day, and it's kind of nice to know that it's 11 PM in Sydney before giving someone a call. :grin:

That’s a good point. If I were going to get one, it would be your Nomos.

Perfect explanation why you would personally benefit from this watch then :) :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, though the name tries to imply it, the Nomos is just a GMT. It's not a worldtimer.

Just nut up and get this

I actually think that Patek sucks. Those dinky hands on a super buys dial... it's hardly a watch :monkeypiss:

Also, that guy's hand/wrist combo is really odd. Like a man's hand on a little girl's arm.

Been awhile since I checked JLCs website. Those Polaris no dates are sweet! Look like they're priced nicely
