One great watch IN - One great watch OUT! Wed, 15 October 2014 12:45 Go to previous message

Believe me, this wasn't an easy decision. I love this watch, but I couldn't keep it and bring a new one in that I like even more. You'll see why in a moment. Anyway this beautiful, nearly-perfect JLC Master Control Chronograph was delivered to FedEx last night. Off to a new home, and I hope, to a very happy owner.

Of course I've never been one to let grass grow under my feet - a couple hours later my UPS driver (we're on first name basis now) delivered this one:

The reasons for the switch: The SS model duplicates a couple other ss chronos that I already own. The silver on silver dial/hand combo was a little difficult for my ageing eyes, not impossible but not at-a-glance easy either. The Rose Gold Chrono sang out to me the moment I laid eyes on it. I had to shuffle like crazy to make the deal work. Ironically the gold watch won't get nearly the wrist time as the stainless one would. But when I do wear it it'll feel that much more special.
Thanks for looking
Randy
