It is like comparing a Mango, Apple and a Strawberry. JLC. Not only because it is a Very High end brand, and the other two more top of the Middle, a very good reason is that the initial depreciation/loss of $ has been done by the first owner. So, a Win-Win situation!

It\'s not that complicated! Quote: Originally Posted by Isthmus Did you miss the timeline above?

I\'ve been fed with "don\'t overwind the watch" by my grandpa when he once asked me to help him wind his hand-wound VC. That\'s why I\'ve always been terrified about "overwinding" my automatics.

That was part of my sales spiel, non mainstream, a bit out on the fringe or an aquired taste. Quote: Originally Posted by Dado I will be honest I dont like it.

i have noticed that young people judge people by what they wear, which is dead wrong. I remember a middle aged man a few years ago with cheap jeans and a tshirt in a Benz dealer looking around, the salepeople did not even notice him let along look at him, before long an older salesman started talking to him, he bought a sl55 amg, cash money!! i learned at that second never to judge by looks!

Is JLC a better timepiece than Panerai, or is it name power that puts it in a league of its own? I like the design of the Panerai watches in that price range.
