Hi,
Theres al ot of talk about APs, Panerais, Rolexes etc but i never hear anyone mention JLC. I love their Aston Martin Compressor ( i think it called). I triled calling alll the forum dealers but no one seems to have JLC dive watch or master compressors for sale?
Can anyone recommend??
thanks.

JLC is definitely a very respected watch maker..I've always prefer my watches with in-house movements and JLC is high on my wishlist..not too expensive that it is out of reach..the piece I'll want is the Master Compressor Chronograph..if only I have $12K lying around now!
i love JLC master compressor series ...![]()
I think most JLC fans dont really sell their watches, perhaps they love them too much! The beauty of this brand is that it's not too commercialised & it's always nice to meet another JLC owner in parties or events. I dont wanna sound like some arrogant piece-of-****, but for me to buy a JLC is never about how much I am gonna lose in a year's time, but rather to appreciate the work-of-art & its rarity. And mainly cos I dont like mainstream stuff, be it expensive or affordable.
Here are some of my collection, past & present.

Alfa Spider 3.2 V6- now
Alfa 4C- maybe next time
I think the question here is what doe you mean by popular. JLC has a fairly niche demand which make it hard to command a good price in the second hand market as a result when compared to PAm and Rolexes. But that does not make it less popular...

Interested in JLC reverso but turn off by the thought of Richemont's horrible service.
what horrible service?
i like the shape of the JLC reverso - from afar, it can be identified cos of the classic shape
but it is increasingly difficult to buy
