    I guess not as mainstream as the rolex or APs, but definitely a very respectable watch maker.

    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 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.

    I rather push my Alfa Romeo than drive a BMW

    Alfa 33
    Alfa 147
    Alfa GT
    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.
