Are JLC not that popular in SG?

[wheresjoey]

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.

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

Looking forward to getting my master control 8 days perpetual calendar

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 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.

[ichiban]

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

And your collection includes the Marlboros?

Jlc reverso tribute to 1931 is a classic beauty

For those keen in JLC, try not to go to MBS boutique as the service is lower than most expectation. Seriously!

I just visited the boutique and spend a good one hour there. I got to try on the Extreme Lab and the sales representative ( if I remember correctly, his name is Benjamin) was very enthusiastic in explaining the various details to me even though both he and myself knew that there was little possibility that I could ever carry this off on my 6.5" wrist.

I never feel any hesitation or tardiness when I asked to try on the various Amvoxes and Reverso. It was the same experiences I encountered in the JLC boutiques in KL and HK.

I can't comment on your specific experience but I would urge that you do visit the boutique again and politely request for help. You might be pleasantly suprised with a new experience.

I did not brought anything on that trip but i am certain my next watch will definitely be a Jaeger, again.

I also had a very pleasant experience at mbs jlc. Didn't buy anything but the sales rep was very polite and enthusiastic about showing me the pieces I was interested in.
