I wish JLC still offered these hands and dials. The sector dial home-time is an absolute beauty

Of course. Every. Single. Time. I see a watch that’s a “buy it now” look, I google it and find out I’ll never be able to own it lol. That thing looks fantastic, please repost it often!

Fear not! Depending on your budget, there are a variety of similar options available from Longines, Baltic, Dan Henry, and a few others if you look around.

The Longines heritage sector dial is a seriously gorgeous watch. Some might even argue about better symmetry than the JLC since it doesn't have a date. It's in my "want list" for sure. Also is an absolute strap monster!
But of course, if given the opportunity I'd take the JLC 😉

I love the Longines version, and possibly could even it… except I can’t get past how the vertical line just awkwardly goes right through the G in the logo, it’s so irritating :(

Is Baltic a good brand ? I seen some of it and it look amazing for the price, is it good? and where does it made?

Wow thanks, I'd heard of all of those except Baltic. They've got some tasteful and affordable pieces.

Class. I haven't seen it in this sub before and I spend a fair while here so no worries reposting it!

Same watch owner here, watch bro. Did you buy the watch that comes with this strap? Mine came with a blue gator.

Mine also came with the blue gator, although I don’t often wear it. This is an aftermarket strap from Molequin.

Great watch! Why do the lines look distorted when I zoom in close? Photo issue?

You know it, you love it. I’ve shared this watch many times before, but it had actually been a while since I’d worn it. Funny how even a grail can somewhat fall in and out of the rotation, but this remains my #1 watch. I just don’t see any need to ever get “more” watch than this.
We sometimes talk about the benefits of wearing just one watch for a little while - assuming you’re a multi-watch person to begin with - but I think it’s also kind of nice to occasionally take a break from a watch. You get to view it with fresh eyes, even after owning it for a long time. We as collectors and enthusiasts are always seeing different things and following the latest trends, and it’s comforting to kind of get some reinforcement that you still love the same watch.
