A Tribute To Week...
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 14th, 2014-11:54
Hello JLC-fans, Most of you might think of me as a hard-core vintage nut... Well, I am! But, when I look into my watch box, I do see some modern watches as well. One thing I find interesting is that of the few JLC watches I have bought new from AD since 2...
Please...

A couple other Tributes to match my TT Deep Sea. (Tudor Heritage Black Bay, IWC Vintage Collection Aquatimer). ...
Great trio of Tributes!
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2014-22:35
The Aquatimer I was really close to jump on when IWC released the Vintage Collection... IMO, the best of the IWC Vintage Collection. Best Blomman
What a great couple you have here!
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2014-22:31
I really like the brown courdova strap on the Reverso. :) Thank you for joining. Best Blomman

How could I forget?! Such a great moment! :) Well, never too late - especially to this post as I will go on for one week. This was only day #1... Best, dear friend Blomman
I have mixed feelings here...
By: Goldenlutin : January 15th, 2014-14:52
I agree with you that they are great looking watches but as a vintage collector, I am wondering how these "fake" old watches will age. They already pretends to be old... How will a fake patina looks in 20 or 30 years (patina on patina)?... These watches w...
Interesting thoughts...
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2014-16:56
Hello Goldenlutin, Interesting to read your thoughts on the subject. I am no pure vintage watch collector. So my thoughts are a bit different... Guess I am more like Dexter, living two lifes... But in my case it's more one foot in the past and one in the ...
Thanks for your answer, my point was/is....
By: Goldenlutin : January 16th, 2014-11:54
First of all, I am happy that people enjoy their re-editions. My point was just to say that in an historic perspective, these re-editions do not refer to the period we do live in but to the past. That is why I wrote that they don't have an own story to te...
I still not really agree with you, Goldenlutin
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 17th, 2014-10:26
But, that is the great thing with this forum - we are all entitled to our own opinions. And there is no rule that we all have to agree. But, I must ask since your argument is that if you change something when making a new version it is OK, but not OK to m...
That is a very interesting point of view, Goldenlutin.
By: amanico : January 18th, 2014-23:16
These Tributes have another mission: To allow people to discover the past of a brand. If some didn't know the Polaris before its re edition, many more didn't know the the Deep Sea Alarm existed. To revisit the past helps to visit, to know it. Can we compl...

By: Goldenlutin : January 25th, 2014-02:52

Fake watches they are not
By: taylorkimdds : January 15th, 2014-18:55
While I understand your reasoning, to call these watches " fake" is quite inaccurate and offensive. I myself was not born early enough to be able to purchase these watches at their original releases. I'm however thankful that JLC was able to offer these "...
Aaah Goldenlutin...
By: amanico : January 15th, 2014-21:45
Most of thre current JLC production has a strong link with the padt, and can be considered as Homages or Tributes. I hear you as a vinage collector, I totally agree with you that nothing will replace vintage watches. Are these Tribute here to replace the ...
Still hunting...
By: Goldenlutin : January 16th, 2014-12:03
Hi Nicolas, Geophysic: still hunting... But I am not the only one. I would not be astonished at all, if JLC launches a tribute/homage/reedition of it THIS year (we will see on Monday). It would almost be logical. I do hope that it will be DIFFERENT from t...
It has been announced for year, Goldenlutin.
By: amanico : January 16th, 2014-12:08
We'l see if this year is the year of the Geophysic.... But if they do so, it won't compete with the original, it will just be a modern offer who will offer the possibility for people who don't know it to rediscover it... IF JLC re edits it! I've put a pic...

Now you are cheating..! ;)
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 16th, 2014-22:35
But I do not blame you - the Geophysic is always a great choice! :) We are really riding the same wave here, my friend. I wore mine just before I started this TT week... ;) Best Blomman
No I am scared...!

Phantastic find.. Timeless elegance .. The only thing .. ;)
By: hs111 : January 19th, 2014-09:04
