So which one do I buy?

I bought a lottery ticket today and it's left me with a conundrum. Which dress watch do I buy to celebrate my impending win? ๐Ÿค” Can you really have a watch collection without a Patek? Or does a Jaeger Lecoultre show I'm more intellectual?

PS I bought 2 tickets so I'm very confident. ๐Ÿ˜

I would buy the JLC.

But indeed; do you have a watch collection without a Patek.

ยท

patek looks better

ยท

in this instance JLC but I believe my ultimate grail may be the Patek Philippe 5270/1R. If I won the lottery, that and a Porsche 911 Turbo S would be my first "me" purchases.

Neither! You need to let the plebian masses know who they're dealing with!

No patrician would wear that. Definitely new money. ...

ยท

Both are very nice. Personally, I bought the GS SBGW231 over both of these as I feel itโ€™s the better looking watch. If I had to choose between these 2, Iโ€™d take the JLC.

JLC without question.

ยท

With 2 tickets your chances are doubled. Thatโ€™s very smart ๐Ÿ”

That's being a bit modest with a lottery win. Both makers have models with more bells and whistles. Sure they cost more money but you are winning the lottery. Don't be so cheap. LOL ๐Ÿ˜‚ HAHAHA! Just kidding with ya. I would take the Patek Phillip or something with more bells and whistles. ๐Ÿ˜‚

ยท

As much I love JLC I would, with a lotteri win in my pocket, go with the Patek. Such a classic!

ยท

The answer to such questions is always VC 222.

That's an integrated bracelet sporty thing for the youngsters. Not for dignified gentleman like myself.

Well Iโ€™m out to get my own lottery ticket then ! ๐Ÿ˜…how about a Credor eichi II

ยท

I just like the looks of the JLC more.

ยท

Patek looks better, but Iโ€™d go with a Lange Saxonia.

ยท

Do you have the reference numbers?

ยท

You just won a lottery! Buy both.

You just won a lottery! Buy both.

That would be a little crass.

ยท

PP for me ๐ŸŽฏ

ยท

Jlc since I prefer date at 6 or pick no date small second.

ยท

Lotto winners donโ€™t debate between 2 watches. They buy both. Because they can..

ยท

Based on the two options provided here, I'm assuming a dress watch is what you are after. I did not check when writing this but I think it's safe to assume that the Patek has a higher price tag, therefore I think it comes down to what marginal benefits you are getting with the Patek for the premium over the JLC.

ยท

JLC - better date position. And numerous other reasonsโ€ฆ

ยท

JLC, JLC!
