Anyone else ever get really sad when they buy a watch to give, but then it arrives and you REALLY don’t want to let go of it?? 😂😭

Niiiice! Stay within the brand but it’s like “ok, if I can’t have that one, I’ll just have to get the chronograph version then!” ☺️👍🏻🎉

Have you had it checked out by a watchmaker?  A lot of these JLC Clubs are coming out of India as Frankenwatches.

Ahh it's totally a frankenwatch... new dial, polished case etc etc... for £400 though Im not too fussed. It looks great and its a cracking story. If the movement makes it tick all to the good. When I want a proper JLC I'll drop serious money on a reverso or a polaris. 👍
