Jaeger LeCoultre – opinions

Good morning,

Where do you put the brand?

I always liked the Reverso, it didn`t work for me in person – I just didn`t like it as a size and shape on my wirst ,however my wife is happy with her quartz one and now I am browsing the more affordable Ma…

Thinking way ahead

Advice needed: I just turned 45 years old. I have owned just about every brand of watch except the holy trinity or ALS. Including, GO, Zenith, Blancpain, GP, and all the forum faves (Rolex, Omega, GS, etc.) I would love to get a really nice, high horol…

Is Patek the Rolex of haute horology?

Not trying to set something up as click-bait, just curious about other opinions. They have a history of copying and then out-marketing their competition (sound like anyone else?). Two examples come to mind.

1. VC adopted the Maltese Cross as a logo in…

IWC Yacht Club

There's a certain irony, given the name of the watch, that it took nearly two months to arrive from Germany. Ultimately, it was worth the wait. It needs a resurfacing on the lugs and the engraving on the back removed but, for the price, it'…

While this could have been a good idea we at Watchuseek believe it would be rather b…

Review, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe, Subdued Luxury

The Bathyscaphe is discrete and purposeful and I can't remember where I heard the term but it is "subdued luxury"

43mm wide and 13.4mm thick, it is sportier than its big brother with a sunburst dial that is explosive and ever shifting -…

Why do you buy from independents?

For me it's a combination of a few factors:

1. Bang for buck. You simply get WAY more for your money. The quality difference is outstanding in most cases. No cheap punched out hands, machine finished bevels or stamped guilloche with most high qua…

BREITLING, Geneve, Kronometer Stockholm “765 AVI”

Greetings!

I have just acquired fresh to the market, completely unmolested but beaten-up Breitling 765 AVI retailed by Kronometer Stockholm ( co-signed dial ) from the very late 50s.

My plan is to source missing original parts ( crown, pusher and sma…
