Both watches are so beautiful, I cant decide. And I would some opinions and thoughts. Looking at the IWC Portuguese 390405 Rose Gold or the JLC Moonphase Gold 39. Anyone have either or both? Im leaning towards the IWC as its a bit more sporty. Thanks…

Poll Is it too much to ask?
I don’t pay much attention to lower cost watches but straps rubbing the case on $14k JLC seems lazy and annoys me. (Getting easier to be annoyed everyday)

I bought this watch in December 2024, and it arrived quickly. The finishing was impressive, though the bracelet felt slightly sharp. In March 2025, the chronograph’s seconds hand detached. Watchdives provided a refund and sent a replacement hand, but the issue persisted. They then sent a new watch head at no cost. Overall, their customer support was responsive and helpful.

Problematic Formex – How to Proceed
My Formex Essence 39mm was truly accurate when new, but after 3 years, it was losing time at the rate of about 8 sec/day. Certainly not chronometer-grade performance. I contacted Formex, and they recommended that I send it to their authorized service c…
