Many watches. Fewer wrists.
On the surface, you’d think this was JLC trying to channel their inner Richard Mille. But once you look a little deeper, you realize that this truly is a watch from JLC’s LABoratory. It is by far and away the most complex watch in my collection.

UPDATE APRIL 2018: I traded this watch in April 2018 for another Omega – the Planet Ocean Deep Black Red (215.92.46.22.01.003).

So, knowing all that, do you really have to ask my bezel preference? Continue reading “Review: Rolex GMT II (16710) Coke or Pepsi? Seriously?”
Earlier this year, IWC came out with their new DaVinci line of timepieces. And I was a bit bummed. Continue reading “Quick Review: The IWC DaVinci Chrono – Is it Ugly? I don’t think so… I bought it twice.”
