Giving a Sub a run for its money!
This watch is going to give some Rolex owners including me something to think about . At 42mm its perfect and a very classic looking diver.

it is a good looking watch, i like the broken numbers and the edging on the bezel.
but, without a metal bracelet it wouldn't work for me as a daily wear. My sub goes to "1,000" feet, beating out the JLC by a cool "16" feet

I like it but the crownguards need fattening up a bit!

Congratz and a perfect brand..... but for me personally I prefer the SubC & the new model Breitling Superocean more.
Each his own as we say

I find the hands on that watch very difficult to read at a quick glance. They should fatten up the hands a bit and offer the watch on a bracelet.
The JLC is nice enough, but I would take the Sub C any day of the week.

JLC divers (except the Polaris tribute) fit like a tank. I tried 1 on at the AD...no way I could wear that comfortably for any length of time
I'm excited to try the Breitling SuperOcean Heritage in the new 42mm size. Obviously not as nice as a sub-c, but a nice option at only $3K. |

this is a new 42mm from JLC, not the 44mm that you tried on.
Actually I do think they should offer a bracelet version, as it would be much better, but for myself, I do not wear my sub or my explorer II on the bracelet that often. I find myself wearing zulu's or nato's. also the watch does not seem to be too tall for 14mm high. sits very well on my 7 1/8" wrist. Go nylon nation go!! Quote:

Guys, don't get me wrong here. I love subs, I love dwellers as well, but the sub ceramic does not do it for me. For a new watch this is a great choice, for a vintage watch, Sub all the way! |

I do like the look of the JLC better than the Sub C but have to agree that without a bracelet it would lose to the Sub if I were in the market for a new diver.
