Would you flip this -96 bark Day-Date...

For this JLC diver chrono that's as good as new...

esm · 3 October 2011, 07:51 PM

NO - even though i agree that the JLC MC DC is quite a special one, but it isnt special enough to flip a DD Bark for it.... that is obviously my opinion

Java · 3 October 2011, 08:31 PM

In a heartbeat. Not a bark lover. Definitely a JLC lover.

travisb · 3 October 2011, 08:53 PM

The DD is nice but that JLC is sweeeeet!

cparks555 · 3 October 2011, 09:19 PM

I'd take the JLC in a heartbeat, bark just doesn't do anything for me.

z32turbo · 3 October 2011, 10:13 PM

Not me I'd keep the DD.

TSW · 3 October 2011, 10:17 PM

No for me!

Dan Pierce · 3 October 2011, 10:25 PM

As much as I love chronographs the DD would win out ultimately.

NO! What's wrong with you?!

eric23 · 3 October 2011, 11:34 PM

No I would not!

Welshwatchman · 4 October 2011, 01:52 AM

'Fraid I would.

bayerische · 4 October 2011, 03:11 AM

OK, relax, I'm not flipping.

bayerische · 4 October 2011, 05:26 AM

Main reason for not flipping...

SIZE

That JLC is huge! Much bigger than a deep sea!

Maybe. But I didn't feel it that way.

It could be because it is titanium, so it's on the lighter size, especially when it is on straps.

Eric,

the watch is indeed very big but light, and the three crowns makes it look even bigger. So I loved the design, but it's not for me.

Very true Andreas. The crown/pushers and it's locks does add some dimension to it.
I liked the design, and thought the crown and pushers design are quite interesting.... And I liked the blue bits on the dial

I enjoy wearing mine (not as much as I'd liked... But thats the problem we all have

). I have mine on a custom Toshi leather strap and it is very very comfortable (and looks nice too IMO

)

bayerische · 4 October 2011, 07:00 AM

You got that watch Eric???

PICS!

Art 1 · 4 October 2011, 07:40 AM

No way. I'm not a fan of the DD but have handled that JLC and liked it even less.

The only decent wrist pic I have ATM...

It has a "matching" Toshi titanium tang buckle too

psv · 4 October 2011, 09:06 AM

Sorry, not a fan of either.
