New Acquisition

A few months ago, I got to thinking about the fact that I didn't have a watch with a second time zone complication. Of course, the more I thought about it, the more I knew I needed one. My first thought was a GMT Master II, which seemed to be the obvious choice. However, once I started researching my options, I came across the JLC Master Compressor Geographic and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I didn't have a JLC in my collection, but I have an Atmos clock which I inherited from my uncle. Soooo, a couple of weeks ago, DavidSW just happened to have one on his site and I contacted him and here's the result. Thanks to David for a very smooth transaction, even though I had what I think might have been an unusual request. Great watch at a great price from an outstanding trusted seller.

Huge congrats, I love JLC. But why do you say "an unusual request"? Nothing unusual IMO about a JLC which is for me one of the top brands, just below Patek and Lange IMO

i think its been discontinued a while so maybe that is why it was unusual.

In any case I love that watch probably my favorite JLC and prefer it over the master geographic.
