So here's the second watch I bought after selling 4 this week. JLC Master 8 Days I've wanted this watch since the day Chip & I saw it at Deboulle. I found a seller who had a year old one that has been sitting in the safe deposit box the entire time. Of course he was nice enough to wind it once a month. The watch could easily pass as new....without the "new" price. ;D Being 41mm, it's not as dressy as a traditionally smaller dress watch. Think I'm going to pick up a nice brown gator with white stitching to dress it down a hair as well. And of course....the back.... So far the only downside I can find is that I only get to wind it once a month.

You mean wind it once a week? Congrats Sam! That watch is just awesome, and I also like the 41mm size a LOT.

You mean wind it once a week? Yeah....week. Sometimes a screaming 6 month old causes you to make a type.

If you think it looks good in the pictures, you need to see it in person. Knocks your head right off it's swivel! Congrats and wear it in good health!
