Beautiful watch! I picked up the blue one and love it. Yours looks amazing.
Now THIS is a collection damn son
Now THIS is a collection damn son
good video and review
Outstanding video, I really enjoyed hearing your feedback. Just out of interest, what was the reference of the GMT you mentioned? Before you got the later one with sandwich dial. Forgive me if I missed it. Thank you. Best regards, TGV
MASTER CONTROL CHRONOGRAPH CALENDAR could you explain how to set up the Moonphase on that watch? I find the instructions confusing…
I couldn't decide between Green and Blue, but after watching your video, I went with Green. I think the gradients look nicer on Green compared to Blue. Can you share the link to the strap you use?
Very detailed review. Well done.
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Great review. I just got my blue dial and love it. I ordered a blue and orange rubber strap for it as well on Aliexpress.
The color seems to bring out a nice green in some lighting. Great review!
New subscriber, love the content and keep up the great work!
Very good job
I absolutely love your Polaris, especially on the bracelet. It's so refreshing to find a channel that doesn't discuss Rolex and/or Omega exclusively.
Thank you for the kind words! I do love me some Omega though😂- I do love the Polaris line. An under appreciated chrono
nice review whats your wrist size? thx
Apologies for the delay! 7.25 inches
@@JimiTime1 thanks man. looks great
As an attorney, the hours counter is super useful (for billing time). It’s automatic, thin enough to fit under a dress shirt cuff and doesn’t make me nervous like a Daytona. This and the 38mm Zenith El primero are best in class.
That’s a really good use case I never considered! Thanks for the great share
IMPRESSIVE. JUST SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL MY BRO.
Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated 👊🏽💪🏽
Great review and insight! New subscriber here 👍
Mido Multi Star TV Case 70'S Vintage Automatic Men's Watch Swiss ETA 2879 - MIDO introduced their first TV watch in 1973. Patek did not release the Nautilus until 1976, good review but this shoud be corrected, in any case the Nautilus has many similarities to Mido TV Case same as the Glashutte Original of Soviet era East Germany, Mido TV case is the Original look at the Mido Multi Star. last but not least: In 1979 Piaget introduced the Polo, after the 1976 Nautilus and 6 Years after Mido Multistar TV case.
Oh man thanks for the correction. The Mido has even more street cred then I thought. I think the GO looks amazing as well
Hi from Spain. Cool watch. Please share the orange strap when you get it. Enjoy 👍
Thank you!!! I finally sourced a pink and orange sting ray straps!!! Gonna be a fun one to wear
I love this collection! You and I have similar tastes. I love JLC and Cartier like you and their elegance in their collections speaks to me. Keep going and wear them in good health.
Thank you so much! It's great to hear we share similar tastes in watches. JLC and Cartier indeed have a timeless elegance that's hard to beat. I appreciate your support and kind wishes. I'll definitely keep sharing and enjoying these beautiful timepieces. Wear yours in good health as well!
Hello from France and thanks for this video. It's really rare to watch a video about this german brand, and especially from someone who owns one watch. Congrats!
Hello from the other side! Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video. This German brand truly deserves more recognition, and I'm happy to share my experience with their timepieces. Merci beaucoup!
Nice video. Inflation and the recent price jumps have been BRUTAL. You're 100% correct about that.
Thanks again for watching and for your comment! Inflation and the recent price increases have indeed been brutal on all of us. It's definitely a tough time for actual collectors. The massive resale hike on Rolex models don’t make it easier. I'm glad the video resonated with you, and I appreciate your support!
Great collection. It's a nice mix of a few heavy hitters that we all know and desire, as well as many that are very personal to you alone and your unique enjoyment of the hobby. Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the collection. It's always a pleasure to share pieces that resonate both broadly and personally. The blend of well-known models and personal favorites truly reflects my journey and passion for the hobby. Your support and feedback mean a lot!
Nice review. I own a Santos (like you) and love it. Cartier is right at the intersection of sporty and dressy, which I really appreciate.
The Santos is amazing! Glad to meet a fellow Santos owner. It’s such a great design
Just remind me how many wrists you have 😊😊😊 Lovely collection, thanks for the video 👍
🤣😂 thanks for watching! For the record, I have 14. Two for each day of the week 🙃
Got one on fabric hybrid strap , killer watch good movement and badass. Wear anywhere
Hit the nail on the head. That hybrid strap is so sick
Looks awesome on the nato. That black bracelet... not too sure lol.
The Black Bracelet is what makes it IMO! You’ll have to experience it, I’m telling you everyone who tries it on instantly fall in love.
Great video! Thanks for a different perspective, service times and cost, that we don't get to see from other channels!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
really great watch. thanks for sharing all the details.
As always thank you for watching and commenting! Means a lot!
650 service on a JLC, that is amazing. I’ve got the 50th Anniversary Polaris Memovox, I can only dream of a 650 service on that. How is yours running, I saw you have the previous model (which I think I like more) with the almost pumpkin fauxtina. That’s a beauty.
My Memovox is running great. I wear that one quite often. I love the alarm complication
$650 is cheap for a big Swiss brands tbh
It actually is. I think Omega is north of $800?
I had my JLC Master Compressor Diving GMT 44mm serviced and substituted the Bezel … almost $2K … worth it.
I always wanted to know how the 44MM wears. Curious of your wrist size?
@@JimiTime1 between 7.4 and 7.5
If you know you know
👊🏽💪🏽
Great review
Thank you for the kind words!
Did you ever find some straps that you liked for this? (Great review, BTW!)
I did! The alpine rubber strap in orange has been the daily. I was going to order the orange OEM strap, but I really enjoy this one.
I’m under 40 and love JLC, and this watch specifically. Really like the dial, and the ss bracelet makes the watch very versatile (which I think the watch lacked with just the calfskin strap). Was able to get mine for $17.5k with the ss bracelet from my AD
Thank you for the tip! Maybe I’ll be lucky and save a few coin when I decide to get mine lol. Congratulations on yours, adding a chronograph to this complication is just a stellar combo! If you don’t mine me asking, how long have you had it? Any thoughts on the wearing experience you can share?
@@JimiTime1 about 6 months. It’s been great. Don’t wear it as my everyday, but you definitely could. Like I said in my initial comment, just a really versatile watch on the bracelet that works for both casual and dressy situations. 40mm is a great diameter for my wrist size. Slim profile for a chronograph. Like the bracelet a lot (looks and feels good on the wrist, easy to use micro adjust, etc). Don’t have any negatives, honestly. Also, this is very much personal preference, but I really like the look of the watch. White / silver-ish dial that plays with the light, subtle contrast with blue subdial hands, symmetrical, etc.
@@Smplctyy it’s such a stunning timepiece…I’m more of a strap than bracelet guy, so maybe I can save a bit more. I no longer have a moon phase complication in the collection
Subscribed! I'm looking for this watch. Chrono24 prices are one thing, I'm not sure exactly what the going rate is for them but I'd guess it's a bit under retail. My old friend from grade school sells watches, among other things and I'm hoping he can give me a good deal and give me a better sense of what these watches actually go for. I plan on trading three watches for it and hopefully don't have to pay a penny, but that might be dreaming. I'm 32 and also a JLC fan boy. You're not the only one! I've liked this watch for at least five years. While I don't love the price increases, JLC is still undervalued, and I'm grateful for that. Look at how nuts VC prices are. They sell a non chronograph steel complete calendar with a moon phase for 24.7!!!! And the time only version at least, is a Cartier-made movement. Shame! lol. JLC might be the best bang for buck for watches in this class. I think it's hard to argue against that.
Thanks for subscribing and for your thoughtful comment. It's great to hear from another JLC fan! You're right about the prices on Chrono24-there can be a bit of fluctuation. Trading three watches for a JLC sounds like a solid plan! I traded twk watches for my 1968 Memovox Tribute, and don’t regret it! I completely agree with you about JLC being undervalued compared to brands like VC. The craftsmanship and heritage of JLC make it a standout choice in the luxury watch market. Despite the price increases, they still offer incredible value for what you get. Good luck with your search, and feel free to share any updates on your watch journey!
Sir, can you do a video about how the bracelet link are adjusted please? I love that you wear your watches without babying them. Congrats.
Thank you! And I’ll try, it’s a pain in the rear , but it’s a pin and collar system. I had to use a pin and rubber mallet
Just discovered you channel. Cool review of such an underrated watch, altough in Mexico they are a bit more known. Recently acquired the special edition "Season 01" with the multicolor dial and it's so nice and fresh. the best watch I have seen from MIDO in a long time. BTW the orange strap is super cool.
Thank you! I wasn’t sure how the combo would work, but thought it looked amazing!
First time view of your channel. Very good, thank you. Now a subscriber.
Thank you for the kind words!
Hey! Can u tell me what your wrist size is? Great down to earth review!
thank you!!! It’s 7.25 inches
Noce reviews keep em coming. Your bangle worries me though! It doesnt scratch the watches? Cheers!
Actually, no. I’ve sold many watches over the decades without issue! I wear them pretty fitted, so they don’t slide. Thanks for the kind words!
Cool watch, still debating whether I should pull the trigger. Very affordable luxury watch btw
Really great an affordable way to experience a Swiss chronograph. It looks pretty dam awesome too
Got a doxa sub 200 in blue, imo it looks better than my previous tudor bb58
Hi Jimi, can you share the size of your wrist. Great review. This one is on my short list
Great watch! 7.25 inches
This is my "everyday" watch that I wear for work or for outside activities. (I have an Omega SMP and a Tudor BB58 that I wear for "best.") Sometimes the (in)accuracy of the 6r movement bothers me, but I find the more that I wear the watch, the more accurate it is. I keep it on the rubber strap it came with; I really like that strap, but seeing it on some different strapes in your video makes me want to swap it out and experiment with other straps. It's an awesome looking watch, and when the sun hits that green sunburst dial it in the daytime it makes me smile; then I go inside to work and the lume just glows... It's a beauty, to be sure.
I got a BB steel, i can swap for a cartier santos L, plus 2500US. Obviously I add the money. I fancy a change. What do you think?
Are you asking to trade your black bay for my santos?
No no sorry I wasn't clear there is a guy here in Thailand wants to trade my BB and 2500 US for his Cartier. I was asking what you thought 😊
Michigan fan here. Nice review. I just did subscribe. When you said "source" a strap, I guess you didn't mean from Mido? If so, I would be glad to hear an update on what kind of rubber (or other strap) works for this watch.
I found this great inexpensive one on Amazon. Search Alpine rubber strap
@@JimiTime1 Thanks dude.
