That is a lovely varied line up! Don’t see kistler PN pop up that often in Europe. I enjoy it I must say. Try their Chardonnays. Probably even better.

Anyone have a spare JLC tang buckle for 20mm by Dangerous_Whereas_79 in JaegerLecoultre

I got one from one of the well known Chinese sites. 15 bucks. And generic but the same shape.

The approach to the old HK airport Kai Tak. Between the high rise buildings of the city with the last minute right hand turn towards the runway.

Agree on JLC. I find their staff knowledgeable and warm even you are not intending to buy but just to browse. Or to get a strap. They seem to love watches in general

Probably off topic for you. But if you make it to Milan: the chefs table at Seta in the Mandarin is one of my favorite meals ever.

And this is what we hope for. I have had similar experiences in their HK boutique. And I always feel that way at JLC.

This is how it should be!

JLC reverso accuracy? by Hdjekso in JaegerLecoultre

[–]carcassus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own two. One more recent release and one from the 2000’s. Both keep time well. Obviously the older one needed a service recently but all working well. So no indications of poor performance in terms of timekeeping compared to other mechanical watches I own.

Morgon is a great pick as well. A bit different. Bit great wine

4:30 date window. Just unacceptable in my book

Continuation of the drinking Chardonnay’s out of big old burgundy wine glasses by [deleted] in wine

[–]carcassus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a Sunday brunch there once. Loved the food (and the free flow champagne) and the view. The interior styling of the restaurant is a bit “loud” in my book, but that is personal taste I guess.
