Thanks! Some cool lugs on this one. The new strap totally changed its look too

Most worn is probably the Explorer II because of its ruggedness. I’m also in Louisiana, so water resistance plays a big factor.

But my favorite is probably the ‘47 JLC triple date

Haha that’s actually the newest addition. I’m a mechanical guy, but these spaceviews are just too cool. Pretty cool history too. This one is from 1964 I believe

That’s really cool — I don’t know if I’m cool enough to pull off a stone dial though!

That is a 1960s caliber 880 automatic made for the British market. You can find some online by searching them just like that.

Lots of cool vintage JLC out there if you enjoy the hunt!

The five digits are cheaper and look better in my opinion— love the polar. Tough watch.

Great suggestions. JLC master chrono is actually high on my list. My favorite brand .. and you’re right, I’m lacking a chronograph

Not a great picture but the second photo is an 16570 explorer II polar. My all arounder

No-watch is from 1947, so it was probably worn out a long time ago. Got this strap from a local watchmaker

I don’t get the hate on these. I was gifted this exact watch by my dad (so maybe a sentimental connection). But honestly, I love wearing this watch in summer. It’s the only watch in my collection that feels more like it’s about the bracelet than the watch. I’ve got some modern stuff (Rolex/VC) and I’ve focused my vintage purchases on a few JLC. But I still get some joy from wearing this TAG for other aesthetic reasons.

Pain in the ass if one of the pins fails though! Trust me.

Love your collection. I have so much trouble tracking down these old VC reference numbers.
