Did you mean go Hoyas?

I'm deep in enemy territory here. Even the wife went to 'Nova.

Just came across this and thought I'd share as it's a good deal, but Jomashop has this Reverso for more than 50% off msrp:

http://www.jomashop.com/jaeger-lecoultre-watch-q2782520.html

Apparently it's only for 72 hours.  Note it will certainly be box without papers and if you return it I think at that price there's a restocking fee.  Anyway, thought it looks a good deal on a nice piece.

Holy Cow. Excellent deal on that watch.

I don't mind telling you that I paid a decent % above that for mine (albeit from an AD, with all the bells and whistles).

Added: I've never bought from jomashop but after surfing there a bit, they've got some good deals going on Cartier and VC as well. (If you're okay with purchasing via gray market, obviously).

Recently picked this puppy up. I've wanted a 5513 for quite a while (4-5 years), and couldn't justify to myself getting one from the 70s, so a late 80s has done it for me. Has some slate grey patina to the dial. Bracelet needs some work but for a watch this old, can't really complain too much. Otherwise very happy with it.

I purchased a returnable piece from them that was below the threshold of having to pay a restocking fee. I ended up returning it and thus had to ship it back myself, but that didn't cost too much. It was entirely legit though and had everything you'd expect minus the warranty papers and thus manufacturer's warranty. That is replaced by the Jomashop warranty, however I would go straight to say JLC in this instance if I needed anything done. I think it depends on the discount and the brand to a degree as to whether or not to go with them. If it's say a Rolex, well with still only limited discounting vs a five year warranty I'll go with the AD. With say another brand though and/or perhaps a shorter warranty I might go Jomashop. Still from what I've seen of late you can even beat Jomashop's price by getting a slightly used piece from another grey dealer but with also full warranty. These tend to be one-offs, but they can also be nearly new pieces. (In fact I think I tend to see certain references "flood" the grey market as if a brand is getting rid of some of it's inventory). They do have some excellent deals from time to time though. The one thing I would recommend however is to definitely make sure they have the item in stock as I've read stories of people waiting quite some time.

Very nice watch. I actually quite like it myself, but considering what I have, what I want and my budget it's not something I'd move for. Still it's very tempting at that price. Very classic and timeless looking piece and I really like the center of the dial.

Yeah it definitely does not carry Rolex. Ardmore is Omega, IWC, Piaget, Nomos, Patek, GO, JLC, B&R, Breitling and maybe Hamilton I want to say.

We should probably invite @in stitches

Close. No JLC, and it has FP Journe.

 

[DLJr]

Did they get rid of the JLC display? I think it was between IWC and Breitling. FP Journe used to be only in Philly, it'll be nice if they added it. I'll be right next door next Monday, I'll have to check it out.

Yup. Was there a few weeks ago visiting family and the team told me that it's a permanent switch. I went in specifically to see a JLC piece.

Beautiful watches today all

 

[Krish the Fish]

Thanks all!

Yes! congrats KtF ... looks like a keeper.

I love it. Better than I thought it would be. I think both of the watches I have (2254.50 sword hand Seamaster and this) will be ones I keep for a very long time.

Fwiw, I bought my Speedy on Jomashop. Got a great deal and had no issues. But I can't say I would ever make use of their warranty. I look at the gray market discount as a sort of "early AD service Russian Roulette."
