vlaletom Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I am a big fan of JLC. Unfortunatly this brand is underestimated by reps factory. Maybe they dont see a strong selling power unlike pam or rolies. But i am shure the first one than can produce a decent case for the compressor series (with screwed crown guard) would sells very very well around here. Anyway i picked up the Master reserve de marche as it is one of the best reps around (simple case). Got it from trusty and it quicly arrived home in a nice children toy package The one i got is the older rep version with the see-thrue back (flow) and and only the 9 and 12 marker writen, as opsed to the 2006 series with 3-6-9-12. The rep of the new series doesn't have a see thrue case, but the bottom is still wrong anyway (should be gold color not steel). The RDM reps is really good looking, the case looks credible (heavy strong steel) contrast between polished bezel,crown and brushed case i very good. The dial is just gorgeous. The date hands move with a pushed like the gen. Exept the see thrue back that nobody can see when you wear it, the only flow was that the second hands tip is painted in red (as some other watch in the compressor series), but the RDM should be plain black. So i painted it black. Next step was to had a nice aligator strap and voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 A stunning example of a great rep at a reasonable price. Fabulous seiko/myota movement too. I painted the hand as well and relumed the dial and hands in regular lume (not super) as per the gen. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I agree. Fabulous rep at a reasonable price. I invested in mine as well and had the hand painted and relume done. Considering Double AR because it is such a nice dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
