JLC for free

So last week in the VIP room, member deiselpower held a little contest for a free Jaeger LeCoultre replica which I was fortunate enough to win. Well, to my total surprise (a credit to deiselpower, Royal Mail, and Canada Post) the watch arrived yesterday. Only 7 days (5 business days!) from The United Kingdom to Canada! This is the fastest I have ever received a watch, excluding one that was sent in 2 days by Fedex. Deiselpower wrapped, packed, and posted the watch the same day - and that was for free!

In my appreciation I have donated $10 to RWG on Deiselpower's behalf since he paid for the postage out of pocket (I wish it could have been more, but in addition to a few tragedies that have befallen our family recently, I have also become unemployed). Anyway, here are some quick snaps of the watch I took yesterday:

And here's a shot on my massive wrist (actually, I have small wrists, but big arms and big hands). The watch is very small, but my mom saw it and loved it. She asked me if she could wear it so I gave it to her. She couldn't understand the concept of how someone half way around the world - whom I've never met - could give away a beautiful piece like this, so again I must thank deiselpower for his generousity and RWG for the great spirit in this forum.

I made a little clip of the movement and put it to music. We all had a laugh when we saw the movement. I couldn't get a good angle because the watch is really shiny, but here it is:

Great to see the watch has arrived. It is far far better that it is worn and enjoyed than sitting in my bedside watch box unused. I was actually going to make it part of the quiz that the winner donate some money to RWG but I decided not to put that request in as I felt that it was not my place to do so. I am very pleased to see that Giorgio took it upon himself to make that gesture and I wish him well with his job hunting. I am very happy that the watch is being enjoyed (by his Mum ) and hope she gets much satisfaction and amusement from it.

All the best,

Dieselpower

What a fun and unusual watch. I bet it would be a great conversation piece, and a hit at your next party, poker game, or casual get together with friends.

My only question; does such a "porno piece" actually exist in some gen form?

[dieselpower]

Hi Corgi,

I wondered that and I remember reading somewhere that they have been made by some of the Swiss companies by special order only and if I remember rightly a Blancpain erotic sold for $150,000!!

If anyone has any more info it would be interesting.

Nice looking watch, thanks for posting pics Giorgio. Great gesture by Dieselpower.

And Giorgio, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear about the family tragedies. I've had a few in the past, and I know how rough that can make things. I hope things get better and I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Yeah, it is a great gesture and the watch is being fully enjoyed now.

I agree, and although I don't participate as much as many others, it is the one reason I have a total of one post on the 4 other rep sites I've signed up on.

Thanks! My mom actually liked the watch before she knew what was on the back. Now that she knows, she looks at it every so often and giggles like a little school girl. She was showing it off to her friends today and some of them looked very uncomfortable, it was a funny scene. We appreciate it tremendously, thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. I always think that no matter how bad things may seem, someone is worse off than you are and try to be optimistic.

Dude

I have to ask ( forgive me if you've already answered) but where did you get that Reverso?

I'd love one
