I saw this watch in person a week ago at a JLC boutique. It is stunning. Perpetual calendars rarely have water resistance beyond 50m or even 30m. Both of which are barely suitable for light splashes from hand washing for example. For this watch to be 100m, makes it the perfect everyday watch.

Beautiful - I always think a perpetual calendar sports watch makes sense as it can be worn everyday, whereas perpetual dress watches either need constant resetting or to be kept wound. Obviously, to wear an incorrect perpetual is a crime against horology! I'll look forward to seeing these in the metal - 42mm gives me some concern, although I appreciate it enables clearer reading of the sub-registers.

What doesn't make sense is that it is only water-resistant to 10 ATM. This is more than enough for a sports watch, allowing for swimming/snorkelling, but not for diving....which would be fine if it didn't mean that the dive bezel and dedicated crown are totally redundant.

Buying a watch should always be seen as a longterm investment… and this is not always the case today since more and more see watches only as a financial investment.

Beautiful watch. I only hope they improved their QC, because i have Polaris Chronograph and after only 2 years i hade to send it to the JLC in Switzerland for a repair. Cal 751H is flawed and they know that in JLC. Pinion and fork pallet positioned under the rotor have a tendency to brake, or better to say teeth of the pinion and tips of the pallet grind incredibly fast. This is (for a 12 500 EUR watch) unacceptable.

@@MrPanz3r watches are a pretty good investment actually. Steel sports rolex models, any patek sports model, any royal oak, hell even the stupid "limited edition" speedmasters have seen massive gains that you would have a nearly impossible time trying to get in traditional stocks or other assets. I remember 2-3 years ago steel daytonas were going for around $16-18k on the secondary market and people thought that was insane....now you're not finding one under $45k. IDK what you consider an investment but that sure as hell seems like a good one to me. You could find a 4500v overseas in the low 20's not long ago. $65k is the average now. That is a 300% gain in a year or 2. You'd be hard pressed to get that lucky in crypto. Rich people are absolutely treating watches as an investment.
