jlc duometre a quantieme lunaire 40.5 rg or de bethune db27 titan hawk
hi all...its holiday season again!and that means...an excuse to indulge!
have the 2 watches above for consideration!managed to try the jlc today,however, my regular salesguy still hasnt received the db27 yet..probably around xmas,he tells me. i know the watches differ in material,complications, and probably everything else,with the only similarity being it telling the time and date...but which of the above would you choose?and why! p.s: as for pricing issues,even though the de bethune has a higher retail price,ive managed to be able to get 40% off retail for the db27, and around 26% off the jlc..thus after discounts,they are roughly within usd$2k of each other(jlc being more expensive in the end!!) pics of both!pics of the titan hawk courtesy of hodinkee.com! |

De Bethune will always get my vote in most comparisons.

sorry but the JLC ~1/6 second hand makes me anxious, looking at it kind of freaks me out.
aside from that the JLC is a really good looking watch and looks great on your wrist!

Although I love DB my vote goes to this JLC, it's just too beautiful!

I prefer the JLC just beacause I really like that watch.
De Bethune is another league, more interesting than JLC but I do not like these cases. They look to modern. They also have more classic cases and watches See these DB1 CHRONO : http://www.bruno-wristwatches.blogsp...20monopoussoir DB15 PERPETUAL :http://www.bruno-wristwatches.blogsp...Bethune%20DB15 These De Bethune are amazing, but like said the case makes imo the difference And the one you talk about is the toher style, so I would take the JLC if I had to choose between your 2 watches

JLC, but that watch looks a little large on you (it looks like the lugs over hang your wrist) in those shots. Only you know what it looks like in person.

Another vote for the Duo! I am patiently waiting to see how my 42mm will fare since Jaeger decided to produce the 40.5mm version! Good luck!

40,5mm is definitely a size I would see myself wear!

JLC. It's gold, it looks cool, and it has a nice complication.
