Don't ever ever buy a Jaeger LeCoultre...

My master compressor chrono arrived today, it's so beautiful, the dial is amazing, the strap is top notch, I saw a lot of watches before making up my mind and none of them did what the JLC does for me, Im so glad I chose this chrono. the problem is that now I want 2 other JLC's, but before I want the new blue TT sub. let's see what happens. So dont ever buy one, because the same thing that happened when I got my first rolex is happening now with JLC, I want, need and crave every model that smiles at me in they'r collection

Nice looking collection.
Keep toying with getting an 8 Day Master perpetual Calendar.
What are the other two JLC's that you would like to get?

When I saw the title I was worried!
Here is my Grand GMT Reverso. It is beautiful and let me tell you, it is more accurate than any of my Rolex. I am getting -15 in 30 days!

JLC standards are ostensibly and apparently higher than Rolex when it comes to accuracy. Precision, is another story.

They where limited edition and are sold out, have to look at the grey market for that one, but yes, I would like a new polaris more than anything right now

I tired on the JLC at an AD a few weeks ago and I'm hooked.
Similar model as yours, but the world time extreme.

The quality of the watch is just amazing - but at $14K, it's something I have to save up for.
It's on my short list for my next top-end watch.
