Horological Meandering

I learned a lot about vintage JLC watches from you. Thank you, Constantin

I am very happy to read this, Constantin! For me that is what's all about - to share with eachother and through that learn more about the watches we love! :) Hope to be able to continue that route also here in the GP forum. Best Blomman
