... see it in the flesh. Unfortunatly, there is only 2 AD's that are JLC resellers in Beirut. One of them is has all the good brand, like PP, lange, VC, etc... but they ppl working there are the unbearable. They got the JLC perpetual squeleton, i ask to look at it to try it on, the guy tells me to look at it, but not to try it on! hehehe... funny but unbelievable. Was going to order my 5712R from there, a friend of mine got it after a month waiting, u understand that after that, even if they offer it to me, i wouldn't take it.
Now the good news, is that the other AD is extremely nice and friendly, and from what i know, they have the best relation with JLC, as their CEO ( Jerome Lambert ) was invited by them here, and they made a huuuge party in his honour. So hoping...
Btw, for your info, JLC ( and IWC ) is very popular in lebanon. When i talk with friends in Paris, london, milan, etc... the image of the brand is still not very strong. Its maybe changing with new models like the duometre, gyro, tourbillon, etc... Over here, i've been asking almost every month to my AD about the duometre, we are still waiting. And the crual part is that i buy all my watches from France, as the price is unbeatable!! ( usually 40% off... with the detax )
Did i tell u before that ur the one that made me discover in depth that brand? ... the huge marketing, advertising campaign in the lebanon got me intrigued, and ur the one that got me the answers
