Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire for a while now. You know, the one with the Dual-Wing concept? It’s a real beauty. I’m totally into that dual-wing thing, and I made up my mind to get a JLC. But then I got stuck deciding between the Chronograph Cal 380 and the Quantième.
I did a little digging and found out that the Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire came out in 2010. It’s the second watch they made with that Dual-Wing thing. This one’s got a fully closed dial, which I like. And the moon-phase display is tucked right inside the hour and minute subdial. It’s pretty neat.
Then I started looking into getting an imitation. I mean, the real deal is way out of my budget. So I’m trying to find a good imitation that looks and feels like the real thing. I know, I know, it’s not the same, but it’s close enough for me.
Finding the Imitation
First, I hit up all the usual spots online, looking for any info on where to find these imitations. I spent hours browsing forums, reading reviews, and comparing pictures. I even found some places that offer imitations, but I’m not sure if I can trust them.
I looked at a bunch of pictures and specs of the Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire. I compared them to the imitation ones to see how close they are. Some of them look pretty good, but others are way off. The case of the Duometre chronograph looks almost the same as the Quantieme Lunaire, which is a good sign.
Making the Purchase
After a lot of back and forth, I finally decided to pull the trigger. I found a seller that seemed legit and had good reviews. I placed the order, and now I’m just waiting for it to arrive.
I’m a bit nervous, to be honest. I hope I didn’t get scammed. But I’m also excited to finally get my hands on this watch, even if it’s just an imitation. I’ll let you guys know how it goes once I receive it.
Update:
- The watch arrived! It took a while, but it’s finally here.
- First impressions: it looks pretty good! The details are on point, and it feels solid.
- The moon-phase display is working, and the Dual-Wing mechanism seems to be functioning as well.
- Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great imitation for the price.
So there you have it. My journey to getting an imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire. It wasn’t easy, but I think it was worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your research and be careful who you buy from. You can find some good deals out there if you look hard enough.
