JLC Reserve De Marche arrived and loving it

[Java]

Received my RDM on Friday just before leaving for France, just got back yesterday. Obligatory wrist shot plus others attached.
The watch arrived on a dreadful buffalo strap (someones idea of a joke I think). I took that off straight away and gave it a temporary lend of a rather fetching yellow ostrich strap, which normally adorns my WG Diamond bezel GP Richeville. Not really the right strap for it, so I have ordered a lovely alligator (£250, but that's how much I love it) strap in blue. I will post more photos when it is sitting comfortably in it's more suitable strap.
Meanwhile wrist shot and some pics of my watch enjoying the spring gardens of our family's home in Brittany. Plus a shot of my wife' and her TT Yachtmaster cooking.
I like this watch much more than I expected to. Something to do with it's enormous presence, almost a dichotomy to it's incredible discretion and modesty. Truly an object lesson in design.

That's great, Tim! Fine looking watch, a real classic.
Thanks for the photos!

Wear it in great health! :)

Cool looking watch ( minus the strap of course) . I was half expecting a shot of you running after a bird that had flown away with the watch ;)

I did take the precaution of checking for Magpies before taking the photos.

Yeah, I guess after living in such a tiny place for so long, Java's kitchen seems rather grand.

Dressed in Red Pearl Ray now.
I like it, but maybe the Blue Alligator will suit it better. When it comes I will post pics. But right now I am loving it in red. My other watches are not getting worn.

Something I've noticed about this series of JLC watches is that they seem to be able to take any strap and still look great.

Now on a more permanent blue croc.
The best so far I think.

Blue is one of JLC's OEM colours.
Looks great, Tim! :)
