jdoe 0 Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Picked up two JLC movements (K840 pictured and K645, similar to the K840) on eBay as I happen to be amongst those that think they make the best/nicest movements out there. Just a shame I don't much like their styling these days. Thinking of sending to Mary to fit to Reversos as nice gifts. Now, would that make a true JLC? Me thinks the the purists will call it JLF, not to mention sacrilege. Hence me thinks it a perfect snub to the snobs Edited April 18, 2011 by jdoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scavolas 0 Posted April 18, 2011 Nice catch! Although as I remember, replica case sizes tend to be a tad different from the gen size (+/- 1-2 mm), and because most of the reps are h/w or quartz movements, case thickness could also be a problem.

jdoe 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Several of these on eBay now if anyone interested. Get them for under $100 which isn't half bad. Mary still not responded if she thinks it could be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scavolas 0 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Could you please give us some URLs? (I'm a lazy bastard and only found this) I am very fond of JLC Reverso models and since even the cheapest one is above 3,000 USD, chances are that I would never be able to pick up a gen from an AD...

jdoe 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Could you please give us some URLs? (I'm a lazy bastard and only found this) I think someone else wasn't quite as lazy and took them all. There were 3 K840s going for $65 each. No longer there. The one you link to apparently have quite a few, but the guy is selling one by one. Last went for $200+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
