I try to make it to Govberg as often I can, but since it's not always possible, I figured I'd take some wrist shots this time to show some stuff I saw there.

These next 2 were amazing. The second one still has the plastic on the crystal.

A preowned Panerai I thought I'd try out

And I figured since I'm in Philly, I might as well try these on as well.

I left there thinking should I sell my Cartier and IWC for the AP15300 or the Deepsea. I'm leaning towards the deal for the AP, but I still need to crunch some numbers to see what's possible. I am be heading to their new location that just opened 2 weeks ago tomorrow so I may post wrist shots from there as well. I sent some time checking out the Pateks as well but couldn't get wrist shots since all remain sealed until sold.

Can't really advise on the AP as they aren't my thing, but those JLCs look very nice.

The fit of the 15300 was amazing but I like the size of the Deepsea. I prefer the black dial in the 15300 but I don't know how long those will be available since they won't make the 39mm size anymore.

The JLC tributes were amazing. I wasn't a huge fan of the strap at first, but it was really comfortable. I didn't think I'd see both in person so it was a pleasant surprise.

The RO Chrono is awesome. And those two Jaegers look really, really good--especially the top one.

Yea the European version is a lot nicer than the US version. I wasn't a fan of these a first now I kinda like them but the new Chrono version looks awesome!!!

The blue 15300 looks awesome, they do make the nicest shade of blue of any watch dial.

I agree...JLC Deep Sea is starting to grow on me too...especially the chrono version.

It took me a long time to come around to the style of AP, but I really like the 15300 now. Between the DSSD and the 15300...I would pick the AP.

If i ever get back there, im definetly going to hit up Govberg's. I have gotten my last 4 out 5 watches from george and would like to meet him in person as well as check out all the awesome watches. I realy like the rolex and the JLC'S, never been a fan of the AP'S RO. Thanks for the pics, and good luck with your deal.

It is the Monty LE model. I believe they have both this dial and the baton dials in stock. The ROC Chrono was a very nice watch. That's probably my favorite dial combo of all their chrono models.

Initially I wasn't impressed with the JLCs when I saw them come out, but after trying them they just felt perfect. The size is great and I love the retro look. I didn't even know they had them since I thought they were sold out and then to see both the US and European version was quite the surprise.
