Congratulations, you have a true classic beauty there!
I'm surprised at how different it looks with a leather strap, that's something that I might explore because in the winter when my wrists are cold, the metal strap is a little loose. I'm also interested in how quick/easy it is to change straps - is it something you'd do from day to day, or do you need to decide which to keep on it?

Hi Saligator and tortoiseperson, it was a miscommunication between the SA and me as I thought the changing of bracelet to leather strap is very easy. What she meant is changing from one leather to another leather strap takes less than a minute BUT NOT bracelet to leather. When my hubby brought back the watches to me, I was upset as he told me I need to go to the boutique to practice the changing of bracelet to leather.
To my surprise, the changing part is not as difficult as I thought. I would say it is doable. You will need tools to do this. Now I change the bracelet to leather as and when I feel like it depending on my outfit and my mood. But since I have 2 other bracelet watches, I am currently using the leather strap.

Wow congrats hooooiling! That's a fantastic choice and your DH have done a great job! 
I'm sure you'll get lots of compliments for it, especially it having 2 different faces. The good thing is that you'll surprise a lot of people as not every one know about the JLC.

She's already chosen peeps! lol
Wow wow wow, I am surprised to see so many replies after I left this thread 2 months ago. Sorry for keeping silent for awhile
It was indeed very difficult for me to choose. So? which one? JLC won my heart moreI got the same model as Saligator's.
Before that, I've narrowed down my choice to JLC and Rolex. While I like Cartier Baloon Bleu but imo it is not as classic as the former 2 watches. I didn't give myself a chance to try on Rolex because at the point of time, I was too excited to buy a new watch. I didn't want to wait till another month to go to the city to try on the Rolex. While I haven't really given my hubby a "go" answer on the JLC, he surprised me by bringing it back home for me
Like Saligator, totoiseperson and hellokatiegirl, I agree with what you said and I am absolutely lovin my JLC. I bought a white alligator leather strap to interchange with the S/S bracelet.
Check out the pics of my JLC.
BUT, that's not all..... 2 months later... (to be continued)..
