    Post some pictures and make it easier. I have the 60th but am no expert on JLC.

    I prefer the 60th SM300. I don’t care for the skeleton hands on the JLC or the fact it has no lume. For me that really limits the use. I also think the Omega movement is more interesting. I think if I was going to have one of the JLCs I’d be most interested in the dual time.

    I also own the 60th and wear it all the time. It is going to be a bit thicker than the JLC but I think it wears well.

    Don't own either but I have seen both live. I apologize for the rather poor photo below ref. the JLC MC control date sector dial, photo taken during a quick visit to the JLC boutique in Vancouver.

    I prefer the black dial version of this watch and I think it would be more versatile than the Seamaster 60th LE or the JLC sector dial version.
