“Grail” is overused, but.....
Mar 11, 2020,18:45 PM
I’ve been collecting for a little over ten years. About three years ago, I discovered the Jaeger Extreme Lab 2, and fell hard. I’d had the T.I. version slip through my hands several times, finally, I said what the hell and rolled up a trade into a rose gold variant, and couldn’t be happier.

The Extreme Lab 2 is easily one of the coolest watches out there. Love the technical look and interesting complications/features. So easy to get lost in that skeletonized dial!
Congrats on a successful hunt!

The waiting and searching is part of the fun! You scored a really special watch, the amount of time JLC spent in design and development of this must have been off the charts. I don't think I've come across any watch at any price that has been as thoughtfu...
The buckle AND the rubber strap.

The buckle is cool, but the rubber strap has it's charms as well. The rubber strap is actually vented. And the strap minder loops interlock with the strap to stay in place.
Great addition to your collection, congrats...

There are a few of us here with an EL2. I was also contemplating on adding a RG EL2 to my Ti version but have not done so as of yet. It was between a RG model or another Ti version but in red as I have the blue version 🤷♂️
Ahhh, the blue one.

I had my heart set on the blue one from day one. As time passed, I lost out on the blue one twice. Then, I came around to getting into the RG and brown ceramic one. And I lost out on that one. The one weekend I was free to stop and see in person, I was dr...
One of my favorite watches, regardless of price or brand...

I wear mine more than pretty much anything else in the box. As has been said of this watch by many, were there another brand name on the dial, this watch would easily and justifiably command a 5x premium. Currently, and especially at secondhand prices, I ...
Thank you, sir.

I know you’ve had a few of these, and seeing yours certainly made the move easier for me.
Nice comment.

How long do you think your MC2 leather strap will last? Seems pretty robust.

Hard to tell since I bought the watch pre-owned

and the OEM strap was in okay shop, not great, the keepers in particular were real rough so I had a new strap on it asap. New out of the wrapper the original strap is one of the nicest I've ever seen and it comes with all the hardware vs more typically wh...
Ohhh the strap...

I’m desperately trying to get a custom strap made. The ratcheting legs are executed very well, and don’t make a custom strap impossible, just a little challenging. Worst case, one could cannibalize an OEM strap.
