So I was going to post pictures of this exceptional timepiece

And noticed something was off. Can you find it? Should be very obvious. Let’s see what JLC service have to say ...

I also own one and love it but sad that they have discontinued it. 😭

Mysterious

JLC made mysterious watches. A serie of more and still every single watch is like a peace unique. The alignment is off course of the second rotary date wheel. Could be the teeth do not grip nicely. I think the watch makers of JLC can adjust the wheel, so ... 

Actually

The logo is not apparent due to lighting. The issue I discovered and has me heart broken is that the minutes counter at 12 seems to be malfunctioning and in an odd way, the numerals on the right now are at a different plane and turn half way one moment, f...

What a disaster. You are not alone, we shall give you mental assistance. I’ve got a dink in my Longines Conquest. My heart broken too. I still can go on. The thoughts handy watch makers can help us to make the watch as new is a comfortable feeling. ...  

It happens but should be just an easy fix at service....

I know the previous owner of my EL2 had sent it into service for the digital minutes going out of alignment. I haven't had issues with it in the years I've had it but I imagine someday it'll go awry and it'll be time for another service. FWIW, after retur...  

That’s a shame

I have been pretty enamored with this watch, but I have to say JLC’s reliability issues are becoming a concern

I don't think if the EL2 as unreliable so much as a watch that probably does need that 3-5 year service interval

 
 By: Fastwong : July 11th, 2021-03:50
Generally it seems like a tough watch but a lot of parts and complications that probably need regular servicing. I'm not fan of JLC service but at least they will always be there to repair it and do it for less than what AP charges for service on a time o... 

True

Service cost is reasonable with JLC, my issue with the brand is that they are too innovative, constantly developing mechanisms which doesn’t allow them to perfect the majority of their movements. If you look at brands such as Patek, Rolex, Omega, or even ... 

Funny, when I look at the current collection it feels distinctly stale, I would like to see a little more innovation :)

 
 By: Fastwong : July 14th, 2021-17:12
Polaris, Master, all the movements in the catalog under $100k are pretty old now short of the recently released semi-jump hour Reverso, but yeah I agree, JLC today does feel lost (to me anyway) but the JLC watches of yesterday are still very exciting. As ... 

I hope it gets fixed quickly

I love that watch - and apparently we have the same taste in car brands as well. Got mine 2nd hand some weeks ago. ...  

Thanks

Loving your red version! Yup Benz for the win! Best car brand in my view, is that a G?

Nope, it’s C220d Estate. Brilliant engine and car.

And it’s the watch that I got 2nd hand, not the car (just to be clear) 😀

Great car

Always had a soft spot for Estates, and Benz makes the best ones at the moment👍 Enjoy your excellent vehicle and watch

My Jaeger?

If so no this is the first time

Hope it gets rectified soon

If this is functioning properly, do the chrono minutes jump or turn slowly when the second hand passes 12?
