If i may join the discussion when i fist saw the ELAB 2 i couldnt help but think: " Here is my next watch!"
I do agree that the words on the bezel seem out of place but IMO that is caused by the croc strap that is very very nice with the paddings but too classical. This extreme watch needs something more sportive like the srap with velcro on the new EWC or a calf leather strap with the paddings of the croc strap and with white stitching or perhaps red. With a more suitable srap i am sure the watch would look just perfect because if the bezel does not have the letters it would seem too plain and austere a bit like what happens with iwc ingenieur ceramic imo. If anyone here has the photoshop skills it would be great to see how it would work!
Does anyone have any info about the pricing? I am hoping it will be in the level of the ewc! If the pricing is right like JLC normally does i think this will be a winner!

Hi all, It seems most people DISLIKE the writing on the LAB 2 bezel and I was wondering if we could convince JLC to leave it out... really really hoping so as it would look so much nicer without the silly wording! Please read this JLC. Otherwise I just lo...

... the way it is. We cannot make a referendum on design decisions every time we dislike something in a watch. I want the hands of the hours of the AMVOX to be slightly fixed at the edge, as it shape reminds me of a spermatozoide. Its not even a millimetr...

First; In the flesh the writing in not intrusive at all. When I first saw the pictures I was also a bit concerned yet once I saw it you really have to want to see it in order to see it. The picture you are seeing has been Photoshoped so as to see what the...

do not like the writing on the bezel..... But somehow, as stated, I find it hard to believe that JLC would change it considering the discussion on Navy Seals.... On the other hand, prototypes do change and JLC should listen to the watch community.... Chee...
Thanks for your guys response

It is great to hear everyones thoughts and views and I agree with what ya'll saying.... I would not mind text on the bezel had it read 'Jaeger Le Coultre' like on the dial on the LAB but words like 'Extreme' are a little to blatant or overt if you like IM...
