Had a chance to see this one two weeks ago
In the flesh, was quite impressed by it, the fit, comfort and legibility was great, despite the 37mm... any owners here that can share their opinions on this model? Feels like a bargain at today's prices *pic from Monochrome watches (website) ...
Layout does look good
Not sure about that lone 6. And why not put a “20” to the left of “22” for some balance.
I know it's a JLC 'thing,'...
...but I'm not a fan of the year on the dial...it seems shoehorned in. I also don't like the cutouts for the hands. I know it is to show the times when changes should not be made. But any owner can be made aware of that... That being said, it's a steal in...
Also not a fan of the year
But it has a vibe that I really liked in person and was not expecting. For the price I think it is a great watch, was really tempted
Agree on the year, but
Would have liked it more without it.... the 6 is subtle in person,didn't mind it... it has a vintage vibe that was not expecting
It's a great perpetual calendar
I might be in the minority but I like the year on the dial for the Klaus IWCs and the JLCs. I understand that for some it might not be as aesthetically pleasing (although it is for me) and it can be a pain if one overshoots setting the date...but from a p...
a classical perpetual dial layout...
that I like. I have no particular dislike for the truncated year nor the cutouts. Guess I just did not notice them after a while on the wrist. The case size at 37mm is perfect for my smallish wrist and it is comparatively thin too. I also like the movemen...
Looks good
Only issue that I am aware of is some oil leak to the dial but this seems more visible on light/silver dials. I have also seen quite a few dials that show some wear from the hands - many need dial replacement after a while This is definitely a nice piece ...
and the moon "on top" of the dial makes more sense
the year setup is also cleaner. JLC made some positive changes indeed
I love this model rather the new one for a very simple (but huge) detail. Below the extract of the instruction booklet from JLC:
"Special nature of the four-digit year indicator: the year is indicated via four positions. The display of the year’s first two digits (the centu-ry) is fixed. It consists of a small two-position plate, screwed onto the movement, which can indicate “20” or ...
It is a very nice looking QP
My preference is for rose gold JLC QPs (I feel like the warmer tones bring out the romanticism in a QP) but the bargain here is of course in SS. I actually prefer the year indication. I don’t need to know whether a year is leap or not but I do actually ne...
