My little review after a few days wear
Sep 13, 2019,12:29 PM
Looks wise - still stunning. I love this dial.
Accuracy wise - as expected the 899A/1 is cheap and mine has been gaining +10 daily
Comfort wise - A solid 8/10. I would have preferred a sports clasp or pin buckle over the dressy deployant clasp
Rotor noise - I personally like it a lot but given other brands I can't tell if its refined or not. Most brands at this level are silent
Going back to the movement. +10 a day is complete trash but I was expecting this. I know I can send it in for service (I will not) but my opinion is that the 1000 hour control is PURE BS! All Richmond brands have taken a hit on quality in my opinion. Its the same reason IWC in house has a 2 year warranty and absolutly no claims as to accuracy. They know!
Watch so far is a solid 7/10 mainly for the looks. Its also in my opinion not worth even remotely close to $8250 ask! JLC can and should do better.
Also this goes back to my main point. Because I enjoy this watch I am easily overlooking the flaws.
