Jaeger-LeCoultre

1/ THE CASE AND CASE BACK: 

I don't really see any Pros to the exhibition case back personally. Would the watch be slightly thinner with a solid case back? Would the alarm sound slightly stronger with a solid caseback? If so, I would consider those significant Cons against the see-through case back.

2/ THE BRACELET: 

I agree with you about the polished outer links. I would prefer the bracelet to be completely brushed. And I think it's a real shame they didn't include quick size extensions, such as those found in my Squadra Hometime bracelet (which are extremely useful).

3/ THE CROWNS: 

I agree with you again! I would have loved to see all three crowns being screw-down.

4/ THE DIAL AND HANDS: 

It is very disappointing that the minute hand lume cannot be distinguished from the indices. What a beautiful dial though!

Thank you for such a thorough review, and lovely pictures as always! It's a beautiful watch, but has some flaws that stop me from purchasing it, especially given the steep price.
