did not choose to change the double anchors in the caseback sapphire glass to one single 'button' anchor...Based on my prior observations, nearly everyone of these models with a sapphire caseback returns with the single 'button' anchor instead of the original double pin design. It also appears from your pictures that they also applied something to the anchor mechanism (it looks 'wet'), which is new to me. I agree that 6 months is more than a tad too long. Undoubtedly a beautiful watch--enjoy!

Do you have any shots of the revised crystal? Would be good to see difference - do you know the reasoning for it? Mine might not have got revised crystal as it didn't go back to JLC for its service. Cheers JML

Here you go...

[Image Source and note: the images are not mine; I took them from the web for this referential purpose after a search!] I have a theory. The original sapphire requires drilling two precise holes, and my guess is that this is not only expensive, but over t...  

Thanks for that.

Hi Not seen that before & couldn't think how it would look. So one big button makes sense. Cheers JML

Niiiiiice!

What is the purpose of the "button" on the back of the watch?

It holds the gong for the alarm in place.
