What a "test" watch!
It must be amazing to have time with all these great watches! It would be interesting to see your list of watches you most wanted to keep 
The blue definitely has its own character, I couldn't believe it when I ran across a new one at an AD over the summer. I'm sure in 2010 it seemed crazy expensive but in 2019 new in the case it felt like a bargain. It was gone when I stopped by a week later, someone got a great watch.
Daily Wear Extreme Lab II
After a little over a year with the Extreme Lab 2 it has quickly become my daily driver! The combination of titanium, ceramic, and rubber on a massive strap with extendable buckle makes for a amazingly durable and wearable package for the daily grind. Wor...
Do I sense love here???
Congratulations, and I’m glad you found the watch that speaks to you the most. Hope it’s a keeper forever!
Thanks! Definitely a (surprise) keeper!
From the pics online I always respected the Extreme Lab 2 but didn't really love the aesthetics. There's a little bit of one eyed pirate going on with that hour and running seconds wheel and the movement can photograph a little flat. By chance I came acro...
Fastwong, I agree with all you wrote. Great owner's review.
I had the pleasure to have it for a summer some 3 years ago, and it was a pain to give it back to Jaeger Lecoultre. Its wearability? Due to its short lugs and their shape, the watch hugs the wrist, yes. And yes, it wears smaller than its size on the paper...

superb owner’s review and perspective. you reminded me on why i love this watch in the first place
Let me give my Lab II more wrist time in 2020. Here are some photos took awhile back. warmest regards ...
Yes! Do it and report back!
My mission for 2020 is to figure out how to get a couple custom straps made with the correct hardware....
It is an awesome watch. Really showcases JLC’s engineering excellence and range.
It makes me think: Richard Mille who? RIchard Mille why?
I forgot to ask!
Does it have a seconds indicator? If it does, it hacks? Just curious... Thank you! Zsolt.
Yes and yes! Glad you asked...
If you look closely at large 24 hour chrono register at 9 under the skeletonized hour hand is an inner blasted matte gray center wheel with a thin white line which is the running seconds. The running seconds wheel is centered perfectly within the outer ho...
Thank you for the detailed description.
Now I love this watch even more, since having a “small seconds” indicator and a hacking function is very important to me... Continue enjoying this marvel of engineering and thank you for the detailed review! And lastly have a very Happy New Year!!!🎆 Best,...
Totally Agree - what a great watch
I got the RG version back in 2013 and still have it in my rotation- you get such a lot of watch for your money, great wearability and durability in daily use and limited production too. Would be great to get some other colour rubber straps for it though.
Yeah, needs more strap options!
Nice! I haven't seen the RG version irl yet but I imagine it must have a totally unique character to the titanium only models. I'm going to stop by the boutique this week to drop off a watch for service, will see what the deal is regarding strap hardware....
I asked the boutique today...
... about custom straps and they said of course until I pulled out the Extreme Lab They said they will inquire and get back to me. They are doing a custom strap for the Duometre and it's ~12 week lead time.
I did! What don't you like about he oem strap?
My Duometre came with a sketchy 22mm strap shaved a mm to fit so I haven't had a chance to try to original strap in good shape. The boutique had a solid selection of custom leather options (I went with a midnight blue) but customization is relatively limi...
Wow!! the extreme lab... My holy grail!
Hopefully, we could see a small and affordable version in the near future. crossing fingers. best, Fernando
