New Arrival: JLC Master Control Bracelet

[PhilLynott]

Ordered this in mid December direct from JLC they said it was in stock and should have it the following Tuesday. Well yada yada yada finally received it today almost 8 months later had just about forgotten I even ordered it so nice surprise from FedEx!







After battling the stupid pins to size it and cursing about how insane it is to have a bracelet with pins for such a high end brand I was at least thrilled with their tool free end links that is a great system I'm happy is becoming more and more common these days.

Then came my next annoyance about not getting a perfect fit and after originally cursing the lack of on the fly micro adjust I found out there actually was an on the fly adjust just took a little messing around with it to find how it works. So happy that exists that really makes or breaks a bracelet for me. I vaguely remembered 8 months ago asking JLC if it had that feature and that's what kept me at it and thank god it literally clicked eventually. Each side of the clasp has 2.5mm adjusts.

So yeah it's a fantastic bracelet well worth the wait would be perfect if sizing was with a screwdriver or even better like GO bracelets with the push button screws. Aside from that think they nailed it.

Congrats - looks fantastic. Really like the Master Control line-up. Had been looking at the simple date version, but that particular watch doesn't appear to be compatible with any bracelet (?), which is holding me back.

Weird I’d assume it would work for any in that line since I think they call it the Master Control bracelet. May be worth calling JLC they’re amazing customer service you actually talk to people when you call.

Been wearing this all week and it’s aesthetically the best bracelet I’ve worn to date. GO still tops it with their sizing and on the go micro adjust (this one is also great but you have to take off ur wrist not a big deal just not as good as GO) but the look of this one is pretty much perfection in my opinion. There’s also something very satisfying about opening and closing the clasp.

Unrelated to that this watch is insanely accurate.

Real nice. Congratulations.

Just a follow-up in case anyone else is interested - I did ask JLC if the same bracelet can fit to the MC Date, and they answer is Yes.

However, it cannot be ordered on the bracelet, which must be ordered separately for $1,850. Next time near an AD or boutique, I'll definitely be trying the watch but JLC didn't think they will have a bracelet onsite but will need to be ordered.

Okay that makes sense thanks for the update.

$1,850 was what I paid as well and forgot to mention in the original post after it kept getting delayed JLC sent me a free leather strap which was a nice gesture.
