Jacob & Co Epic X
Here are my two Epic X watches from Jacob and Co
Got Both of these at retail and I asked for a few things to be changed and added and wow Jacob & Co stepped up. Con to the watches 1- They come standard with TINTED back crystals. 🤦*♂️🤦*♂️🤦*♂️ The blue watch has tinted blue back and the orange one has tinted black. WTF. They replaced both crystals for free and then gave me 2 straps and one bracelet for FREE! 2- It took like a month to get the crystals replaced 🤦*♂️ 3- I wish they had an automatic version to the movement and a micro rotor would be amazing 4- at 32k-35k they are just a little on the high side not coming with multiple bracelets/strap options included 5- for the love of god please Jacob a quick change bracelet. The man creates works of art they defy gravity but still has an antiquated strap system Pros to the watches 1-The straps are insanely comfortable the rubber is so form fitting and relaxed and the holds allow for airflow so here in Florida it’s perfect 2-The skeleton movement is lovely and aggressive and a joy to explore and examine 3- I Daily them often and they are very durable and scratch resistant 4- the color ways of these watches are perfect and I got them as my first venture into a monochromatic collection that was BLAH! The colors really change up the energy and create more of a wearing experience for me personally. 5- customer service directly from Jacob was AMAZING 6- the willingness to make the changes and didn’t even ask for anything. They paid for shipping and the replacement crystals Would I buy from Jacob again. YES but I’m waiting for something new to come out or a hell of a deal on an astronomia 😂 Overall I love them and they are a home run addition to liven up my collection |

They actually go for really reasonable prices second hand. In the teens.

As I said in your Louis Moinet thread, there is something I like about the Epic X. I tend to prefer the models with a rubber strap. How is the build quality?
I’m a fan of the sky blue model. The red, white, black, and titanium look sharp as well. I call them my guilty pleasure watches because I’m not usually attracted to big, modern, flashy pieces. But there is something about the X I think looks great, although I’ve never seen one in person. |

The Epic X is sick, especially the one on the rubber strap!

I've had my eye on the Epic X on bracelet for a while now. Such an underrated piece. Congrats.
I am very fond of seeing diverse collections here on this forum, its a rare sight. I appreciate the enthusiast who buys what they like rather than the general brands that are pushed. Kudos my friend.
