While on the hunt for a batman, fell in love with this
Hello all,
I have wanted a batman for a long time, partly because i need the GMT functionality. And I am currently on the list for one with my AD. On a parallel note, I have always respected JLC as a brand, and highly admired their movements and finishing. I also always knew that I’ll end up getting one some day. Recently I came across the sector dial collection and instantly fell in love with the master geographic. The functionality, sector dial, sub-dial, different shades of blue and the simplicity of use / read, all instantly clicked. My absolute favorite part is the glass back revealing the gorgeous movement. A few months later, and it has made its way to my collection. Although I am still planning to get a batman, I have to say the JLC is more sophisticated and offers really good value considering the level of finishing and travel time functionality. Custom made strap in place with Spanish stitching by @combatstraps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! Love JLC and enjoyed over an hour at their Vegas store. Heard their minute repeater! Great timepieces... and the Vegas staff was friendly and knowledgable.
Enjoy!

Love the JLC sector dial collection, they really hit it out of the park with those. It feels like JLC didn't market them well since it was a short production run but it would have been awesome if they made those a part of the regular line as an option to the polaris line which I still haven't warmed up to yet.

Congrats! Love the JLC limited run of sector dials. IMHO - the best looking round watches they’ve made in years. I would have picked up the chronograph version if it had a seconds subdial.

Quick question: I noticed the rotor is super loud whenever I move my hand. Do you guys know if JLC I known for that / or if your watches do the same? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JLC's don't get enough love. Very good looking and heard from a watchmaker friend of mine that they are very well put together

I bought the watch from my AD who's reputable, whom I trust and have done business with before. I am yet to contact my AD, but my question is: what should be my expectation? Repair vs complete swap since the watch is only a couple of weeks old? Your input is appreciated. Thank you.

I would ask for a complete replacement. The servicing might take a pretty good amount and there are some not so good stories of members with jlc service centers in the US unfortunately.
Doesn't hurt to ask. I hope for the best for you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
