I got this JLC Ultra slim small seconds this morning, I have forgotten how nice the "new watch experience" is. I have wanted a dress watch for a long time and always seem to come back to this one. I haven't had the best of times over Christmas with operations and the like, this is a breath of fresh air. I'm dead chuffed with this one.

Please excuse the awful phone pics, I will try and get some better ones later today or tomorrow.

It's a stunning watch! It's nice to be able to switch it up and wear something that thin every once and a while. Enjoy!

Hey Dave sadden to hear of your health issues and trust that your on the mend,

you have a tidy looking dress watch there, can you help out with a few more details, to me it has a 50's 60's style to it, so its date would be interesting to know along with they type of movement,

Very please for you, all the best "H"

Brew · 17 January 2019, 08:26 PM

Thank you very much H, it does look 60s to me as well, it is slightly larger than that era though at 38.5mm, I have a 6.5 inch wrist so it is my sort of sweet spot, I was looking for something very simple looking as a sort of "for best" watch if you will.

Another good thing was that I was able to get out with friends for dinner last night, the watch was very comfortable and never got any comments, which was pleasing, it meant that it did what I wanted, but, I felt really good wearing it (I hope that last bit makes sense).

The movement is the JLC 896/1 (I will get some pics up soon) this is from their site; "Automatic, self-winding, Components : 223, Vibrations per hour : 28800, Jewels : 32, Barrel : 1, Height : 3.98 mm."

This is the JLC website for the watch.

Thank you very much once again for your kind comments H.
