Week 5 Notes: Timekeeping is still spot on. Gaining a little, but that is expected. I did have one incident where I stopped the chronograph as the minutes digit counter was changing minutes. The minutes digit counter seemed stuck in transition and I was unsure whether to try to reset or to let the seconds hand keep running and wait to see if the minutes digit counter would fix it self. So, I let the second hands run and at around 15 seconds the minute digit hand fixed it self and moved to the next minute!!! Wheww, thought I might have a big issue there. Either way the watch is fine and it is on warranty at JLC until 2026.

Tracking some time at the office. Good stuff.




Quick pick as I leave the train, sorry, horrible pic.



Slow exercise on the elliptical, nothing extreme!! 





A little extreme driving with a BMW V10!!!



Extreme kitty love!!





Some less extreme eating...



Finished off with a brisk (but some may say extreme!!!) walk in the park. 





Have a great Easter!!!

Very cool and avant-garde JLC. Looks like a beast - how does it wear? Comfort wise?

Top heavy! LOL but that's because of all that gold, but otherwise you get used to it, wears quite well for a big watch!

Thank you. Sometimes the weight is nice to feel. I’ve read ergonomically is sirs better than the proportions would suggest.
