Forever tainted perception of JLC

Dear All,

Unfortunately I would have to say that JLC is not at all concerned about what we think about their decision not to change the dial. It was after all a very limited edition so they probably have considered the cost of getting it right against a few limited (less that 700) unhappy people and thought that they can live with losing a few customers if that what it came down to.

Sad but unfortunately true since the response that we have received from them to date is quite frankly an insult of the highest order. Apologies if I sound bitter but that’s a fact. I cannot accept that a company like JLC that can produce some of the most sophisticated time pieces in the world can’t get a simple thing like the lume correct. It like saying I can do vector based equations but I can’t add 1+1. I don’t buy that for one minute it is all about costs in the end.

I’ll always be happy that I am privileged to own what is still a great watch but it has definitely left a bitter perception about JLC the company.  The lady that was in charge of the project aught to be ashamed that she delivered a less than perfect piece. I know I would be…….talk about snatching mediocrity from greatness.

Best
