My take of the ELII?
Well, it’s a fantastic watch!
Really extreme!
Very comfortable on the wrist, good looking, innovative…
You name it, it has it all!
But, …
There is a but for me.
It’s out of my price range if I consider what I would have to give up and the amount of wrist time such an extreme watch would get.
As you might have noticed, I like plain, clean, simple dials.
This one is too busy for me to become a daily beater.
No disrespect intended for Mohannad’s choice.
If I had the possibility I would gladly have this one to change with in my watch box.

now its official, i just placed an order for the EXTREME LAB II
it should start delivery by next APRIL. yesterday i visited the new JLC boutique in RIYADH ( i posted some pics some time ago of some of the pieces they had) well yesterday was the official openning and i sat with some of JLC people that came directly fro...
Excellent news, Mo.
I hope to be able to see it on your wrist at the end of May 2011, in L.V. What made you make the plunge, on this EL. II? Tell us all, please. As for the watches you saw in a safe, these are the " Hybris Mechanica ": Duometre à Grande Sonnerie, Gyro I skel...
i think many factors drove me to that decision my friend
it all started actually with the EXTREMELAB 1 i was really fascinated by it but way out of my reach but still felt in love with its concept (correct me if im wrong but i think its the first without lubrication) but i did appreciate the whole LAB principal...
So we'll have the pleasure to meet, once again.
I willl be stuck in Paris at this moment. Well, I will show you some exciting pieces from JLC, but I know what you mean with the E.L I and II. See you soon, then! Best, Nicolas
Congrats, Mohannad!
Happy for you! But a long wait ahead… Here is a pic for you to enjoy while you wait. Best Blomman...
thanks for the pics, yours even show the watch better than the press photoes
and reassures my decision
You like, Mohannad?
May I offer you some more…? When I visited the Manufacture earlier this year I had the chance to play with this one for a while… Best Blomman...

Yes, yes, it is the caseback of a round watch: Congrats for your decision ! Hope the wait will not be too long for you ! Fr.Xavier...
the case back is just sublime
thanks FX for the nice pics specially the back side which honestly i didn't see before
Congratulations
This is one very special piece and one which I hope JLC use as a base for other variations - there are so many things to love about this watch
Congratulations
It is a very nice chronograph; love the unusual jumping minutes, the power reserve indicator and the modern engineered look of the movement. I was in the JLC boutique recently and was surprised that the Ti costs more than the RG, even though it now doesn'...
Congratulations...
... it is a marvelous watch, even though I have recently decided to cancel my order. Am sure that you are going to enjoy it big time!
would you expalin why you decided to cancel was it something you didnt like in the watch
or was it due to another more intriuging piece that caught your eye
The reason was...
...... that the manufacture had decided to drop the antimagnetic silicon escapement feature of the watch and I decided to save the funds for another purchase. Nicolas and I had a lengthy conversation about this, and it prides me in actually having this kn...
Aren't the Extreme Labs shipping this month?
Spoke to a local AD and was told the EL2 will be shipping this month..how come you have to wait till April?

i wanted to wait for it part of the excitement i guess
Yeah, probably true...
They won't be pushing all the 300 pieces at one go...so has anyone received their placement yet?
