Thank you!
Nicolas, thank you!
I understand that it takes servicing every 5 years or so. But as you agree, 22 weeks is too much for servicing. Makes me less appreciative of the brand, quite honestly.
Bisides, I am glad that we share the same "taste" and likewise this is the watch that made me pay attention to JLC. Very cool looking with this black face and right size, yet it has everything I want - time, date, second time, and power reserve although, like I mentioned previously, it felt very light and like a "toy" with a bit cheap winding sound when you shake it. I was really excited about this watch and almost made it to be my second work-place watch.
Hope this will be back sooner, much sooner than 22 weeks. What happens if something happens to the owner during that time, I wonder.
Have a nice Sunday,
Ken

Hello all! This is my first post on JLC forum. A while ago, I inquired about "world time" or "dual time" watch and got interested in JLC Master Geographic (38mm, ca 2001) - I have a small wrist and "modern" big case Master Geo is not within my scope.... A...

It depends on where you're located...Here, in France, for a Vintage piece, it can take from 6 to 12 months, but your watch is not a Vintage... For a modern watch as yours, it takes normally something like 6 to 12 weeks for JLC to service a watch... Things...
Thank you!

You're a bit pessimistic! If something happens to the owners while the watch is servicing, the watch is sent to me! LOLOLOOLOLOOL There is another possibility...Sometimes, JLC says that it will last 22 weeks, to be prudent...It may be shorter than that......
Hey, hey, I am not

pessimistic ! But I might move, get transferred to another country, etc., etc... I hope they just put the number on the conservative side and will get back to me much sooner. Thanks for asking JLC France. Give them my best regards and hope you find someth...
US+UK Service time
By: leo.sweeney : April 18th, 2008-13:50
Hi KIH, The JLC workshops in the US are undergoing a relocation at the moment and this may be the reason for the long turnaround time you were quoted. Here in the UK we aim to service all modern JLC's such as yours in 8 weeks. This turnaround time is set ...
