I actually just switched watches yesterday

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 4th, 2015-14:13

so I won't be able to post a new wrist shot for you today sad

I was wearing my Extreme Lab 2 for almost 4 months straight, so need to give another watch some attention now smile

Cheers,
Anthony

For 4 months? Damn, it didn't happen to you that often to wear the same

 
 By: amanico : March 4th, 2015-14:15

Watch for such a long time, did it?

So, what is your owner's feeling, after such a long time?

Best,

Nicolas

Yeah it's not often I wear a watch for that long

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 4th, 2015-14:18

My owner's feeling is pure and utterly happiness!

This one ranks up there for me in terms of my all-time favorite watches I've owned, and I think it's going to surpass the AP Montoya Offshore rose gold on my list.  I have no regrets at all with my Extremely Lab 2.

Cheers,
Anthony

That is some strong feeling, Anthony. Great to know, and happy to read it. [nt]

Works much better in blue!

Why would somebody buy a RM when you can buy the Extreme Lab2 which is much better looking and with such a price difference.
This watch show what JLC can do:fine watchmaking,breathtaking innovation and great value.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the future with such technical and innovate products in JLC with it's new leadership.

Blue or Red, this is a matter of taste. I can't really say which one I prefer.

 
 By: amanico : March 4th, 2015-07:42

But Blue and Red are my favourite colors, as per a coincidence...  wink

I keep my fingers corssed to see more Extrem Lab stuff coming in the future. This is a very interesting line.

Even if I deplore that some of the Lab Solutions didn't see an application, finally, on this piece, such as the silicon escapement.

Best,

Nicolas

I found the previous version highly tempting.

 
 By: MichaelC : March 4th, 2015-08:40
But I do think it looks better in blue than red.  As you say, personal taste.  I just find the blue more unique and befitting this model.

My first thought was the striped bezel is also more congruent with the overall design, but reading your reaction to the smooth one is good enough for me.

How many pieces will be made in this version?

From what I understood, not a limited edition, but...

 
 By: amanico : March 4th, 2015-08:47

I think it will be limited in production.

The smooth bezel is a detail which immediately jumped into my eyes, when I saw the proto.

I much prefer it like this, but as said, it is a matter of personal tastes.

Thanks for your input, Michael.

Best,

Nicolas


300 pieces only.

The Red, but the " new Blue "? I didn't have this information. [nt]

And the blue 300 pieces only.

 
 By: proestak : March 4th, 2015-09:45

I am a bit surprised that JLC didn't tell me that. Thanks for the information. [nt]

Awesome piece

 
 By: vitalsigns : March 4th, 2015-10:32

Awesome piece with a cool set of complications. Very technical, embodying JLC's real engineering prowess. Probably has a ton of wrist presence, yet it doesn't strike me as ostentatious or too loud.

Maybe less distinctive than Richard Mille, but a great value relative to RM. Certainly would buy this 100 times over an Hublot.

Still divided over the flat bezel vs. the ridged bezel. I probably prefer the flat bezel for its cleaner look.

I like both versions--red and blue. Blue is less eye-catching (my preference), but just as interesting nonetheless.

JLC is doing so many great things these days...

Thank you for the write-up,

Cheers,

John 

I could not compare it to a Hublot. ;) And it is, technically, for the price, much more

 
 By: amanico : March 4th, 2015-12:03

Interesting than a RM 10, in my opinion.

Try it, you will see that it sits quite easily on the wrist, despite its size.

Best, and thanks for your feedback, John.

Tecno appeal.. But with great design.. & futuristic coolness !

 
 By: hs111 : March 4th, 2015-10:32

.. Was specially intrigued by the case, with two characters on front & back..

As to the color accents: blue underlining the cold appeal, whereas red
has more signalling ability, and a tad better legibility, I guess.

Thx for this excursion into a future, which in fact has begun years ago..

Best, hs

A future which has begun years ago... Very well put, my friend. Thanks for looking. [nt]

Ahh I never noticed the smooth bezel in this blue variant

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 4th, 2015-14:14

For me, I actually like the non-smooth bezel because it's a better match with the overall design of the watch IMO.

Cheers,
Anthony
