Quality Control Issues?
Jan 08, 2021,14:03 PM
After waiting all year to see this model in person, I recently purchased a JLC Master Control Chronograph Calendar.
I really like the looks and features of the watch. It reminds me of vintage triple date calendar watches from the 50's.
Unfortunately, after testing the watch for a few minutes, I found that the chronograph was not working. The minute register
was not incrementing at all. It just twitched at one minute intervals.
I retuned the watch and the AD requested that another be sent out as soon as possible.
Well, the second watch came in and I picked it up, only to find that it too had a problem with the chronograph function!
Each time I stopped the chronograph, it caused the continuous seconds register to jump forward by several seconds.
The amount of jumping varied between 0 and 5 seconds and caused the watch to gain time.
Fortunately, the AD was very understanding and helpful and addressed the issue. In conversation, I also heard
that another instance of the same watch had been returned with issues.
This really makes me question JLC's claim of 1000 hour testing. It only took me a few minutes to find these issues.
I thought the group should hear about my experience, in case anyone is considering this model.
