4.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful watch, July 16, 2010
This review is from: Jacques Lemans Men's 916O Classic Collection Automatic Watch (Watch)
I must say this watch is excellent! I have had it now for over 1 year. The timing has been as good as it gets for an automatic that's not COSC certified with the watch losing approximately 2 seconds/day! The Valjou 7750 movement is nice with the true moon phase and saphire exhibition case back. The rotor is decorated however, that could have been done a lot better! The "decoration" is the Jacques Lemans name, logo and "25 jewels swiss made." Very bland! If your going to decorate the rotor, DECORATE IT OR DON'T! The bracelet is very solid and comfortable with half links so it fits perfectly on my wrist. The rose gold plating is perfect with no blemishes what so ever. The watch has some weight to it but feels fine on my wrist. I constantly get compliments on this watch from friends and strangers.
I would have given this watch a 5 star rating except for the rotor decoration and one other problem. The hands are beautifully designed. However with a black face and no lume, the hands can be hard to see. I have to tilt the watch so light reflects off the hands to see the time. Don't get me wrong, I love looking at this watch! It's just that once in a while if I'm in a dark area, it would be nice to be able to just look at the face and see the time. If Jacques Lemans ever redesigns this watch, make the minute and hour hands either with lume or a little bit different in design so it's easier to read. (Since that is my only complaint on this watch, I highly recommend it to anyone!)
