between33-34mm. They are small watches compared to today standards but they are before all dress watches, so that is fine by me
From the 50s and they look so fresh! A bit intimidated about service costs for vintage jlc, is that true?
I am not a JLC expert - but the one on the right has the same styling as my Master Control Date! Is this their signature or "heritage" style?
More a heritage styling. As far as I know the first generation of master control came on the market in 1993/1994 with cal 889, some of its vintage precedecessors among the jlc mariners and club models had this styling.
I paid 350€ for the handwound watch service and 500€ for the selfwinding watch service, if you go through the jlc route multiply the prices by 2 or 3
Thats reasonable. I did own a futurematic, but that was too much of a cost for me. Couldnt get my ordinary watchmaker to service it and sold it with a loss, ce la vie!
But if you were looking for a two watch collection those two would do for every situation you would conceivably find yourself in.
I think you need to change your watchmaker. 350 euros for a hand watch revision is pretty excessive. I don't find that servicing jlc's is any more expensive.
