Hands-On: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Chronograph, And More Thoughts On "In-House"
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Chronograph is a pretty unique offering nowadays – an under $10K chronograph with a great look, an in-house movement, and a very versatile design. It’s not a new watch – the Master Chronograph was first introduced five years ago, in 2010, and the movement – the Jaeger-LeCoultre self-winding chronograph caliber 751 – was introduced all the way back in 2005. At the time, it was introduced as the very first automatic chronograph ever produced by Jaeger LeCoultre, and while no one was exactly surprised to see one from JLC it was still greeted with a lot of fanfare, and rightly so – a new automatic chronograph movement from any manufacturer is always a big event, simply because self-winding chronographs are actually hard to design – as a witness to that just consider the fact that of all the complications, the very last to appear was the automatic chronograph, and that it showed up in 1969 which was the same year the firs

GMT 16710: Vanessa's work, in progress, big pics
Hi Folks,I bought this beautiful GMT Master II Pepsi (F series, ~2004, no holes, SEL), and while it arrived looking fantastic albeit with an aftermarket bezel insert, it was not running well at all. But the watch, bracelet, movement, etc. are all genuine, so I sent it to Vanessa to do a thorough service and repair, inside and out.Turns out it needs quite a lot of work, as it had been tended to by a hack previously, who did more harm than good.
