03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely report the Locke & King The James is a comfortable automatic watch with a beautiful matte black finish, DLC coating, and coin-edge bezel. Some find the date window cramped and off-center, with one owner questioning its $400 value due to quality concerns. On balance, owners appreciate the comfortable wear and decent specifications of the Locke & King The James, despite some reservations about the date window's execution.
