36mm i really like the size. Was a bit doubtful of the strap glossy colour but in fact it is ok tho.

Have to say the client service at the boutique is pretty awesome. Helped me with all the papers and also allowed me to park on place Vendome in front of the boutique to ease the time piece pickup as I had to rush back home as my kid was unwell.

Key Points from the Discussion

The 36mm size of the Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase is highlighted as a perfect fit, challenging common perceptions about modern watch dimensions.
A key concern for some collectors regarding JLC watches is the readability, but the Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase is noted for sufficient contrast between hands and dial for clear time-telling.
The author confirms the watch is a Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase, specifying its 36mm size, blue strap, and silverish/white dial.
A question is raised regarding the moonphase accuracy of the Master Ultra Thin (MUT) line, specifically if it features the perpetual moonphase accuracy found in the latest Master Control Calendar models.
The exceptional client service at the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique, including assistance with parking on Place Vendôme, significantly enhanced the acquisition experience.

I agree, 36mm is a sweet spot! And you wear it very well!

Enjoy the trip on Eurotunnel (despite Covid, I've done it so many times these last 18 months!!). Best, E.
