Dear fellow watch enthusiasts

After many months of reading the very insightful reviews and commentaries, I purchased this timepiece recently and just received it through the mail yesterday.

Initial setup was a breeze though the crown for the time, the the single pusher for the full date and moon phase. Great.

I thought I would first share a few pictures including the traditional wristshot, and I will provide a review in a little while.

The color contrasts and reflections on the silver dial are beautiful...

Pictures taken with an Iphone unfortunately but its all I have at the moment

It is the new JLC Master ultrathin perpetual in steel.

Best regards and a great week end to everyone!!

Key Points from the Discussion

The JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual is praised for its perfect size, thin case, and superb dial, making it a highly desirable piece.
The watch is considered a versatile choice, sporty enough for casual wear, elegant for suits, and appropriately sized for various cuffs.
The single pusher for setting all perpetual calendar functions (day, date, month, year, moonphase) makes it relatively easy to adjust, even if the watch stops.
A debate arises regarding the necessity of watch winders for perpetual calendars, with some arguing against them to allow the movement rest and extend service intervals.
The steel version of the JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual is seen as an 'horological bargain' and a mature choice for connoisseurs.
A collector showcases a 'special edition' with the moon phase at 6 o'clock, humorously noting it's for the Southern Hemisphere, though it's clarified to be an older model.

No too many words can describe this one except that it's an excellent choice. Wear it in good health and I'm sure it will be one that will travel with you on many or life's journeys. Congratulations!

Hi, That's a knockout combo of perfect packaging and one of JLC's coolest complications. It's sporty enough to be casual, elegant enough for a suit, and small enough to wear with any cuffs. I wish you and your watch great times in perpetuity ;-) -Tim
