JLC Master Ultra Thin 38mm - still one of the best dress watches ever! (IMHO)
Took this JLC Master Ultra Thin 38mm out of the safe today.
In my mind, still one of the best-designed, most-wearable and gorgeously thin dress watches ever made (not just by JLC but across most "reasonably affordable" classic Swiss brands).
Discontinued now (just like the 34mm model which came before it but was too small for my liking anyway).
Gorgeous in-house Cal 849 movement as well.
For me, this is one of those real "watch enthusiasts' watches. A true classic.
Any other fans out there?

One of my best friends owns the 34mm version (he has a small wrist) with a solid case back and he's more than happy with it.
I think we can consider it as the Jaeger LeCoultre "Calatrava". Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro.
A good friend of mine has the 34mm and I keep throwing longing looks at it. It is just a bit too small for me, but it is a gorgeous!
Great pics, Bill.
I've Lusted after a black dial version for a while now (never seen it In Metal). Pls tell me: does that black wear a bit smaller than the silver 34mm? I always think black dials look smaller on the wrist.
Thanks, amanico
I've actually never tried the newer 39mm. Should do it to see how it compared to the 38mm
Stunning indeed! I wear my 34 daily and It brings me huge satisfaction!
Enjoy yours! Best, É. ...
