thoughts and comments master series
I am having a tough time deciding between a few watches and would love your suggestions...
i originally wanted the master eight days but then realized its too similar to my iwc 7 day automatic.
then i thought i wanted the master calendar and while i love this watch, i decided that i wanted a thinner watch to wear under my dress shirts.
that has led me to either the master control or the smaller reserve de march (as i think the dualtime while i like the design and look of the watch has a feature on it that i just wont use at all)...
any thoughts on the benefits or negatives of either of those watches? thank you very much!

The Master Eight Days is too close to the IWC 7 Days?
Sure? I don't think so. The size is different, but close, ( 41 mm versus 42 for the IWC, if I'm not wrong ), but the IWC looks much bigger,n due to the aperture of the dial. BUT the most important difference is that on the JLC, the 8 Days is a manual move...
Master control vs Reserve de marshe
First, Nicholas thank you for your wise comments as always! what i meant about the master eight and the iwc 7 days is that their primary complication is the same so i'd rather not buy one that is the same and eventually get something nicer down the road. ...
So, Marc..
The movement in the RDM and Master Control won't be an important criteria, at the moment of the choice, as they are close. What will make the difference, IMO, will be the difference in size between these 2 watches. Smaller, the RDM is also thinner, and it...
DualTime?
Nicolas, what are your thoughts on the DualTime compared to the RDM? I tried on the master control and it just didnt look good on my wrist but they didnt have the RDM in stock to compare...
The Dual Yime adds a friendy complication
To its natural elegance... In terms of complications, I would rate it above the RDM. In terms of aesthetics, it is the same, to me. Best, Nicolas

RDM
I can't assist with the others you mention but I can admit to being a very happy owner of the RDM. I have a 68 Polaris and a Grand Taille also, of these three I believe the RDM to be my nicest dress watch and the one I tend to wear most with a suit.... I ...
