Horological Meandering

Hey everyone, This forum has been a great resource in terms of information, opinion and research thanks to to great community. I've made many purchasing decisions on the great advice here, but I'm looking for opinions between 2 esoteric choices -- which o... 

In terms of complicatons, I'd say the Moser, of course, as a perpetual calendar is, to me, more appealing than a " simple " moonphase. And the Moser is an interesting perpetual calendar! BUT, there are several reasons which lead me to go for the JLC, inst... 

I cannot countenance the foudroyante sharing time with a moonphase complication, which to me together suggests a celestial serenity offset by the frenzied and frenetic function of the foudroyante. An unresolved tension......' I'd opt for the Moser in this...

Wow, thanks for all the great opinions Keep them coming! It seems that there're slightly more people liking the JLC due to the dial being more interesting. Amanico did bring up a good point saying that Moser's simplicity is a two-edged sword and I agree. ... 

a small but meaningful (to you) collection is the right way to go. Don't rush in to impulse buys. Take your time to look, re-look and re-look a watch before you commit. The initial WOW, marketing forces can often lead to impulse buys that you could regret... 

I'd prefer a perpetual calendar... even though I do not own one so the vote goes to the Moser... But whatever decision that you make, both watches are winners! Cheers, GG
