6/ 2 for the latter. Thanks for your feedback, Robin. Interesting thoughts! [nt]

Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days Perpetual Calendar: How do you like it?
2003: Or circa 2012? The movement is the same, Cal 876, manual winding 8 days Perpetual Calendar. The case has been slightly revisited, in platinum for the 2003 Edition, in steel for the 2012 edition. The bezel is slimmer on the latter. The main differenc...
the second one.
why? because the first the first suffers from a lack of color , this makes the whole very dull.
The second one for me
Cleaner dial in general. And they've changed the typeface subtly too, I think, to a cleaner typeface. The old one was a tad cluttered visually.
They're both beautiful...
I just wish that JLC would have put a visual moonphase, instead of the pointer-style, which I dislike. -Dean
The first...but...
I prefer the first one but...readability is poor. I recently owned a Master Grad Reveil and it was so hard to read the time under low light condition that I sold this watch. Here is the same...I guess ist better if the guys at LeSentier will spend blue ha...
Second one for me
Perfect proportions...40mm...not small, but not big either (down 1.5mm from the prior version, I believe). The slimmer bezel and lugs make a big difference as well. I also like the splash of color on the newer MP 8-day. One quibble I have with both is tha...
You are right, John, the newer is 1, 5 mm smaller. Which is a very good point, IMO. 3 / 1 for the latter.
I prefer the power reserve and night and day indicator of the former, but I would prefer seeing them on the back side, yes. Best, Nicolas
I prefer the 2nd one Nico
The first one is nice but a tad "boring" in today\'s design standards IMHO (although it is more discreet and some collectors may prefer that) Cheers Robin
Amanico, I Have To Admit I Am...
... Partial to the one in platinum. But it's not really a fair question because I believe owning a Master 8-Day Perpetual probably disqualifies me from having an objective opinion - Scott
That Picture Was Taken On...
... Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015. Could it be... Might it be... Wait for it... That's MY watch in the photo!
Actually, The Watch Is Showing...
... The time in Los Angeles. So it was really around 6:00pm Paris time when you were shooting these pix with that fancy lightbox of yours! I love how the "flow" of the dial properly states the day, date, month and year. Oh yeah, I guess it was also a quar...
The second one...
I prefer the dial, it is more lively. I have been thinking about getting this as well but I wasn't sure how easy it would be to read the date as it seems quite small to the eye.
