I finally saw this watch in person...
It reminds me of how Pateks can sometimes be not particularly impressive, UNTIL they are on the wrist. I hope this level of candor is OK! But I remember seeing a 5070 wg in person years ago... comparing it to a Dato... and finding the Patek a silly joke. But then... on the wrist... far preferring the Patek. This is my long way of saying that I was not moved by this watch in and of itself, but on the wrist, it sings! Certain elements of it are not 'moving' but as a whole... lovely.

The black Master Control
Nothing much to say except this is a brilliantly made black dial watch that works so well with every day wear, and is really comfortable and practical to wear. The black is also a very attractive shade, a lot to admire here....
Excellent piece
Glad they didn't destroy it with white background date window we usually see Cheers D
I would have walked away from it if that was the case :-)
Thanks, my friend. Not many manufacturers realize the importance of coherent color schemes. I'm glad this one didn't fail that test.
Fully agree - a white date background would've ruined it!
the other thing they got right was the case dimensions - a very restrained 39mm size with a svelte 9mm case. Only wish the bezel could be a hair slimmer and it would be perfect.
Excellent Choice: Gorgeous!
Hi Richard, Congratulations on this fine arrival. I was struck by the watch when it debuted at SIHH, and I think it accomplished incredible impact with an economy of lines, tones, and details. This may be the coolest version of a modern-era JLC classic an...
A really superp, understated watch...
and I agree, I personally HATE white boxes - especially when a brand could have made or purchased at matching date disc and made the look "cleaner." I can't wait until the rose gold version comes out! -Dean
Looks great!
Saw it at Heathrow the other day but then got distracted by a phone call and did not try it on in the end But looks like a spectacular watch - nicely understated, very usable and very, very nice
Sometimes you have to thank those little distractions
especially when it comes to watches. They can end up as those little accidental ownership moments Thanks for the comments..it is certainly a very nice one, especially once it is on the wrist.

Well put, and very true
This is a watch that looks like a "watch". Nothing spectacular at first glance, except the deep black, but once it's on the wrist, it comes alive.
You are still on a roll Richard :)
Congrats! The black dial is sublime! I like this too Cheers Robin
Wait...I think I have a few of those....
For once I'll use the one with the date so I know when 2016 is in
Another Beauty
Simple yet strong looking. At the risk of coming off as a Philistine, reminds me of a more refined version of my Rolex Explorer, but the strap gives it a refinement I really like. Since I acquired a Reverso Duo this summer, I'm getting to know the fabulou...
