Hi all, I really couldn't believe my ears when my AD gave me a call last week to tell me he just received a RG Master Chrono. Quite quick imo just after SIHH. Normally you had to wait until september for the new stuff to arrive. So sorry that I didn't tak... 

Here's a picture I just took of the SS Master Chrono: And here, the case back: I'm pretty sure it will be a hit. The case has nice proportions, the solid case back is not shocking at all, and the dial is sober, almost understated, and very elegant. I love...  

And yes, I agree that it will probably be a hit. You are right about the understated dial and yet there is quite a lot happening on it. But it never seems busy at all. On pictures it seems a big bigger in diameter than it actually is. Do you know the seco... 

I still prefer the SS to the RG, but to each his own, or.... Best of both worlds? Then the SS Boutique Edition with its RG indexes and hands is for you! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-04-27 13:22:57

the painted blue subdial hands on my hometime is my biggest gripe with the watch!

When I visited vthe Manufacture, past year, I saw the place where they heat the screws to give them this blue finish... Same things for hands. So, for me too, blue heated hands or screws, or nothing! Best, Nicolas

I really like this chronograph! The dial doesn’t look that busy as they often do… Maybe it’s time for me to break my no chrono trend?! Especially for you Nicolas, as I know how much you like these plane-spheres I had a close encounter whit this one a few ...  

The ultimate sports tourbi! IMHO. I love that one. Did you take any other photos of it? respo

But which one? From the Duometre, to this Master Chrono, without forgetting the Amvox II, the EWC, the Navy SEALs Chrono, the MC Diving Chrono, the choice is wide... And tempting. Keep us updated in your thoughts, my friend. Best, Nicolas

That the Master Chrono feels very tempting, consider looks + price … But of course if price wasn’t an issue, then the Duometre or Amvox II would be my first choice! There are so many great chronos to choose from – I am afraid to open tha... 

but .......still Still dreaming a a NSA for my next JLC.

Different complications, and at the end...Different watches! The NSA is not a bad choice, either. Keep us updated, please! Best, Nicolas

seeing that master chrono just reminds me of the beautiful, superbly designed and quality standards JLC offers, get me yearning for an NSA ......but it has to wait because of my latest GS purchase. Drew

Hi Nicholas What is the diameter of the watch and what chronograph movement is JLC using for this watch? Thank you for the pictures. Wengho

The diameter is 40 mm, and the movement is the well known Cal 751. Best, Nicolas

it on my wrist and have to wear it home.

Trying it once again, and my friends were puzzled... The reasonnable proportions of the case ( see the post I did just after the SIHH ) are complimenting the very classic dial. An elegant offer, IMO. Best, my friend. Nicolas

and big case apparently. The date window seems a bit lost. nice work on the hands and dial.

Then maybe the Memo International is not that far away?! Best Blomman

Yeah, I thought you would go for that black dial ;-) You never no when JLC starts with the distribution of new watches. I must say that I am very curious to see the Memovox International in the flesh. Best, Starman

A stunning watch. Comfortable, lively, great size...a big winner, in my view.

For some this maybe just another chrono on the field, but this one does the trick for me! Best, Starman

The case wears larger than 40mm to me, and it is beautifully finished. The dial is clean and sober, and I did not mind the date as much as I did in pictures. The pushers were smooth with a definite "click" upon engagement. I want to see the boutique editi... 

Is the steel msrp similar to the master compressor chrono? Best,
