Thin is in!

As those of you who responded to my teaser post guessed my Master Ultra Thin Jubilee has arrived! Here are a couple of quick photos. Sorry about the quality. I'll try and shoot some better ones in the near future.

It's amazing how thin this watch is. I really don't think that pictures fully capture it.

4.05mm=Fantastic

Just for comparison here's the Jubilee with my Master Ultra Thin 38. I have to admit that I was thinking that I would sell my MUT 38 when the Jubilee arrived. However, seeing them side by side makes me think that there is room in my collection for both.

Even though the MUT 38 seems a bit bloated these days, at a full 6.3 mm, it is still a great watch ; )

There is one thing I need to mention. In most of these pictures the Jubilee is on a different strap than the one it came with. I currently have it on a dark blue lightly padded strap from a Reverso. The Master Ultra Thin Jubilee ships on a non-padded high-gloss black strap.

While I loved the thinness of the strap I really didn't care for the high gloss finnish. It's just too dressy for me. I have a matte black strap on order. Until it arrives then the Reverso strap will just have to do.

Fabulous!

I got the call to pick up mine as well, which I can't get until next week due to business travel. I can't wait and your pictures don't help!

I suspect it will be a long week : ) [nt]

Thank you for sharing, especially the comparison

By: mell0822 : July 30th, 2013-04:35

between the two. But at just 4mm, I find it too thin for my liking. The 38mm MUT is my prefered choice including its lively dial. But it's just me. Melvin

Thanks Melvin

They each have their charms which, as I mentioned, is why I'm going to keep both. That way I don't have to decide which I like more!

Amazingly, mesmerisingly beautiful Time Piece Mark.....

Congratulations, ooh! JLC...you've done it again:) Cheers Francois

I agree. JLC did it again.

By: rovermark : July 30th, 2013-15:45

Yet another year where out of everything presented at SIHH a "simple" JLC watch was the star of the show (at least for me). It happened a couple years ago with the Reverso 1931 and now with the Jubilee.

Gorgeous!

The side-view pictures really explain the design and proportions beautifully! Can't wait to see it in the metal. -Dean

huge congrats, lovely piece!

By: FanFrancisco : July 30th, 2013-09:02

.... very very nice and huge congrats on your great piece arrived, Mark ;-) interesting to see both MUT pieces side-by-side, it seems the Jubilee one looks much elegant and handsome! stefan

I agree that the Jubilee is a bit more elegant

By: rovermark : July 30th, 2013-15:48

but don't dismiss the MUT 38! It is still a great watch, jus a bit less formal.

There is indeed room for both, Mark!

By: amanico : July 30th, 2013-11:24

The MUT 38 and the Jubilé are so different ( case and dial, case back ) that you can consider owning both of them. The MUT Jubilé is clearly one of the winners of this year, all brands included. It gave birth to a new concept: The Spectacular elegance. ;)...

Thanks Nicolas.

By: rovermark : July 30th, 2013-15:56

It certainly is a great watch. I do wish they had stuck with a matte strap though.....

The strap is, as you well know, often a problem. I agree. [nt]

Huge congratulation, Mark!

A stunning watch! :) Here is my version from the 125 Jubilé greeting yours! :) Best Blomman ...

Thanks Blomman

I love the Ostrich strap!

Thin Thin Thin!

By: patrick_y : July 30th, 2013-12:34

Looking good Mark! Um, I really don't like the strap it ships on. And that was not the strap that I saw the watch on during SIHH. In all of my photos, I see the watch should come on a strap that is stitched and matte blue. I'd go back to the boutique and ...

In JLC's defense...

By: rovermark : July 30th, 2013-16:05

The watches at SIHH were prototypes. Luckily the issue is just a strap and therefore easily remedied. I would have been much more upset if they had changed the dial or something that wasn't a quick fix. That being said, I really do hate the glossy strap. ...

Congrats on the new JLC!

Congrats rovermark on a beautiful JLC. It's incredible thin and looks great. Regards, ED-209

Beautiful, congratulations

By: AHMED.G : July 31st, 2013-12:28

but I have a question , I'v seen the prototype one & it was with dark blue strap , Does all production watches come with black strap or can be order the dark blue one?

Thanks Ahmed

By: rovermark : July 31st, 2013-22:10

I wish I had a definite answer for you, but mine was the only one the boutique received so I wasn't able to compare it with another. I would assume that they all come on the shiny strap though.

FANTSTIC PICKUP Rovermark!

By: ocwatching : July 31st, 2013-15:24
