I do find the silver dials to be a bit sterile. I have a MUT Moon, which I bought nearly a decade ago, and even I find it cold every now and then. The black dials, however, I find to be charming* and unassuming.

Dollar for dollar, I think you would be hard pressed to find a brand that presents a better value than JLC in its master control lineup (and chief among the master control lineup, I believe the new MUT Moon to be, perhaps, the ultimate dress watch).

I think they are a great option if you want a dressier "GADA" (go anywhere, do anything) watch. Some might find the silver dials to be a bit sterile. But I find the black dials to be sterile and unassuming.
