Jaeger Lecoultre Master Grande Ultra Thin 40 Champagne Dial.
You certainly know the Master Grande Ultra Thin, its 40 mm big / 7, 4 mm high steel case and Cal 899/1 automatic movement. We already discussed it. But did you know this Champagne dial version? I find this dial sublime. Really class, elegant, and it chang...
What a beautiful dial! However....
this is one time that I agree with you. The date here is a eye sore especially against the sunburst pattern! Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph
I like the date, however...
I would have preferred a little extra $ in the construction: make the date wheel the same color as the dial and make the date font silver to match the index markers. -Dean

The date is needed , get over it nico.
Its redundant. Every minute is part of a day , a date. My opinion. Respect yours. Its a good design of a watch in fact gorgeous. Geross.
Gorgeous.
Regarding date I can see how it would look empty without on a 40mm time only and I can also see how many buyers seem to want one. Me for one do not find the date necessary as I have a smartphone surgically attached to my hand when I am not at my desk. In ...
Well, we most often know what day we are, but we never know what time it is. That's why I don't get the interest of a date, unless...
It is an original one, or a sophisticated one ( Grande Date ). Or a complete one ( Triple Calendar, perpetual calendar ). Best, Nicolas
