After a month and a half of waiting, Santa finally delivered my MUT 38. My lousy pics really does it no justice. I really need to get a lightbox setup because it is hard to shoot this watch. First impressions: Exceptional quality and the movement is (as most JLC fans already know) is a masterpiece. I could spend hours looking at the movement. The winding is buttery smooth - in fact much smoother than the Breguet La Tradition and the VC Patrimony Contemporaine(?) that I played with. The strap is rather long and I was beginning to wonder if it was me who had girlie wrists as I had to adjust the deployant buckle to the second last hole. This is the first watch I have ever ordered without actually having seen it in the metal. I hope I made the right decision

It is a gorgeous piece--a classic--timeless and elegant.  Enjoy!

The MUT38 is really a stunning piece.  I have seen and tried it a few times now, and it is a beauty.  The movement is a wonder, so no wonder you cannot stop looking. I was torn originally about the placement of the old movement in a larger case, but even the original 34mm case seemed a bit large compared to the size of the actual movement, so what is a few extra mm' on the case? 

I hope you enjoy your new piece.  Now, how about some wrist shots???

Congratulations on a great choice.

Wear it in good health throughout the new year!

This MUT is such a lovely watch.

You won't get rid of its classic beauty, its timeless appeal.

It is indeed one of the nicest simple watches you could find, and when you have a look on its movement, you surely will have a smile on your face...

Huge congrats for this beautiful catch.

Best.

Some guts you have to order a watch without seeing it in the flesh first. In this case; you made a perfect choice. I had it on my wrist a couple of weeks ago and was pretty much astonished by its looks. Good one! Enjoy it to the max.

I got my MUT38 just before Christmas too ;-)

Whan I put it (for the first time) on my wrist looked hughe for 38mm.... now seems lika a perfect size.

Looks fragile....and I thought it would be just for special occasions. It just turned out that I did not take it off from my wrist since December 22 ;-)

Now it's my everyday watch.

It's descret, elegant and....plain. I like it.  However I can see the problems rising on the horizont.... my JLC Master Geographic will became jelous ;-))

Any chance to get a pic of your new and fresh Beauty?

Dpn't worry, watches aren't that Jealous! LOL

Best.

You put me in a trouble asking for photos on a wrist ;-)  I wear my watch on a right hand (although I'm not lefthanded) ...hence it's not east to carry a camera and push all of these buttons with just my loosy left hand. But I did it ;-)

It's not an artwork but just for information it would be usefull (I hope)

I would say I have regular hands and wrist size...not like a Canadian timberman or wrestler ;-)

It sits perfectly on your wrist.

Very elegant, indeed.

Feel free to post more pics, and not only Wrist Shots! LOL

Best.
