Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hi and thanks for your warm and enthusiastic comments below.  In my casual research of this edition, I found an interesting note.  It seems as if this series of 250 in platinum was produced in two versions.  One shows the day/month disc in white background with red print.  With this version it seems the rotor is edged in rose gold.  These are the hallmarks of the Master Moon in other metals, I believe.

In another version (see posts below), the day/month disc is blue to match the dial, with white print.  And, more interestingly, the rotor is edged in platinum rather than gold.  Please note the "PT" on the rotor edge revealed below.  Perhaps there were two editions of the Master Moon in platinum?  Or, perhaps changes were made during the production run?  Perhaps there are other differences as well?  Interesting...

I have also come across one with non English day disc, like this one:

And the red on white disc:

Ref 140.240.987SB vs 140.640.986B for platinum. Unless, of course, there was a LE version done for a specific market. The regular platinum series (Perpetual Calendar, Geographique, Master Moon, Master Reserve de Marche, Master Ultra Thin, Master Grande Memovox and one in the Compressors - Master Compressor Memovox) ceased production in 2004.

I DO wish JLC would continue the trend. I find the blue on blue very sharp with suits and with jeans.
