Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello everyone. I was at my local JLC boutique and got a chance to try on the new Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 in pink gold. I had only seen it in pictures and I have to tell you I was pretty impressed. The size was perfect on my wrist at 39 mm and the pink gold, brown strap and off white or almost champange colored dial is a beautiful combinationation. The moon phase complication and date only added to the allure of the watch. It was simple and elegant.

I wanted to ask if anyone has been able to compare both models at the same time, the SS and the gold version. Unfortunately the boutique did not have the SS version at this time. I was wondering what the impression of the stainless steel version would be compared to this one?

Regards,

Javier

 

For your eyes...



It is a matter of taste, Javier. But you can't go wrong with any of those.

What impresses me the most, on this watch is its case. The profile is just somptuous, I have to say.

Best,

The picture is of the RDM models but I get the general idea. They are both nice.

Do you think it is less dressier on the SS version? or equally the same.

All the best,

Javier

The selection window on my small lab top is really small... Sorry.



Here is the correct SS version:



Less dressy, certainly not. More understated, more discrete, colder, but not less elegant.

Best, and once again, sorry!

Thanks for the pic Nico. It does look real nice. I am going to have to try it on my wrist and see how it compares to the gold one. Luckily the boutique will be getting a SS one in the next month so I will let you know what I think.

Seems to be a constant battle I have when I like a watch, the gold or the SS. All my watches are SS or so I keep wanting to make the jump but in the end usually end up with the SS version for some reason. I happened when I bought my last Jaeger reverso TT 1931.

Thank again for your input and pics. Much appreciated!!

Regards,

Javier

 

BUT I must admit that a thin and small watch has a lot of charm in Rose Gold.

Still, I will always prefer white metal watches.

Sometimes, coldness is coolness. Which is the case with the MGUT Moon, in SS.

You will see, you have to see, more than listening to me.

Let us know, yes!

Hasta pronto, Javier!

Personally I think RG is the way to go on this particular piece. It's classy and elegant and on comparison with the SS, the RG just spoke to me more. When you have a chance to compare them both side by side that would be the best time to make a decision. You can't go wrong either way.

Cheers

Thanks Fernando,

I also felt the watch spoke to me in that combination but I will wait to be able to compare with the SS version and see what happens.

The real test is how it looks and feels on my wrist.

All the best,

Javier
