As those of you who responded to my teaser post guessed my Master Ultra Thin Jubilee has arrived! Here are a couple of quick photos. Sorry about the quality. I'll try and shoot some better ones in the near future.

It's amazing how thin this watch is. I really don't think that pictures fully capture it.

4.05mm=Fantastic

Just for comparison here's the Jubilee with my Master Ultra Thin 38. I have to admit that I was thinking that I would sell my MUT 38 when the Jubilee arrived. However, seeing them side by side makes me think that there is room in my collection for both.

Even though the MUT 38 seems a bit bloated these days, at a full 6.3 mm, it is still a great watch ; )

There is one thing I need to mention. In most of these pictures the Jubilee is on a different strap than the one it came with. I currently have it on a dark blue lightly padded strap from a Reverso. The Master Ultra Thin Jubilee ships on a non-padded high-gloss black strap.

While I loved the thinness of the strap I really didn't care for the high gloss finnish. It's just too dressy for me. I have a matte black strap on order. Until it arrives then the Reverso strap will just have to do.

I got the call to pick up mine as well, which I can't get until next week due to business travel.  I can't wait and your pictures don't help!

between the two. But at just 4mm, I find it too thin for my liking. The 38mm MUT is my prefered choice including its lively dial. But it's just me.

They each have their charms which, as I mentioned, is why I'm going to keep both. That way I don't have to decide which I like more!

Congratulations, ooh! JLC...you've done it again

Yet another year where out of everything presented at SIHH a "simple" JLC watch was the star of the show (at least for me). It happened a couple years ago with the Reverso 1931 and now with the Jubilee.

The side-view pictures really explain the design and proportions beautifully! Can't wait to see it in the metal.

.... very very nice and huge congrats on your great piece arrived, Mark ;-)

interesting to see both MUT pieces side-by-side, it seems the Jubilee one looks much elegant and handsome!

but don't dismiss the MUT 38! It is still a great watch, jus a bit less formal.

The MUT 38 and the Jubilé are so different ( case and dial, case back ) that you can consider owning both of them.

The MUT Jubilé is clearly one of the winners of this year, all brands included.

It gave birth to a new concept: The Spectacular elegance.

I am totally in love with this case!

Bravo, once again, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas

It certainly is a great watch. I do wish they had stuck with a matte strap though.....

A stunning watch!

Here is my version from the 125 Jubilé greeting yours!

I love the Ostrich strap!

Looking good Mark!  

The watches at SIHH were prototypes. Luckily the issue is just a strap and therefore easily remedied. I would have been much more upset if they had changed the dial or something that wasn't a quick fix.

Congrats rovermark on a beautiful JLC.  It's incredible thin and looks great.

but I have a question , I'v seen the prototype one & it was with dark blue strap , Does all production watches come with black strap or can be order the dark blue one?

I wish I had a definite answer for you, but mine was the only one the boutique received so I wasn't able to compare it with another. I would assume that they all come on the shiny strap though. 

This was one of the stars from the preview events..

and I know you couldn't wait to get your hands on one..

I love the simple dial and of course..THIN!  (which I am not!)

Congrats again my friend!

I quit smoking earlier this year and seem to have (stereotypically) picked up a couple of extra pounds!

....in a way that few other manufacturers can do it

is their engineering expertise. The fact that many of the great watch companies have bought their movements from JLC speaks volumes.
