Just received today and loving it
JLC master Calendar Boutique edition (Limited 35 units worldwide)

The watch is magnificent . Many thanks to Harb for suggesting this as a great triple date moon. he is so right

From the pics you will see it is considerably bigger and thicker than the RDM.

I have ordered some new straps for it which I will have in a week or so. Don't like the brown (Pooh coloured) croc strap that came with it. I don't think brown goes with grey (Grey, Black, Blue or even Burgandy, but not Brown)
Wish it had the bigger deployment rather than the diddy 16mm one,which dictates a thinner strap at the deployment end. But I can also live with that.

Really excited though. This watch will get a lot of wrist time.

fantastic watch I like it a lot, pictures don't make justice to the timepiece in question.
wear it in good health!

Love it, love it--at some point when I convince myself (it's rarely difficult) that I need a true "dress' watch this will be on the short list. Agree about the brown strap, however--black, although hardly inspired, is the obvious choice with a gray dial. I looked seriously at a Perrelet a couple of years ago with a gray dial on a gray strap that was pretty fetching.

Thanks for the comments

I have ordered the following;

Light grey ostrich

Mid Burgandy Croc

Dark green polished Beaver (the four legged type ;) )

I will see which one suits best and post pics. Should get them in a week or so.

if the light gray ostrich is the same used in the Reverso the combination will look awesome

It is as close as i could get. Skins vary from strap to strap.

Send both to Spain in 10 days :)

That's a really beautiful watch - I love the dial and I love moonphases (such a pity Rolex does not do this anymore).

Congratulations on a great choice.

I completely agree Triple date moon is seriously missing from the Rolex portfolio.

Couldn't carry on using the (Pooh) Brown strap. haven't received the ostrich or croc straps yet.
So for the moment I have put it on the Green Polished Beaver, which arrived yesterday, from Italy.
I think it looks better already.
I will post more pics when the other straps arrive.

Very nice, indeed, Tim. Looks fantastic.

Do you have a link for the supplier of that strap?
