View Full Version : New JLC Master Calendar arrived today
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.
Decided to add another pic of the MC and the RDM together:)

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.

Great-looking watch, Tim - congrats.
And that's a superb pairing of two JLCs.
Wear 'em in great health :)

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.

Please post a shot when you get it on the ostrich--I think that'll be a stunner.
I certainly will, should have them very soon.
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?
