Which JLC?

Hi guys,

I know this isn't a rolex question but I'd like to hear some answers from this part of the forum. If you had the choice between the JLC master ultra thin moon, or JLC grande reverso calendar.... which one would you choose and why? Thank you.

I have Master Chrono and Grande Revero Gmt... The GMT is amazing ... Discontinued now, but available in secondary

I much prefer the MUT Moon. Why? I don't know, it's just more aesthetically pleasing to me.

MUT Moon. I think the round case makes it more versatile.

I prefer the reverso line in general, but the mut moon is certainly nice

If the reverso shape suits you (and it doesn't suit everyone) then reverso all the way.

Either way, you will end up with a superb watch.

I love both, but like the history of the Reverso a bit more. I do think the MUT is more beautiful, so can't go wrong either way. If you go Reverso, I like the Tribute versions best.

If that's your first JLC a reversion for sure. That's what I did now I'm looking at the MUT and the Geophysic.

MUT, square or rectangular watches don't do it for me.

I like the MUT, but when I hear JLC I just think reverso. That is just me. And that reverso is a good one.

You can't go wrong with either of those. Personal preference. I'd pick the moon.

MUT. I tried to love the reverso but when I put it on, silence.

Reverso - it's an iconic JLC that has its mark in horological history

I have the MUT Moon, TTR 1931 and Geophysic. Find MUT with white face is difficult to read.
