JLC master thin. White or blue Dial

I have long admired this watch with, and without the moon complication.
Trouble, deciding between the blue dye, which I thought I wanted all the white with silver.

There is a white or off-white with rose gold that I love, but I’m saving that combination for a different watch

I hope this is the right place to put this question in to see what people have and enjoy

I think both versions look fantastic. The off-white one with rose gold will go with more outfits than the blue one in my opinion and will be somewhat more discreete.

Either way you can't go wrong. I have a master control calendar from JLC and it has been running perfectly. I am very happy with it.

This is the exact same dilemma I faced when buying my MUT Moonphase.

Try them both on in person if possible. Initially I thought I wanted the blue, based on pics and youtube reviews.

But the blue in person was quite different from what I had seen in digital media. Not in a bad way, just not at all representative of what I had seen previously.

I also tried on the silver (white) dial, and surprisingly it looked much better than it did in pics. There is a subtle sunburst that is not visible in pics. It almost looks sterile in photos, but there is some warmth to it in person. Not as much as the rose gold, but I wasn't interested in that, plus the gold comes with a pin buckle, not a deployant.

After sleeping on it and waffling on which one I missed more, I ultimately got the silver dial.

But definitely check them out in person if your AD has both. You might actually find the shade of blue even more appealing. Or maybe not.

I had same experience. Fell in love with the limited edition Blue Dial MC Date based on web site pictures and YouTube. Bought one; and while I still really liked it, I didn’t “love” it.

Eventually traded out and got silver dial MC Calendar, and do absolutely love it.

Lesson learned, put forth the additional effort to find a dealer and put the watch on your wrist before you buy it..
