Which one?
Which of the three I should go for? They are jlc master ultra thin, iwc portuguese automatic or a jlc master control? Existing collection: AP 15400 (blue), GMT Master 2 and grande reverso duo.

While the Portuguese is a classic, the contemporary model looks huge... I'd say either of the JLC's over the IWC.

My sentiment as well. Although the IWC is a fine piece, I find its dial a bit too large due to the almost non-existent bezel.

IWC may be more versatile, it will depend on your needs. JLC MUT for me

The IWC is WAY to big for a nice dress watch. Between the two JLC's I would have to say the MUT.

I have the mc, and will prob get the moon one day. IMO the iwc shouldn't be in the conversation. If cost is not a issue, grab the moon. It's stunning

I love IWC but in this case go for the JLC moonphase.

I prefer the JLC. The IWC is a really nice piece and more versatile with different attire (if you don't mind the thickness).

I like all 3 but slight advantage to jlc master control...I prefer simpler dials. I also prefer the IWC with the silver/white dial & blue numbers.
