Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing and potentially getting the new Master Control Geographic myself.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of discounting did you get on this?

Strap is not that bad really it is soft and color changes as time goes by its becoming darker brown that compliments the silvery dial. Il keep the brown strap maybe swap it to blue gator next time...

That blue gator strap is so perfect on this amazing piece. Personally I find the brown strap it comes with a bizarre choice from JLC that clashes with the watch. The blue gator should have come standard even if it requires cost increase. Otherwise it looks like cost cutting in your face. Incredible watch.

Congratulations! That's a great looking watch! I strongly considered its predecessor in gold and this is one of my favorite new releases this year, along with the triple calendar moonphase chronograph version. I also really like the new quick change straps on these JLCs, as they can be quickly dressed up or down.

Nice work, was this hard to get may I ask? Looking to get the calendar chronograph in the UK, tried to negotiate discount after viewing the display-only model but they were hesitant. Made the deposit and agreed to discuss when it comes in within the next couple of weeks. Not tried to get discount before but this would be my first £10K + watch.

Be firm and try to challenge them with online price that's how I did it except for rolex that's definitely impossible . Mine is the first delivery around july when I purchased mine and it took them months to get hold on another piece, maybe because of covidoo..

Congratulations. I've been looking at this piece myself. I think the blue gator looks great. It looks a little dressier, and the brown more casual. What are your thoughts? Thanks

I actually kept the blue gator strap. I luv the look and feel of it. The calf is much softer now compared before. But Gator for me.

Great watch. So much history and value in JLC. Honestly I’m surprised this brand isn’t moving more watches.

Congratulations!
I own the same model from a previous generation (37mm) with a blue face, blue strap and I love it.
An absolute classic

Very nice. I almost pull the trigger on the 39mm version years ago. Thanks
