Some help choosing
Alright you bunch of experts, I would like your opinions. I am looking at these 3 options right now - IWC Spitfire Mark XVI Chrono, Blancpain Leman Moon Phase, and JLC Master Calendar. Mosco has been very helpful with this - one of the good guys.
Based on these you can see the basic style I am looking for (leather band, light/silver face, pilot kind of look). Which one would you choose and why? If none, do you have another idea for me?

I love them all but the JLC Master Calendar gets top billing in my opinion.
Nice choices and a tough decision. Terry Newton

46and2? Is that a reference to the Tool song? GREAT band -very under appreciated, IMO.
The JLC looks amazing but I really want to see it in person compared to the IWC. Tough to do.

I hear you about tough to see in person. Around here, we have 2 Rolex ADs, 2 Omega ADs, 1 Panerai AD, and 1 or 2 Breitling ADs. We have none that carry what I consider "high end" or haute horologie. |

Hey Chris, three very watches, but my vote also goes to the JLC. I've actually been thinking about adding that one to my collection as well, I think it is the nicest calender/moonphase watch in it's price range. The build quality and movement are what you would expect from a quality brand like JLC, but I find the dial one of the best thought out and clear/easy to read layouts in its class.
