JLC MUT Perpetual in steel
I saw this a couple days ago in a local boutique and it haven't stopped thinking about it.
Thoughts? |

Best value on a perpetual out there for sure! I've seriously thought about getting it but the dial leaves me a tad underwhelmed.

The dial is a little plain. In looking for a classic watch, though, they mostly seem to be a tad underwhelming. That's been the challenge for me. |

There is no denying the great value with a perpetual calendar in SS from JLC, but I'm no fan. I don't like the year indicator, it is a real eye sore IMO, and why does JLC use an ebauche from IWC? That is no way for "the watchmaker's watchmaker" to behave.

It's a very nice watch, especially the white gold version with the gained dial and nickeled indices. I don't love the ultra-thin case with a perpetual though. |

My understanding is that it is a Kurt Klaus PC module fitted to a JLC movement. IWC happens to use the same module. |

Great value and great watch, but a bit busy in my eyes. I really love the MUT 39 Moon however.

I like it a lot. My AD has a pre owned one in stock that I recently tried on, and it was very nice

i recently acquired this......had to move 2 pieces in the collection plus some $.
Classic design with several complications that does not dominate the dial. Also like the subtle color accents. Appolgies for the poor quality of the photo. |

I have a JLC perpetual in steel, 37mm. Love it and great value for the money, although I'm going to sell/trade mine.

Very nice. There's an AP perpetual on TRF imo looks better than this for the same price I'm assuming you should check it out.
