JLC Ultra Thin Moon

Anyone own one of these? Is it difficult to read the date? I use readers now so it’s difficult to see some dates on some watches.

For what it’s worth, I found the black dial to be a little easier to read than the silver dial.

I would say it’s mildly hard to read. But, it was still on my very shortlist.

It’s most definitely a very elegant dress watch. I absolutely love it in Rosegold. If all works out well I will have one Tuesday.

Love that model in RG. Almost chose it over PP.

Amazing watch. Congratulations - it’s probably my favorite JLC even though I really wanted a blue tribute Reverso.

I previously owned the silver version

I found the silver on white hands difficult to read. It is an elegant watch. It wound up in a 3 for 1 trade for a Patek Calatrava.

I have one and my only issue with it is that it is not really an ultra thin but aside from that it's a beautiful watch and is really well made.

Question, if you're spending on a RG model, why not go with the perpetual calendar in steel i think it might even be cheaper? It's one of my dream watches right now and hopefully I'll get one sooner rather than later if the wife doesn't kill me hahaha
