Which stainless-steel perpetual calendar would you buy? Round 2

Dear TRF,

After much thought and trying all of them out in person, I have eliminated IWC out and added Blancpain into the poll. I have also narrowed down to the list below(from 4 options down to 3 selections):

1) Blancpain Quatieme Perpetual Phases de Lune:

2) Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar:

3) Glashutte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar:


Let me know what you think is the best stainless-steel perpetual calendar dress watch to get? Thank you for your opinion.

I don't like the asymmetry of the Glashutte- I love asymmetrical watches- but this seems to have no balance to me.

I love the Blancpain, and the under the lugs pushers really is amazing. `but would prefer it without the roman numerals.

I also love the JLC- but wish they hadn't put the year window where they have.

None of them is perfect for me- but I would buy the Blancpain out of the three

I’d choose the JLC here but tbh I’m not crazy in love with it.

In my eyes the JLC is the only attractive watch among these. The BP is too busy and the GO dial is a weird combo of windows and subdials as well as roman and stick markers with small arabic numerals.

Personally, I'd rather spend some (or a lot) more on a Patek 3940 if I had to have a PC (which I don't).

BP personally but...not huge on perpetual calendars.

I would recommend looking up the service costs for each of those before committing to one.

I would rank GO, JLC, and BP. Go has a combination of very good finishings, legibility, very good power reserve, and very clean design
