JLC Reserve De Marche

Gents. I’ve fallen in love with the JLC Reserve De Marche but cannot decide between the 2 dials. Currently leaning towards the blue. Thoughts?

The dark dial looks amazing if that helps.

^^ Don't think there is any question. Definitely the blue.
No contrast between the case, dial and hands on the other.

Both look great- no preference here, but go blue if you like it.

Probably 2nd favorite Master Control, behind the Moon.

I like the silver

But then again that is the one I have (in) 37mm though. You can not go wrong with either.

Thanks for the responses. Deffo leaning towards the blue - it’s such a gorgeous dial.

Are you seriously asking? One looks stunning, the other nice but nothing special. Won't say which as it is so obvious

To be fair the white looks better than the pic in real life, whereas the blue, well the blue is the blue

Well your first love was the right choice IMO, even if the white looks better in real, still far from the blue I would imagine

The white is more classic, also can be dressed up and down. When you go with that dark shade of blue, it seems more dress and a tad more difficult to wear with shorts and a t shirt.

Agree that the white is the more classic look for this reference, but I always associated the blue dial with a less formal look.

It really is a matter of taste but the blue has a fresher look as it is a recent addition to the JLC lineup. The white just feels a little more dull even though it's a great watch and there should be more watches with a power reserve indicator!

White or blue

White face looks a little bare , as its not a formal dress watch (IMHO) rather a watch of interest -give it even more interest and deffo go with blue.

I like both but the blue appears to work better for readablity.

However I think the white looks more timeless and can be dressed down with a tan leather strap

I guess I need another visit to the boutique

Have you seen this blue dial in the wild? It seems a bit electric, overly bright hue.

I've seen that blue dial in person. Absolutely beautiful! Unless you have other blue dials and are looking for something silver, go with the blue.
