Saw this today. JLC knocked it out of the park here. Dial is on point. Moonphase disk looks rich. Easily legible with a great, finished movement to look at. All in a svelte 10mm.

Shame it's a limited run.

Not sure about the dial, but full marks for the date display with polished outer and inner rings, and the raised numerals.

That is seriously amazing! If JLC did a serial run of these even without enamel, it would get my money

Best of all variations of that model. However the dial pattern looks like a Rolex Cellini, not a grand feu enamel (a painted one?), date probably not legible at all.

Very attractive but JLC still didn't address the date legibility on this new release. One of the reasons I let the prior version go.

I personally could care less if I could read the date. This watch is about the dial and moon phase. For the date I pull out my iPhone

If it had Patek on the dial people would say it was a bargain. $35,800 for a true limited edition, white gold, enamel dial, haut horologie isn't that bad.

That’s because it would be! Idk that’s Patek Journe and Lange money. The movement won’t stand up under scrutiny to Patek or VC let alone Journe or Lange.

That said wow I like it. If it was SS and 15k I’d be sorely tempted.

Have to agree... the price is pretty intense.

Bummer that it is LE and in gold only. Otherwise it looks great in photos!

For a JLC, the price point is hard to swallow. And after experiencing Seiko Enamel dials in Presage, I cannot justify paying higher price for enamels. Also, the sunburst radiant blue dial reminds me of my Seiko blue presage that cost < 100X the price. Just saying..



That said, I may change tune if I see actual.

This is a really nice Seiko, Ben!

I took a look and only found it on a bracelet (model SRPB41J1)...Did you switch yours out, or is there a model number of which I'm not aware?

Thanks.

Yes it comes with a bracelet by default. I swap it out for a leather strap.
