The Jaeger Lecoultre Master Grande Ultra Thin Blue is a cool, very cool watch, already. 



Dressy and class, with its " Ultra Thin " case, cool with its blue dial, this is an eye catching model, in my opinion.

Now, let' s make some changes: 

- The easiest thing: Change the painted JL Jaeger Lecoultre " for an applied. 

- Take one millimeter off, let's go for a 39 or 38 mm case. With such a dial aperture it looks bigger than it is, yet. 

- Now, let's change the automatic movement for a manual winding one, the famous Cal 849, a great and very nicely decorated movement. 

- Consequently, if we go for the Cal 849, then we don't need the small second anymore. 

- Cherry on the cake, let's go for leaf shaped hands. 

What do you think? 

Best,

Nicolas

Iβ€˜m with you all the way, except...

...that Iβ€˜d keep the hands. I like the more sporty and modern look. Itβ€˜s already a very nice piece in any case. This is what JLC really excels at imho. Daniel

True that if we go for leaf hands, then we have to change the arrow indices, too. [nt]

Hmm, I'd Change something else

While I'd Support some of your changes ( e.g. going Manual wound) and disagree with one (going from 39 to 38mm), there's something more important for me. I Had it on my wrist and what kept me away from buying it was the Chosen blue colour. It's too flashy and not the ideal colour Grade. I didn't See this in pictures, but it came directly Into my mind when seeing it in the boutique.

Keep in mind that with the dial aperture of the MUT, it looks way bigger than it is... As for the Blue, under some light conditions, it may look too flashy, indeed. Thanks, NafetS. [nt]
