Alternatives to JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon 39?
Hi all,
I am looking for some of your expert advice. I am considering a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 (in SS) and wondering if I should also be considering other watches in the same price range, which I would set at approximately US$9,000 - US$12,000 pre-tax. I only have one other watch, the JLC Grande Taille, and I love it. It's my everyday watch. While I love JLC, I am also open to checking out other manufactures and other models within the wonderful JLC family.
Some background to guide your advice...
I am a young female with a preference for male watches, though my wrist cannot handle anything over 40mm diameter (thus wiping out Panerais and many IWCs, which look like hamburgers on my wrist).
Because I already have a rectangular watch, I would prefer a round face this time.
I am not particularly committed to Swiss manufactures.
My approach to watches is not really an "investment" mindset. I focus mainly on whether the watch looks good on my wrist and that's about it.
My watch knowledge is admittedly narrow, which is why I am seeking your expertise here. I would appreciate any recommendations that you may have! Thank you so much.

Glashutte Original Senator Sixties
Hi, You might want to consider the GO Senator Sixties as well. It's the same size as the UTT Moon 39, for the non date version, while the one with the big date is slightly larger. The UTT39 is a beautiful and comfortable watch, though the date can be a li...

Richard N: Thank you so much. GO is definitely something I am looking at. Love the Senator Sixties. Any other GOs you recommend? What about the PanoMaticLunar?
GO
GO has a lot to choose from, and they're all great. The Panomatic Lunar is 42mm though and does wear the size, so it might be new territory for you based on your preference of size. The Panoinverse XL would be another to check out if 42mm sounds about rig...
Rolex daytona
This is a really sexy watch for a woman to wear. Also captures value and also has the advantage that it is a chronohraph. Less than 40mm and is round.
daytona
Posadacastro: That's a great recommendation, and I would get one in SS / Black dial, but I am already planning to get it for my fiance as his wedding gift.... so it may be a bit too much to have two Daytonas! Maybe one day..... ;)
JLC Memovox, Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm, the MUT Moon 39
These are excellent choices. The GO Sixties, too, I must say. A Rolex 116710 also... And so many! Best, Nicolas
The Senator Sixties is not only a worthy candidate . . .
. . . as Richard has suggested, but also . . . . . . lists substantially under your budget. And, while you can't appreciate its unique quality while on your wrist . . . . . . the entirely sapphire caseback provides the best view of the business end of a w...
