Story of "How I found myself a moon phase watch"
After no luck with the below master moon in WG (still dream about her some time - a perfect watch in my opinion) , I went on with my search for a moon phase watch that will suit me.
picture: ed the watchseller.
I give a try to Glasshute Original Senator Power Reserve Moonphase for short while
the dial color is nice , PR is a plus but not the moon phase and case size. I found moon phase is too stealth and case size too small for my like. needless to say , she was passed down to the other collector.
My radar continue working , I found a perfect sister of the Master Moon - Master Calendar - perfect size at 40mm not too big or small for my 6.5" wrist. But , a big but here IMHO , the dial color in white/silver is too plain.
[How about the one in gold. Yes this one give must better contrast but in gold is beyond my budget
both pictures shamelessly steal from Jaw
Then I realize there is a Boutique Edition. Perfect dial color, just the same 40mm right for my skinny wrist. I was immediately hooked up. But how to get my hand on one as it is suppose to be in limited production.
To make the story short, on one fine day i was offered , IMHO - my grail for now, Master Calendar Boutique Edition. Of course I immediately jump in and the rest is history.
Did I say that perfect size for my small wrist (40mm) , right dial color , good complication.
just couldn't resist to share with you. I hope you find this piece of report is entertaining. Thank you for WATCHing.
Have a nice week end.

Nice journey into the moonphases. Did you ever consider THE absolute ref?
The Vintage one, which was one of the nicest JLC ever made. Now, you maybe should do the pair, the Vintage and the Modern. Superb pics of a superb ruthenium dial, as always, Yong. Best, Nicolas.
Thank you my friend. Nicolas which vintage JLC you are referring to. sorry for my limited
knowledge on JLC vintage I am not vintage guy of any brand.
Huge congrats, Young!
Stunning pics of a stunning watch! 40mm perfect for your wrist? How about sharing a wrist shot?! Best Blomman
Is this moon thing an infectious disease? I didn't give you that did I? :P
Very nice gray dial there although I am biased towards the more traditional layout of my old love the Master Moon Ruckdee
Great pics and great story...
Beautiful watch. It's always interesting to hear about the process of deciding on a watch. The anthracite dial is gorgeous!
