Pretty simple for Humble Me.. +1 on pref of the Jubilé ! ;))
.. Next to the watch & design-related differences,
the substantial, hefty price premium on top
is another reason..
Thx for this interesting share,

Jaeger Lecoultre Ultra Thin 1907 Enamel Grand Feu. A revelation.
When it was unveiled in 2014, the MUT 1907 Enamel Grand Feu broke my heart for two reasons: First a very high price, way much higher than the MUT 39 Jubilé platinum which was a real bargain and deal. Then because of a detail which, in my opinion, ruined t...
You said it all...
First of all thanks for the post. I am curious to see the reactions of our fellow Purists friends and I bet the score will be much in favour of the MUT Jubilé which is also my choice BTW. The design of both is sublime (of course it is the same) but... the...
hands down to...
MUT 39 Jubilé platinum ! Email dial has a good visual impact but personally I love the dial to age along with the watch... The dial of Jubilé has its own character with the grained texture plus it allows you to keep the extra cash for another watch ;-) Is...
In my opinion no contest at all:
Jubilee wins on every important issues: material, thickness, price, and one more thing: it is a limited one! I was a lucky owner of a Jubilee, and if I see the pictures, I can tell you: I am still regreting the sale.. Two things speak for the Grand Feu: t...
That is the very interesting point.
When both were released, with a difference of one year, there was no match for me. The Jubilé was the clear winner. Now that the enamel dial is " cleaned "... I am not sure anymore. The leaf hands and the enamel dial are torturing me. But let me tell you ...
I could not agree more...
MUT Jubilé is a keeper one the one hand, and the 2 are too close to each other to have both : same caliber, same case (but the ubilé wins in thinness), same dial design even if not at all the same finishing... So it would be a non sense to have both. In o...
When I talk of ultra thin watches ..............
I do want them to be ultra thin. So the first priority is thickness (or should I say "thiness"). Ceteris paribis, 5.04mm loses out to 4.05mm (by almost 25%).
For a number of years,
JLC made MUT with sapphire crystal backs, which increased the thickness by a big margin. I stayed away from MUT when there were no closed back models available at that time.
This is a beauty which
I'd love to own, if my pocket is deep enough. The MUT Jubilee is not the thinnest in the JLC camp, yet it is already thinner than the MUT white gold enamel dial.

The Jubilee, without much hesitation,
is the winner here. Also because I consider its dial design somewhat purer: just the special paper structure of the white surface, black hour markers and dots. Assuming the enamel version sports applied indices (the pics are not 100 % clear and I do not r...
The Jubilé hands down. It was an instant winner when I first saw it. Rapidly went from an interest to a need when I saw it on a friend's wrist. Same friend that later on told me about the Reverso 101.
The Jubilé is exquisite. No other word for it and I agree that ultra thin should mean just that, ultra thin.
