The only JLC that you have that I think of even more lovingly is the Septantieme.... That's a Reverso I could end up getting at some point....
'I'm her two-penny prince....
.... and I give her hot love Ahaa....' Those lyrics by T-Rex came to mind instantaneously 😁 Gotta be some of the most humorous of any love song ever written........
It works just fine for me!
Is it perhaps a restricted region thing? Here's another link....
This industrial open work design isn't for me (and I really dislike the small plate at the bottom of the dial with eighth and sixteenth notes).
But in the Tim Mosso's review I've just watched to discover this watch I knew nothing about, this MR sounds really good!
Yes, I totally understand, this strong design cannot be everyone's taste, of course. The heel you mention is the link between the gongs and the glass, whose purpose is to amplify the sound.
For a less open dial on MMR variants
I recommend Q1646410 and Q1646420, both of which have more substantial dials with smaller cutaways to the movement. Also see Q1646409 which features only two small elliptical cutaways in an otherwise enamel dial. And if you can stomach a heap of yellow gold, the MGTMR Q5011410 has a fully solid dial while also being technically fascinating.

You probably won’t be surprised that the yellow gold Q5011410
is my clear favorite. I don’t only like it much better than the others: I find it really gorgeous with the regulator display and guilloché dial!
Thanks, Tim, for your recommendations.
I’ve checked all 4 of them and the yellow gold Q5011410 is an instant winner for me! I’ve always loved regulator displays and this guilloché dial looks gorgeous. And I’m a colored gold guy, so this is really the one for me! I like the 3 others a lot less (but it’s only my taste of course). Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel
