Jaeger-LeCoultre: One final question

Have members used xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? It's an online dealer which seems to be about xx% cheaper than ADs. I just want to check that it's legit. ***GREY MARKET DEALER DELETED PER FORUM RULES**** This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-10-03 11:53:59

Jaeger-LeCoultre: MUT 34mm vs Zenith Elite automatic

Ok, well I finally got to try on the MUT 34mm today. It is very nice indeed. The lady at the AD also showed me a Zenith Elite Automatic (01.1125.680/01.C490). It is similar in style and size to the JLC, but with a date and second hand (I'm quite keen on a date function and the MUT doesn't have one).

Jaeger-LeCoultre: well that is good news

also, how do the movements compare in each? I gather from another post in this thread that the RDM has an updated movement but the MUT uses an existing (older) one?

Jaeger-LeCoultre: ok, well, I will give it a try

along with the RDM for comparison. ... although I note the MUT is more expensive than the RDM :-(

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Does JLC still manufacture a 34m version?

Thanks respo. Is the 34mm version still available new (do JLC still make them?) or would I have to source one pre-owned? I don't feel confident enough to go down the pre-owned route, so it's an important consideration. Also, I'm looking at SS only, for budgetary reasons, if that makes any difference

Jaeger-LeCoultre: But why enlarge all models except one?

Nicolas, that would be logical if every watch in the line was 40mm or larger, but what I don't get is why the RDM should have stayed smaller. Why would you enlarge all but one of your models?

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Marcelo, that's a very nice watch

... not to mention a fantastic picture - great camera work. I have to tell you it's been a frustrating search. Having decided on a JLC I then discovered that the Master range is all 40mm or larger (and, as I mentioned, too big for my wrist). What I'd love is a Master Classic or Master Grand Taille,

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Could you elaborate?

Thanks both. In relation to complications being "sought after", I was asking in general rather than specifically in relation to the RDM. I figured that maybe complications were seen by officianados as desirable because they represent a greater level of technical accomplishment? I'm also curious abou

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Master RMD - advice sought

I am new to the forum and wanted to canvas members' views on the following. My wife has asked me to choose a watch for my 40th birthday. After much research I have settled on the JLC Master series, because I like watches to be descrete and elegant. However, my wrist is very slim (6.5 inches) and all
