JLC master control chronograph calendar impression

Hello,

Can someone who has experience owning this watch pls give your opinions of your experience so far? This is (one of) my grail watch for awhile but I got a chance to see it in the metal at a JLC store today and was very much underwhelmed. Perhaps it was due to the lighting or that I was in a bit of a rush but the watch does not look as impressive as the stock photos do. The chronograph buttons were not smooth and the blues(?) Chronograph hand was not as vividly blue as I was though it to be.

The most impressive thing about the watch to me was when I turned it over and examined the movement through the case back.

Someone, pls tell me I am wrong.

i have a master control calendar, a step below this- and I love it.  Fabulous watch.  Cant go wrong with JLC.  For me a JLC is a dress watch.  This one is too busy and looks too sporty for what a dress watch is

Like @Onlyicons I also have the Master Control Calender version.  Besides the price difference I didn’t get the Chronograph function on this type of watch. I also appreciate the clean look without the pushers and with the negative space on the dial. But the chronograph version is a looker too.

I just opened up Watch Crunch specifically to find out if anyone has any experience with this watch but you beat me to it by five hours so I‘ll just monitor the replies to your post. :-)

I have tried in this watch and have seen it several times. I love it but for me (as mentioned above) JLC is a dress watch and that is why I went for an older Master Control Calendar, which works perfectly and still looks stunning.
