they are all in stock, hurry up because I guess there are only few as usual due to raids.

Might be an unpopular opinion...a week in with this watch...not sure I like how thin/light it feels!! Used to heavy and big watches ever since my Gshock days ! It’s so beautiful to look at. Anyone else been in my very unique boat and if so, does a better strap reduce the light feeling? I know it’s a slim dinner dress type watch than a sports/diver watch which I’m used to but just wanted to know your faults. Also, the DW slightly misaligned but hopefully Adrian can fix this for me along with the noisy rotor.
I am somewhat in the same boat. I wouldn't say I don't like how thin or light it feels, but certainly it is way thinner and smaller than expected. My other watches aren't exceptionally large or chunky either, just that this watch is perhaps a bit too elegant, too thin for everyday wear. I also don't quite understand comments about the crap leather strap- sure it ain't the best, but I don't believe it's necessarily bad enough to warrant an immediate replacement, or have I been fortunate enough to receive a rather good strap? Anyway, I've got one on order from Ziczac, and I'll post further comparisons once I receive it.
So I just contacted intime to ask whether the jlc with silver dial and black strap was in stock. They said it was. However I do not know if I should go through with it since a lot of people in this post say that those are just models that have already been RL'ed. What do you guys think?
I dunno about that. I went to a jlc ad in dubai and tried the authentic one. No difference in feel with the strap or the watch. The only difference is the moonphase where the outline of the stars and moon are engraved. That's the only tell. Not the strap. Not anything else.The MUT is a dress watch, not designed for everyday use. Customarily, a dress watch should be a simple dial, thin case to slide extremely easy under your cuffs, and on a alligator strap.
The ZF leather strap is straight out dog shit, which looks plastic-like, and destroys any elegants the case has.
Exactly why i think jlc released this one. Bcoz zf made their moonphase almost NWBIGWOW!
but no way ZF will be able to make an accurate date wheel.
With the SIHH 2019 only a month away, brands are pre-releasing selected models to whet our appetite. Among them is Jaeger-LeCoultre, which has unveiled a superb new version of one of its classics. Meet the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Moon Enamel, a showcase for the artistic crafts of the Grande Maison.
It features a hand guilloché sunray pattern with straight lines traced from the centre of the dial. A blue, translucent enamel layer is then applied on its surface to bestow an intense depth and lustre to the engraved motif.
The dial is manufactured in-house and is a testament to the mastery Jaeger-LeCoultre has achieved in traditional crafts (or métiers rares).
It is made of several parts that are then assembled together and welded to create the final dial. Naturally, this adds complexity as the counter or mainplate of the dial are independently decorated with hand-guilloché and their motifs have to match each other perfectly. The outer part framing the dial is made separately too.
The date ring framing the moon phase indication is delicately engraved. The applied hour markers (another meticulous manufacturing step) are slightly thinner and more elongated than for the regular Jaeger-LeCoultre Master models.
The white gold case is 39mm in diameter and a tad thicker than the standard Master Ultra-Thin Moon (10.04mm versus 9.9mm, mainly due to the new dial). It houses an updated movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 925/2. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this automatic movement offers a 70-hour power reserve – a great improvement compared to the previous calibre 925/1 found in other Master Ultra-Thin Moon watches, which offered 43 hours of power reserve.
