I tried on the Speedmaster at the boutique. It was a lot bigger and thicker than I expected (I have a 39mm reduced, purchased 20 years ago). I like the moonphase, a useless but very pretty, feature. I don’t like light/thin watches (tried on a Cartier Santos Du Mont and it was too light/thin).
My wrist size is 16mm. If you have shopped these two watches (about same price), what are your thoughts?
How did you like the thickness and weight on the JLC? It’s much thinner and lighter than a Speedmaster.
I have both a Speedy moon phase and a JLC MUT moon. They’re both wonderful watches but to me quite different. The JLC to my taste is a dress watch and much more elegant. The Speedy is a sports watch and better suited to daily wear. I think on smaller wrists the Speedy probably wears better on a strap.
