Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar watch for a while now. I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s a beauty! But, you know, the price tag is… well, it’s up there. So, I started looking into getting a good imitation instead. After a good long think I made up my mind and bought one.
First off, I started digging around online, reading forums, checking out different replica sites, and just trying to get a feel for what’s out there. It’s a bit of a jungle, to be honest. So many options, and it’s hard to know who to trust. I found some guys talking about this specific model, saying it is a good choice and is NWBIG. I am not quite sure about that but I still want to have a try.
After comparing, I finally decided on a seller that seemed pretty legit. They had good reviews, and their website looked professional enough. The price was fair, not the cheapest, but not suspiciously low either. So, I reached out, asked a bunch of questions about the watch, the movement, the materials, all that stuff. They were pretty responsive and seemed to know their stuff, although I did find some differences between what they said and what I searched on Google. They told me the case is 40mm and 10.95mm thick, but what I found online is 39mm and 9.4mm thick. Anyway, I decided to trust them.
Then I placed my order. I chose the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar ’cause, well, it’s the one I wanted! It’s got that classic look, and I really dig the moon phase and the sub-seconds. Someone on the internet recommended the Master Ultra Thin Moon, I guess they are talking about the same watch. I paid through their website, fingers crossed the whole time. They had a few different payment options, which was nice. And then, the waiting game began.
A couple of weeks later, the package arrived! I opened it up like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was. It looked pretty darn good, I gotta say. The weight felt right, the details were sharp, and the strap felt decent too. But I noticed some details were still not the same as what it should be, so I guess there is still a long way for them to go.
- Setting it up was a bit tricky. The instructions weren’t super clear, but I managed to figure it out after some trial and error. Google helped a lot, lol.
- Once I got it going, it kept time pretty well. I mean, I’m no watch expert, but it seemed accurate enough for me.
- I wore it around for a few days, and honestly, it felt good on the wrist. Got a few compliments too, which was a nice bonus.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. It’s not the real deal, obviously, but it’s a solid imitation that gives me the look and feel I wanted without breaking the bank. Would I recommend it? Yeah, I think so. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect perfection. It’s a good way to get a taste of luxury without, you know, actually spending a fortune. And some people say that Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are a good investment, hope my watch can retain its value, lol.
