    JLC and BP.JPG Just received this JLC MM from a friendly forum member, and took a pic with a piece with a similar feel and the same complications. Sometimes it seems that the triple date moonphase watches are underappreciated with all the attention given to chronographs, but they are special (at least to me and some others here). I have missed out on a couple of vintage pieces in this area but the hunt continues. What do you guys have?

    My next purchase will be the silver dial version of your jlc. I've lusted over that piece for 3 years now. She will be mine!
    Beautiful couple btw !

    Some very elegant pieces. I just got the JLC catalogue in the mail today. I'm starting to want one of my own.

    I've never Blancpain in person, but I'd love to!

    Nice watches, congrats! :thumbsup:
    Here's my Astrolux with moonphase, day, date, month complications.
    I know it can't compete in any way with your watches. But I love it! And it looks worse on the picture than it actually looks like if you see it in person.

    Really cool. How does it run?

    It ran really well until I ::censored:: dropped it a couple of weeks ago. As it fell on concrete, the lume of the minute hand fell out which now blocks the movement (stuck between the minute and hour hand).
    I decided not to use it anymore until I get it serviced. Which will be soon, after my more valuable watches got one.
    I still don't understand how it could slip through my hands while winding it... ::facepalm1::

    Sad :(
    I always wind my pieces over my bed, at least a soft landing awaits if the dreaded event occurs.
