JLC's older Master Moon almost qualifies as vintage ,doesn't it? 馃槈
Such a great execution of the triple date moonphase. Certainly up there as on of my favorite "modern" interpretations of this design.

I agree, but it would have been better IMO with a plexi/acrylic crystal instead of sapphire. It's not going in the water in any case!

I was VERY selective about the only moonphase / calendar watch I ever owned. I looked at quite a few brands, even JLC with the NYC crew (LouS, Wetworks, David whose screen name here I forget, etc) at the Timekeepers Show a few years back. The one I finally settled on was the Chronoswiss.



....and of course I ended up selling it because that's what I do. 馃う It's one of the few I wouldn't mind having back.

Dang, that really is a beauty.

I can't imagine the insanity of ever selling a watch that beautiful... were you bloody drunk?!?

Please, PLEASE 馃榾, let me know if/when you run out of room in the box and need to let one or two go... all of them look to be in excellent condition 馃憤...

Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to see a close-up of the triple-date, thin rose-gold bezeled one, second one from left in the top row...馃グ

I've recently fallen for vintage TDMs too. Movement-wise I'm after a self-winding Felsa Bidynator cal. 693. They came in several jewel counts from 17 through 25. They can be found in several brands but I gravitate toward the Breitlings and the Vulcains, though the Breitlings seem to be pricey.

I recently bought this Hyde Park manual TDM for my mom. I don't know much about it but I love the numerals.

it is ETA 1100 movement, anyway the layout of the moonphase watch is quite similar, the only way you know is the position of the pushers can find it out.

Not a chrono, but... This Trematic TDMP was sometimes branded "Keystone." Most of the examples on the market are NOS or nearly so. I don't know if these watches were ever marketed... I suspect someone came across a cache of unsold watches in a warehouse somewhere. Stainless steel, 37mm. Felsa Bidynator cal 693. Can sometimes be had around $500.

Oh, now I see, it's the Movado you posted here:

sometimes you may have luck to search the treasure in ebay, and all the good stuff is by chance!

i bought three Movado with 2 years, the left one cost around US350, the right Tiffany Movado is about the same, what the hell the middle one, all original included the strap and buckle just for 800 euro, all come in excellent conditions and original dial!

ok no problem, but it is no moonphase, just triple date, using cal.475.
Yes, thanks, the thin bezel gives it an especially nice larger appearance... love the tall hour numbers, too; a beauty!
