Man, I’ve been eyeing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar for a while now. I finally decided to get a imitation one from those specialty stores, and let me tell you, the whole process was quite an experience.
First off, I started by hitting up those stores, you know, the ones that have all sorts of imitation watches. It took some digging, but I eventually found one that had the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It wasn’t easy, had to check a few places before I found it.
Once I found the watch, I gave it a good once-over. This thing is 39mm in diameter and just 9.4mm thick. I also measured the lug-to-lug, and it came out to be around 45.7mm. It’s a nice size, not too big, not too small, fits just right on my wrist.
Then, I started comparing it to the real deal, you know, the authentic Jaeger-LeCoultre. I looked at pictures online, read some reviews, and even watched some videos. It’s kind of a hobby of mine. The imitation version, it’s pretty darn close. I know that they change some things like materials and dials. But this one, the dial layout, the hands, the indices, they all looked spot on. The one I got looks almost exactly like the real thing.
After I was satisfied with the look of the watch, I decided to pull the trigger and bought it. The price was pretty good, compared to the original. Some people say these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches hold their value like gold, but this imitation one, well, it’s way more affordable. I like this one, it has a clean layout, without any clutter.
Now that I have the watch, I’ve been wearing it around, showing it off to my friends. Most of them can’t even tell it’s not the real thing. It’s been fun seeing their reactions. I had to choose between the Master Control and the Master Ultra Thin. But I ended up picking the MUT because it’s a little more refined. It has that classic look. I even like that it has a moon phase, which makes it look cool.
- Took me a while to find the right store.
- Checked the size, 39mm diameter, 9.4mm thick, 45.7mm lug-to-lug.
- Compared it to the original, looks almost identical.
- Got it for a good price, much cheaper than the real one.
- Been wearing it around, and it’s a hit with my friends.
So yeah, that’s my story of getting an imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It was a bit of a journey, but I’m happy with the watch. It looks great, feels good on the wrist, and didn’t break the bank. What more could you ask for?
