Description: JLC 140.3.98 Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/8S4paf-iong?feature=share For sale is a rare white gold JLC triple calendar moon phase, reference 140.3.98 with gray dial. Not much I can add to the pictures on this watch, it’s just an absolute beauty. The gold on this is a “grey gold”, i.e. a non-plated alloy, so it will not wear or require re-plating ever. The case features a hinged hunter caseback that can be opened to view the highly finished movement with its 21ct gold rotor. Case width is 37mm, unlike the later versions of this watch which are 39mm, and is in my opinion a much more well-proportioned size. Lug to lug length is 43mm and lug width is 19mm. It has quite a lot of wrist presence due to the relatively large dial and the way the hunter caseback serves to slightly lift the watch on the wrist. Wrist shot of the watch is of it on my ~6.75” wrist. This is a substantial piece, the watch with strap and deployant is 100g and it feels great on the wrist. It comes on an OEM JLC crocodile strap with curved end links that shows virtually no signs of wear, and includes a butterfly-style JLC 18k white gold deployant clasp. Case is in good condition, with the only really notable mark being on the bottom of the bezel. Movement is in great running order per timegrapher, and all of the functions operate as they should including the quickset pushers. I have been selling watches online for over 10 years, first as mmcmhn on Watchuseek forums and more recently as u/mattmcmhn on Reddit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
