[Omega or JLC] Moonphase watch (alien.top)

I tried on the Speedmaster at the boutique. It was a lot bigger and thicker than I expected (I have a 39mm reduced, purchased 20 years ago). I like the moonphase, a useless but very pretty, feature. I don't like light/thin watches (tried on a Cartier Santos Du Mont and it was too light/thin).

My wrist size is 16mm. If you have shopped these two watches (about same price), what are your thoughts?

I have the JLC on steel and absolutely love it. I have a Speedy Moonwatch and I love it, too, but for a moonphase the JLC is just more elegant for me. Both beautiful and a matter of opinion, obviously!

thank you for your feedback. You have two great watches! Do you find the JLC much lighter than your Speedmaster?

Maybe I will end up getting both...eventually!

I do find it wears a little lighter, though not as much on steel. In leather it wears quite a bit lighter. I love how my speedy fits, don’t get me wrong, but it is just a touch a bigger.
