Jaeger LeCoultre Launches The Record Challenging Master Ultra-Thin Squelette Collection
Jaeger LeCoultre has just announced one of the thinnest, if not the thinnest, mechanical wristwatches ever made: the Master Ultra Thin Squelette. The watches in this family of timepieces are built around the well known ultra thin Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 849, known in this iteration as the 849SQ (squelette, or skeleton) and the movement itself remains 1.85 mm thick. The big news is however that the watch itself, overall, is only 3.6 mm thick, in the thinnest version. 1 OF 4 Several sharp eyed readers picked up on this when the press release went out, although Jaeger LeCoultre is sedulously avoiding making any world-record claims – however for comparison, we note that the Piaget Ultra-Thin 900P is overall 3.65 mm in height, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Jubilee (2014) is 4.05 mm in height, and the Vacheron Constantin Les Historiques 1955 is 4.13 mm in height (it is worth noting that the latter uses the VC caliber 1003, which is 1.64 mm thick as opposed to 1

My 5980 & Happy 2018 TRF Members!
A while back on a thread I was discussing with a fellow member about giving RB a shot at my 5980 because I love the watch so much but the leather doesn't work for me due to the humid places I travel to, I also love being on the water so leather is always a problem. Plus I hate taking this watch off at a hotel or any other place that is not home. The fit is perfect. I was hesitant for this specific watch. I have RB on my Daytona for fun but this is different. I have to say that don't regret the choice one bit. This 5980 will be getting a lot of wrist action on 2018 including the New Year's Eve party I will be going to in Miami! See you later freezing NYC! Also I want to wish all the members here a prosperous and healthy 2018 so we can continue the great conversations and enjoying our toys for many years to come!

Prices of 5167 Aquanauts
Hi everyone,Is the outlook on the prices of PP 5167 Aquanauts taking the direction of the 5711s? I bought one (bracelet full set and then bought the rubber strap and deployant) a while back for around 18k when prices looked around 19k online. Now they seem to be listed for 22-23k? I've heard waiting lists are now getting long as people give up on the 5711s.Received an offer of $21.25k earlier in the week, wondering if I should take the cash or hold on. I still love the aqua especially swapping between rubber and bracelet but it's received less wrist time especially on bracelet since I got the 5711 white.Personal opinion is the aquanaut is freaking awesome (on par with the 5711 in finishing, style etc).Thoughts?
