Friends,
Not long ago I had the chance to see the RG/Chocolate in real.
When I first saw the press photo of this watch I was over the Moon!
After seeing the watch in real I am still under its charm, no doubt about that. But… Yes, there is a but here…
The fact that it has a sub-second do not bother me, I am used to that from other Reverso’s…
The fact that there is no logo on the dial, no problem…
The fact that the Rose Gold case has the same dimensions as the Red, na, that’s not it….
The fact that “Reverso” is located above the sub-second, I can live with that…
But, what do bother me is the thickness of the white minute track and even more the white lines around the indexes!
IMO, the white lines are too thick. Not sure if it is because of the dark background…. But they feel much more pronounced than on the Blue or the Red.
What I think is much better is the strap. The leather quality is much higher than on the black strap that came with the Blue from the same strap maker. Not sure if it is only on the straps I saw or different quality depending on color of the leather…
I wouldn’t say that the white lines are a deal breaker for me, but I was not as stunned by this piece as I thought I would be.
But then again, once on the wrist – Eh, what white lines…?
Best
Blomman
