I’ve had a difficult time sourcing one! But I finally found one, and I love it! Well worth the wait. I do have to thank Nico for this inspiration! Thank you!

My first choice was the 1931 Rouge, but that’s just not even available. I’m happy to settle with the monoface small seconds — so easy to set the time and wind it! Really excited to add this one for the beautiful dial along with its size, shape and ease of use!

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Looks great. If this isn’t the 1931 rouge, then which model is this?

Please excuse my reverso model of ignorance

This is the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds (Burgundy).

The 1931 Rouge doesn't have seconds, and is a brighter red colour. It also has the word "Reverso" on the dial, rather than the applied "JL" logo of the Small Seconds.

Thank you for the correction. It’s a beautiful burgundy!!!
