Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Blue vs. Burgundy

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Reverso Tribute Duo is larger (47.8 x 28.3 x 10.3 mm) and features a slightly different dial layout compared to the Tribute Small Seconds, which has a marginally larger small seconds subdial.
• While the blue dial is a terrific watch, the burgundy offers more originality, as there are many blue-dialed watches currently available. However, some collectors, being 'blue watch guys,' would not trade their blue for the red.
• Some collectors find the silver dial markers too shiny, resembling diamonds, which may not suit all personalities. Additionally, the matching colored straps are sometimes considered 'too much,' with suggestions for black or brown straps instead.
• The burgundy dial offers variety and could 'pop' with contrasting straps, but the blue is exceptionally well-executed despite the abundance of blue watches in the market. A green dial option, if available, would also be a strong contender.
• Under certain lighting conditions, the blue dial can appear purple, which might not appeal to all tastes, making the burgundy a more consistent choice for some.
• The blue dial shown in the original post appears different from other examples, raising questions about potential variations in blue dials for the model.
