Crappy pics
I apologise, apparently I'm not yet fully rested, and my camera was at its max ISO, which makes things really grainy. In any case, here is a pic of the new Sun Moon reverso in the flesh
What I like about it:
1. Love the dial patterns, I think I like the grid pattern on this better than the wavy-lines of the other XGT reversos:
and I love the little details in the patterning of the moonphase display
2. I like the moon phase, alot...really alot. I'm glad they kept the traditional moonphase shape cutout and I like the bright gold moon.
3. I also really like the combination of the hand styles, between the second-dial and the hour/min hand
What I don't like:
1. Deployant. It feels 'cheap' or more accurately insecure and unsubstantial. I know many people don't like the older, single-fold JLC buckles, and it meant that there were probably 25 buckle SKUs for JLC to keep on hand, but they really could have done better than this.
2. PR display. somehow I wish they had kept with the contrasts-idea(decorative face and moonphase, hard, angular numerals and hour/min hand] and gone with a PR more like the reverso Grand Date[above]
