Pair of Tributes...
Hello all:
Well, Seth at the Boutique (before he left) had ordered the short strap for my wife and it took 4 weeks for it to be delivered.
Finally, we were able to get some wrist shots of the Reverso 1931 on the "better half." I think the Reverso is perfectly sized for a man or lady and suits my wife nicely IMHO.
I managed to borrow a DSA US Edition from a local WIS for a test drive and I have to say, I am in love and it will be hard to return the DSA back to the owner.
From the photos, the pair of tributes goes together perfectly. I love the retro understated style of both and the tropical strap on the DSA fit me to a tee.
I am thinking hard about which piece to move within my collection to make room for this DSA. Guess I need to make up my mind fast as they are quickly disappearing.
Thanks again to Seth Baert for all your service and friendship in the past and good luck in your future endeavors. We will miss you!
Yes, this piece will be yours in due time.
Thanks for watching!

Great photos, Phil!
Both Tributes look wonderful on each other! A perfect pair, and one which you could easily swap everynow and then. Hopefully you will be able to add the US DSA to your collection. All the best to you and your family, Alex
Thanks Alex!
Hope all is well with you as well and that things are going well on the home front my friend. These two pieces are pretty special indeed... The Reverso is understated class... I am so trying to decide on how to rearrange my collection... Take care my frie...
That's what I'm talking about!
I was thinking about doing a post on a similar theme, but with a slightly different pair of JLC tributes, and with far inferior photography. Your photos are really beautiful. Mine would not be. :-( So, those are two amazing watches. Nice to see another TT...
You are too kind..
Respo! I have seen your past wristshots...WOW! Anyhow, I figured I better take some photos before i had to return the piece and I didn't realize how nice these two would look together... Thanks for visiting!
Both compliment each other very well...
Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Few words of caution to your wife.. Don't get into a pool with that solitair, otherwise she will find it dificult to stay afloat. Best Ed This message has been edited by Edward Lee on 2011-10-12 19:27:57
Thanks for the tip..I will remind the other half..
and thank you for your kind words... Ying and yang?
I really enjoy these 'his and hers' pairings
And these two look great together. Thanks for the photos and hope you can find space in your collection for a US-DSA. Andrew
thank you Andrew...
actually..my original plan earlier this year was to pick up the DSA and the Reverso for the wife..but in typical WIS life..some other piece came into the picture... Now I really need to decide... thanks for visiting
Thank you!
believe me..the wife was annoyed when I wanted her to pose for the wristshot..but her story changed after seeing the photos... thanks for the kind words..
Both the DSA and 1931
Great photos Phil. The DSA is very tempting, of the two versions I like the European one better. And sad to hear Seth is no longer with the JLC BH boutique. He will be missed. Regards, ED-209
thanks ED209..
I have gotten to know Seth pretty well in the past year and I am sad to see him go. With Jim, I am sure BHB is in good hands. Is the Euro version on your radar? Hope to see you and the Mrs. soon!
Your 3rd and 4 th pics are awesome, Phil.
What a Duo! This is something I had in mind, but was never able to take the pciture of both of them. I even wanted to to go further, and take a " Tribute Family " picture: TTP 65 / 68 + TT DSA US and Europe + TT R 31 SS and RG. I just don't have the watch...
Thank you Nico!
My wife kept on rolling her eyes when I asked her to hold still. What a picture that would be..the Tribute family! Looking foward to it! Thank you my friend!
Thank you DJE!
Your comment reminds me of Ice Dancing. Such emotions in cold setting. Who would have thought that two stainless steel pieces would invoke such romantic feelings? Thank you!
re: Pair of Tributes...
Fantastic duo. The TR 1931 looks great on your wifes wrist too. I just ordered one today and can't think of anything but getting it! I look forward to seeing your 'I got a DSA post' By the way, if anyone in Aus is looking for a DSA, one of the ADs in Melb...
Congrats in advance!
Amanda, you will find that the Reverso is just perfect for all your needs in a piece. I am slowly creeping toward that DSA post...
Very tough..
Thank you Alec! I am so torn! And I am afraid to spend extended time with it! LOL!
Wonderful pics, Phil!
Man, you really stepped in it, borrowing your friend's watch like that -- I don't know how you're gonna manage to live without the DSA now... As for Seth, he will definitely be missed, but doubtless good things are in store for him. In the meantime, Jim i...
ADAM! You are killing me!
I drooled over the Grey and the Black NSAs...but passed for the DSA. But I had a hard time! see here: jlc.watchprosite.com Thanks for your kind words!
Damn nice Trio, Adam. I'm impressed.
I didn't get it, but Seth is leaving the BH Boutique? If yes, that will be some very bad news for all the US JLC lovers. Best, Nicolas.
Thanks, Nico!
The funny thing is that I didn't plan it this way, I just happened to fall in love with each watch as it was introduced, and -- boom -- now I have a trio of US edition JLCs. Life is strange like that. As for Seth, there is no question that he will be miss...
Soon I hopento be able to take a similar picture.
Just need to get the DSA! Best regards, George
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, George...
The DSA tributes are amazing watches; JLC should be commended on the job they did bringing this seminal diver from their past back to life. So, when does it land (American dial, right)? Regards, Adam This message has been edited by craniotes on 2011-10-15...
It's the American dial
and it has already arrived, I just have to go pick it up at the JLC boutique and I just have not had time because of my work load. So I will be getting it very soon. Best regards, George
Seth is gone?
He really will be missed. I am going to be a little uncouth here and say Jim may be a good man, but he reminds me of a know-nothing at Tourneau... I did not take a shine to him at all. I once brought my Simplicity in the boutique to show Seth... Jim takes...
Great photos,nice hands and slender fingers
Phil.How did you mange to take these excellent photos ? ( remote control and tripod ?) . The US DSA fits you like a glove. Truly, you need to get it IMHO ( and the many pannies in the pipeline ? ) . Do submit the photos for wristscan this friday for stati...
Thank you dreamer8!
My wife thanks you for the compliments! Yeah, the DSA is calling me pretty loudly. Thanks again!
Thank you DownUnder..
hope all is well Michael! warming up in your neck of the woods!
The DSA is to die for.
After trying it I do not know how you are ever going to learn to lobe without it. Nice shot of your daughter. The best one from my perspective. Best regards, George
Thank you George!
Hopefully the kid will gain a bit of appreciation of watches in a few years time... Thank you for the kind words and yes, its terribly hard to let the DSA go.
very nicely captured...
... TT1931 looks great on female wrist too. great shots with warm and sweet feeling. love them all! stefan
Awesome pair, Phil!
Great photos of a great pair! Thank you for sharing! Best Blomman
Thank you Blomman! It's...
Thank you Blomman! It's not a pair yet! I need to move a piece to add this DSA!
Aww thats just adorable!
The child i mean! And great pair watches you have there Phil! Thanks for sharing and i hope all is well at your end! Stephen
Merci Stephen! Thanks for dropping...
Merci Stephen! Thanks for dropping by and your kind words!
Thank you playtime..
sad thing is, I just hope they are willing to wear a watch in 20 years time and not have this piece in the safe deposit box..
