Love the blue color and the texture on the white face. Never was a big Reverso fan, but this changes matters completely!
Cheers,

I've fallen for the JLC Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Duoface!
By: AnthonyTsai : February 6th, 2016-12:12
I went to the JLC South Coast Plaza Boutique Chinese New Year celebration party this past Thursday. They setup an exhibition outside their store right in front of the escalators which is a perfect space for maximum traffic. It's a simple exhibition with 3...
Aaah, Anthony, you are on a slippery slope.

I prefer the Tribute Duo, to tell you all. But the Tribute Calendar is something. Still, Tribute Duo for me. It is really mesmerizing. And the size is perfect for my taste. Best, Nicolas
Hehe yup this is a dangerous path!

First was the Extreme Lab 2, and now possibly a Reverso. I'm still leaning towards the larger black one because it's also almost $3k cheaper too. And I like the look of the side pusher button too. These JLC events are dangerous! Cheers, Anthony
My vote goes for the older model Duo rather than the new one.

a. The older case proportions are more pleasing to my eyes, and the longer case looks great on your wrist. b. The “night” side of the older model is nicely lumed, which can be very handy. I don’t see any lume at all on the hands of the new version. c. The...
I understand all your points, Ano. Pero...

There is one thing which pleases me a lot, on the Tribute Duo... The courage, the guts to go for a smaller case. Which is against the marketing rules, and THAt, my friend, is a strong point for the latest, at least from my point of view. Best, nicolas
Very true.

Courage here, yes, but unfortunate for some as it\'s too small for certain wrists IMO. I\'m in love with this blue dial, so the size hurts. For sure, not all watches are made in the right size for all wrists...that\'s just a fact of life. Still I\'m a bit...
Ahhh, understood, Nico.

As admirers of JLC, we are lucky indeed that la Grande Maison has both the financial resources and the intelligence to provide various models to meet its customers’ various preferences, n’est-ce pas, mon ami? And speaking of preferences, THIS admirer pref...
Tribute Duo looks good
By: jml_watches : February 6th, 2016-15:27
Hi Like the look of the new tribute. Do you have a shot of the time setting system. I know there's the current version with the button. and the first version had the pusher that you needed a cocktail stick to set. It'd be good to see the new setting syste...
The new blue dial is nice!

But I prefer the more elegant sword hands of the older version The new Tribute\'s hands seem too thick for my liking for now. I may change my mind once I see it in the metal The size of the new version is more elegant IMHO Cheers Robin
Definitely the blue, if the size works for you
By: vitalsigns : February 6th, 2016-21:15
Love the grained dial and the blue indices on the main dial, and the beautiful guilloche on the reverse. In truth, however, both look very good on your wrist. Cheers, John

is closer to the Grande Taille case that the original Duoface launched in. Nice. I must say, from your pictures, the front grained dial of the Tribute is AWESOME! -Dean
