Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute to Reverso 1931: Black Or Red, or?
No, no, it is not the title of Stendhal's book, it is a dififcult question about tasts, colors, prfrences... When I see them, I must admit a certain trouble: The Black goes everywhere, very easy to wear. The Red pops out, in a spectacular way, but is mu...
How about
all of them :) It would be so cool to have all colours If only one then Red Best D
Three times
Three times I have walked into the JLC boutique with the intention to buy the Rouge, but every time, I try it on and decide it is not for me. Maybe rose gold works better with my Eurasian skin tone. I am fixed on the Chocolate now and am pretty sure this ...
Your mind is pretty clear, on those TT R!
Does that mean that you are consiering getting the Blue, too? Best, Nicolas
LOL! I knew it! ;)
OK, my friend - now I know your tell... You can't hide from me anymore! ;) Best Blomman
Indeed.. Not that easy.. But here as per your request.. ;)
Decision path 1 - the Rational approach : .. The facts: as I am already having the black TT 1931, - and already also having a white/ black duo face ( b/ wt) from 1983, (and another Calendar Double Date plus the Reverso Gd. GMT) - my Kudos for myself would...
Blue for me...
I love the shade of blue on this piece and the reverse side as well. Dave
As usual, it depends.
Both are gorgeous (the chocolate is nice, but not as much as the black and red imo, and I'm really not a big fan of the blue one). My view is that if you already have a Reverso, a classical one, then the Red is spectacular and what you want. But if, which...
Welcome here, Shaftel! And thanks for your well advocated feedback!
The black is more " passe partout ", indeed. Best, Nicolas
Only one? That would be like a camel with only one hump...!
Why be a dromedary! ;) You know my answer already.... But IF I was forced to only pic one... You know my love for blue dials... Best Blomman ...
Ditto to Blomman's response
It is how I feel and what I own too! But my first Reverso was the Cienceros, so black was really first. But it is the larger case, so it does not count. I find the blue to be more versatile and it is just something in the light. Easy flip for an outstandi...
I knew it... You can't, you, my greedy friend, go for only one.
And somewhat, I feel you are right... THere may well be some place for a 3rd one, knowing you as I know you. ;) Best, Nicolas
You know me so well, my friend...! ;)
Yes, there might be room for another Reverso - or actually several...! ;) But, let's put a pin in that for now since I am working a post on the topic. Best Blomman
no we cannot stick to only one you have to choose
either: the steel Black & Red or the WG blue enamel dialed one case closed.
Blue
If I had to pick only ONE, and if I had no other Reverso, I would go for the blue for 2 reasons: great blue dial, and a "second" watch when you flip the dial. This is why my first Reverso was a Grande GMT (over a Grande Date): two different dials, so diff...
Blue is it
Nicolas, that is a tough question indeed. But if I have to opt for one, and if it was not for everyday occasions, I would go for the blue one. Considering my nick, not too surprising, is it? :-) Since JLC shows quite some creativity with colors, why not s...
That makes sense, Abdullah. ;)
As for the Reverso AM, JLC made one, it was not warmly welcomed to say the least. Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nico. There is more urgency with....
The GRUT Duo boutique blue dial version because it has been discontinued . Cheers, dreamer
Red is hard to beat
I had a look at black for some times, but it does not get to me. Somehow it is missing something. The blue is great, but I think the second dial add too much of thickness and disturbes the finely balanced proportions of the Ultra Thin Reverso. The Chocola...
I could verify that by myself when we met in Paris.
It is much more polyvalent than we initially think. But its coolness is is major asset, I think. Thanks for your owner's feedback, my friend. Nicolas
I am visiting the JLC boutique tomorrow to see various JLCs!
Nicolas your post is timely. I am seriously planning for a jlc as my next watch (maybe soon... maybe later this year depending on how much I need to save) :) From your pics, I am surprised by myself that I actually like the cool factor and charm of the re...
You will see that the red nuance is quite captivating. Between the dressy and the cool.
Please keep us updated! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
May I propose another option?
How about this mysterious piece... yet to be displayed on the JLC website! Kamy ...
It depends
If you own no reverso then I would say the black one. If you own a reverso already then I would say go for red. Although that white gold with the grained dial is might tempting too! Great pictures- thank you for sharing. Edmond
I've always liked...
I've always favored black dials but I have to say the red and blue are cool. -MW
I do believe you missed one...
...the TT31 Reverso US Edition...in black of course. ...
