So I got invited by the Boutique and the dress code was "Anything Red"

 
 By: foowy : May 30th, 2012-02:06
To go with the theme, I put on something red and something square as well. This was a day I was so looking forward to for a long time. I arrived much much earlier to avoid the nightmare traffic jam. The red floor sticker in the boutique is very nice and b...  

I'm seeing red!

Wow, what an opportunity, Gary! Thanks for sharing your visit to the Boutique. That blue Reverso looks awesome, too. Best, respo

The Blue was nice too

Didnt get to play with it as it was already in position in the display. Very hard to capture with my camera and there is reflections and lights everywhere. The best picture i have of it is this....  

Just been the the JLC boutique at MBS in Singapore and they say it would not be here till

great opportunity... looking forward to seeing the Rouge in person...

I have been told that two were delivered at the Paris Boutique, but immedialtely sold.

We'll have a Red Night in Paris, too... So, what about your feelings about the Vintage Red, compared to the Tribute Black? About the volumes, i mean? Best, Nicolas

Am always a classic kind of guy

Tho it is considered very small by today's standard, I liked the Rouge's small classic size very much. Thanks to my small wrist, it actually sits very nicely and I would imagine, its a watch you easily forget you are wearing. Much like my 34mm MUT. While ... 

Yes, Foowy, that is the amazing thing wwith The Original Rouge.

 
 By: amanico : May 30th, 2012-21:41
You totally forget the size... Which is not that small, by the way... To focus on the dial. Best, Nicolas

Here's a side profile picture of the Rouge

 
 By: foowy : May 30th, 2012-20:19
clicked the insert button too fast earlier. I think its balanced nicely between the thickness and the dimension in terms of the "wrist feel" as compared to the TT I would imagine if the vintages came as ultra thin and in its classic dimensions, it would f...  

You are absolutely right. The profile shot is a great idea.

 
 By: amanico : May 30th, 2012-21:44
The TT R looks much thinner, by the way, because of its bigger case. The original has a lot of character, I find. Thanks! Nicolas

Wow. That looks great!

Thanks for the pictures. A dream to own such a vintage watch and even to try it. You were very lucky

Indeed super lucky in a sense [nt]

Hello Gary! I can well understand both your dissapointing, and your ...

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 30th, 2012-14:40
... excitement at same time. Dissapointment at not finding the new Red, which you are anxious to see in the flesh, but excitement for having this one of a kind opportunity of viewing (and trying yourself) a genuine vintage example, which was used as base ... 

You are spot-on for the mixed feelings I had between dissappointment and excitement.

Abel Once again, we have to wait patiently This was at the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia boutique. Gary

Man, I missed this...

 
 By: dennis_yong : May 30th, 2012-19:21
Terry at the boutique had asked me to attend, but I had to be in Singapore on that day. Did they host a dinner at Shook? Think that was the initial plan. Gorgeous pics!

Seeing the vintages that close....I was already all Shook-ed up

 
 By: foowy : May 30th, 2012-20:31
Dennis Actually I skipped the dinner so I could avoid the traffic jam getting out of town : ) was already full-filled by the vintages. By the way, did you receive a separate JLC event invite for 3rd June? This is a bigger event with an actual polo game I ... 

Yep I did

 
 By: dennis_yong : May 31st, 2012-18:46
But i'll have to skip that one too as I'll be in Bangkok. I'm actually waiting for the Reverso Calendar to hit KL before blowing my 2012 budget on something else. Haha. Cheers, Dennis

thats a great choice too

 
 By: foowy : June 1st, 2012-03:49
and we shall all wait to see what is this other one you going to blow your money on

LOL. We'll see, we'll see.... [nt]
