Lifting the embargo on a recent acquisition

Time to quickly show some of my shots of an important addition to my collection. A watch that is well-known to this forum and has been in the possession by other members in the past. I feel very honoured that I was given the opportunity to give a new home...  

Ahaaa!!!

Wow So you start to diversify Nice splendid catch but I thought it was GO Cheers D

Thanks, my friend

Diversity is still a bit of a strong word, GP is still the over-powering force in my collection and will be in the future But having the chance of getting this historic piece was impossible to resist. Don't understand your point about "GO"? Best, CC

Sorry...my bad

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : February 16th, 2017-03:49
It should have been GP...finger slip I was sure that "he" was bringing you GP not JLC

Ah, understood

Muahahaha----

Beautiful watch. From what year this Reverso?

Thanks Ronald, I think

 
 By: crown comfort : February 16th, 2017-06:48
this could be a watch also for your liking From around 1937, maybe '38. CC

The older the better my friend

Thanks a lot, my friend, true the strap is a great match

but could also work with black for example.

Aahhh.. Finally I got to see it in her new home !.. This is a great piece, a piece of iconic DNA.. And also a piece of friendship !

What a beauty! When people talk about vintage JLCs, there are the vintage ones and the Reversos... a different world. Well done! All the best, and keep sharing please! É

Thank you, E. Reverso has so much DNA of JLC

 
 By: crown comfort : February 16th, 2017-12:06
but I think the Divers, like DSA and Polaris are equally if not more desirable.

Well, if cheating Gp looks like this then you should not have any bad consciousness

Congrats to a very characterful JL!

Thanks Moritz, I like
