Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge vs. Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 Hello all, I was hoping you could help me out. I have wanted a Reverso for many years and have narrowed things down to the to Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge or Grande Reverso Ultra Thin T...

That is THE question which should help you in your decision. Not the rarity of the one or the other... Yes, I know the production numbers of the red approximatively. But that doesn't count, at the moment of your decision. Would you wear a watch just becau... 

Well...

Both are great but IMO it's classic (TT1931) vs bold (Rouge). So depending on your style, are you looking for something simple and discreet or do you like the striking color of the red? Of course another option is to get both! ;) Good luck with your decis...

Sounds like red will be the right choice! :) Part of the fun is doing the research and deciding, have fun! -MW

The black matches almost any clothes and dressing style. The red requires more considerations with dressing (my wife "screams" when I don't match clothes). Cheers, Nilo

I have never been too hung up on the whole...

... matching a watch to an outfit thing, but it is a valid point, I appreciate you bringing it up.

Another consideration...

...the hands of the black are lumed, while those on the rouge are not. whatever this may subtract from elegance, it makes up in practicality.

.....go with which one makes your day when you put it on your wrist. There would be nothing worse than going for rarity only to find that when you look at the watch, you regret not going for the other one!! I had the same decision as you, but what I wante...
