Then there is this curious design decision:
Luminescent hour indices but with non-luminescent hands. Yes, I know it is a luxury piece of jewelry that we are unlikely to depend on in the dark, but still - sometimes the people in the design office drag things a little too far from actual usefulness.
Give me some of the candlestick hands from the US edition of the TT1931 and all sins will be forgiven.
A closer look on the GRUT 1931 Chocolate
Friends, Not long ago I had the chance to see the RG/Chocolate in real. When I first saw the press photo of this watch I was over the Moon! After seeing the watch in real I am still under its charm, no doubt about that. But Yes, there is a but here The ...
Thanks Blomman for these shots
I have not had a chance to see any of these new pieces from JLC. I bought the rouge and bleu sight unseen, banking on the photos of our various purists. I was not disappointed when they arrived to me from the boutique. I just got the chance to view some r...
Tough question, Joe...
I think it's a matter of taste... Are you a RG person? Do you already have a silver dial/sub-second Reverso? If you don't have a white/silver dialed Reverso, eventually you will miss it! On the other hand, will you ever get another shot of having a brown ...
Your assessment does make a lot of sense.. Choc dial nice.. Strap superb ! :)
<br> - I can just say, that this strap in middle brown Cordovan has a stunning look & feel<br> I've mounted it on my TTR 1931, and am totally happy with it <br><br> Overall, IMO the Choc dialled Reverso in PG is a nice ad-on to...
The blue would be a great companion for....
You and your Reverso's, my friend! :) Yes, the brown strap I must confess I really like, maybe I should order one. Wonder if it would go with the blue...? Best Blomman
I thing you're right on about the white around the indices
It may be there's not adequate contrast between the chocolate face and the gold indices on their own, but I'd love to see something without the white. I'm not convinced the minute track is thicker, but will look at the photos again later. It seems the whi...
The lines jump when you look close...
From a distance not that much, but still... IMO. Maybe I am sensitive, I had the same feeling about the TT Polaris 68 in the beginning... Not any more! Best Blomman
Hmmm... the white lines do look a bit pronounced in some pics. But I believe that...
...they will not bother me in real life once on wrist. Thank you for the live pics. They show some things that the PR shots don't. And I haven't seen this one in the real yet. Ruckdee
Hope you will see it soon, Ruckdee!
It is a beauty! Even with the white lines... ;) Best Blomman
I had not noticed
I had not noticed the white lines until you pointed them out, Blomman. But it seems not too distracting to me. Really, I have a hard time choosing among these growing variations on the GRUT 1931 Reverso + 1948 + Bleu Duo. JLC is not making things any easi...
That IS always the best solution! ;)
Na, seriously, I agree - it's hard to keep up with all the different versions that has been released since 2011. I find the Blue very handy since it has two great dials and the GMT function! :) Best Blomman
We are picky, very picky, my friend.
But you are right, some détails may not please us. That is why the " in the real " experience is so important. Though, I still think it is a piece full of charm. All the best, Nicolas
Yes, full of charm! :)
But of course, we SHOULD be very very picky! Who else will....? ;) Best, my friend Blomman

The watch in the dark so that didn't bother me, but it would if it was laying on my nightstand... Best Blomman
It's definitely tough to be in the luxury goods business...
as pleasure is either derailed or derived from the smallest details! imagine that almost-buy situation that just falls apart because of something like thick borderlines around the indices. i didn't notice it, btw, until you showed the pics. but then i won...
