My very first Reverso

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 28th, 2021-20:45
I’ve had a difficult time sourcing one! But I finally found one, and I love it! Well worth the wait. I do have to thank Nico for this inspiration! Thank you! My first choice was the 1931 Rouge, but that’s just not even available. I’m happy to settle with ...  

Looks great. If this isn’t the 1931 rouge, then which model is this?

Please excuse my reverso model of ignorance

This is the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds (Burgundy).

 
 By: sirdavid : July 28th, 2021-21:29
The 1931 Rouge doesn't have seconds, and is a brighter red colour. It also has the word "Reverso" on the dial, rather than the applied "JL" logo of the Small Seconds.

Everything you said was correct, Tchela.

 
 By: sirdavid : July 29th, 2021-06:39
I was simply responding to Lanky's question. As a fellow 1931 Rouge admirer, and as a fellow Tribute Small Seconds owner, I have to say it looks great on your wrist and I'd agree with Amanico that its beauty grows even deeper as you watch it change under ... 

Oh thank you. This Reverso is surprisingly comfortable, which is really important for me.

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 29th, 2021-13:39
I love to learn more about the nuances of Reverso because I REALLY don’t know much about it! So thank you for that as well!

This should help…

It’s not a great picture, but the newer Tribute with small seconds is known as Burgundy. The other Tribute without small seconds is the Rouge. ...  

I believe all three Tribute Small Seconds models are part of the JLC Scarcity Programme.

 
 By: sirdavid : July 29th, 2021-06:55
In summer 2020 my local JLC Boutique had both the blue and the burgundy models in stock, available for immediate purchase. Now I am told there is a waiting list for all three variants. The JLC website continues to list all three colours, but none of them ... 

I am told the Burgundy is still in production.

 
 By: sirdavid : July 29th, 2021-08:37
However annual production numbers for all three models are pretty low, and it can be challenging to find them in stock.

I’m such a novice with these. I’m learning though!

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 28th, 2021-21:58
Thank you for the info! I love your two. I can now see why they actually are NOT redundant.

🙏🏿

Here is a side by side picture.

Slippery slope…

 
 By: ArmisT : July 28th, 2021-22:43
but I think it’s fair to say the burgundy does cover a range of red hues, and is overall a deeper and more engaging dial. The Rouge is more a flat red, but has its classic charm for sure.

true

+1.

 
 By: amanico : July 29th, 2021-05:38

Thank you! This is the tribute small seconds,

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 28th, 2021-21:56
Sorry I thought it was red, but I’ve been corrected and it’s burgundy.

Congratulations Tom, wise choice

 
 By: mahesh : July 28th, 2021-21:51
Sensual dial

Thank you!

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 28th, 2021-22:00

You are brave, congrats Tim....

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : July 28th, 2021-23:54
I'm too chicken to dip my toes into these Reversos....because I've seen collectors getting bitten and have to get all different colors.

Green, Blue, Yellow, Brown…I gave up already 😅

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : July 29th, 2021-03:03
You have better chance than me and can pull it off 👌🏻💪🏻👍🏻

How true! :)

 
 By: amanico : July 29th, 2021-06:01

Big congrats! Big love for this one!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 29th, 2021-00:18

Congrats! Pure class

 
 By: hl99 : July 29th, 2021-00:52
Welcome to the Reverso community…

Congrats. I just bought the Blue for my first

 
 By: hub6152 : July 29th, 2021-12:55
as I already have a burgundy dial watch, and green might just come to be associated with a year to forget (especially after the ridiculous amount paid for the green 5711).

Thank you! I’d like to add the other two eventually as well!

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 29th, 2021-13:46
(I’ve already forgotten about the 5711 green months ago when I was told it’s not happening! 😂)

Thank yu very much!

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 29th, 2021-20:34

Very nice Reverso ! Congrats !

 
 By: leopold : July 29th, 2021-21:32
I like it for the particular color of the dial .... ...  

Thanks, Justin! I’m really having a good time with it!

 
 By: Tchela1 : July 30th, 2021-20:50
I think I was inspired in part by your red FPJ strap! 😜

LOL, I am honored 🤣🤣💪👍
