2 Reversos in 2 weeks
Last week, I was fortunate to find a Reverso Duoface Bleu and immediately committed to it.
This week, I was fortunate to find a TT1931 US edition (2011), and immediately committed to it.
So right now, I have a nice pair of Reversos.
But really, it's more like a trio of White Blue and Black
My wife was set on making me sell one of the two. But once the US TT1931 arrived, she proposed an alternative - that I can keep the watch, if it's hers=) So now we each have a Reverso.

The only victims are my bank account and my dutiful Master Grande Taille=(
These two weeks have been sublime otherwise.

Nicely done! Two modern classics in the making.
Sounds economically dangerous for you to stray too close to any JLC dealer at the moment. Enjoy your Reversos. Cheers, John
Congratulations, Peter!
Judging by the nearly black strap on the US Edition, you acquired the 2011 release, which was the first year that watch was available. Quite the coup! Those are two beautiful watches. Are you now on the hunt for the Rouge, the Chocolate, and/or the 1948? ...
Thanks John, Ano, and ED
Gotta catch them all =) I'm kidding, of course. Before first committing to the Bleu, I was really torn between that and the US TT1931. But since both are so limited, I jumped on whichever that came on the market first. I didn't expect that both would be a...
Congrats! And congrats to your wife for playing you so well;) [nt]
Those are both sublime pieces. The TT1931 in black has to be experienced. I've only seen the blue in pictures, but hope one day to see it in the metal. The photos have convinced me.
Your pleasure is more important than your bank account. We only live once!
Very well played. Now, you have a great duo. Huge congratulations. Nicolas
Beautiful pair you have Peter!
And big congrats! I have the blue but not the black 1931 and yours is the LE! : Enjoy in the best of health! Great pics btw thanks for sharing! Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin, Nicolas, Watchthatman
@ Robin: You have a marvelous collection of Reversos. I admire your Rogue and 1948 greatly - as well as your Patrimony Small Seconds ;) @ Nicolas: Yessir! happy&broke > sad&rich
Thank you Peter
For your kind words Glad you like my sharing of those watches Cheers Robin
You asking Peter or me? ;)
Other than spreading watch poison, it seems the Vlad also has the gift of prophecy ! :p Cheers Robin
That's too adventurous!
But yes, there is a particular round shaped watch I have in mind =). However, I would like to take a break from watch shopping to give the two Reversos some undivided attention. Unless, of course, that round shaped watch comes on the market this week; the...
A well-chosen pair
The Bleu Duoface is sublime, and the US TTR1931 is just unbelievably beautiful! Congrats!
congrats on the pair..
I have always loved the duo blue.. and my wife also wears the TT1931US as her daily... enjoy the Reversos..they are great pieces...
Thanks everyone!
@NT: thanks very much for your support here, as well as over at OF! @ocwatching: I love those pics of your and your wife's JLCs. I've always wanted to take a picture like that, but they always turn out awkward. Your pics look very natural. Well done!
Congratulation!
nice pace ;o) You read my mind, now I don't need to guess/ imagine how the Bleu looks with the brown Fagliano ;o) well done! I'm expecting my delivery later this summer, these are very rare birds! Enjoy wearing them Ambos
Looks good in Alligator as well!
Hi Ambos, At my wife's request, I gave my brown Fagliano to her, so I put on the dark blue alligator on the Bleu. I think that looks great also. Without a doubt, the TT1931 really stands out with the brown Fagliano. There is something about the patina and...
I think this pairing is perfect!
For me I do prefer my Blue with my black gator strap too for some reason The 1931 usa edition with the brown casa strap is an awesome combination!! Cheers Robin
Same thought!
well done, i think i prefer your dark blue alligator over a black strap... Blue combined with black is always a thin line to walk for me! In whatever combination, you got a great pair there!
Lume shot and wrist shot
Hi all, I realized that there aren't many lume shots of these two models. So I made an attempt at it Cheers ...
What a great pair!
At least you'll still have the other close-by, albeit on another wrist.
