Nicolas' observation is absolutely correct. I have had this one for 1½ years now and very fond of it. I really love how this watch is "quiet" and elegant one one side and almost explodes in depth and colour on the other.
Your picture reminds me that some of these RG Chronos were made with 36 jewels and others with 37 (or at least it says so on the chrono side). I have found out that there is not a clear cut in serial number where this change was introduced - the 36 and 37 jewel movements seem to be distributed in the series. But of course all watches from number 1 to 500 were most likely not produced in consecutive order and logically there should be a clear cut in the movement number.
I have not been able to find out where that extra jewel sits nor how many watches were made with 36 and 37 jewels though. A challenge for the year to come maybe?
Kind regards
Nikolaj

We still have a few weeks to wait before seeing the new Reversos in Geneva. To help us to wait, but laso to measure the popularity of what people use to call an " Iconic " watch, let's post some pictures of your Reverso(s). Are you in? I start: 1/ Reverso...

Nice to see this Reverso. I have growing more and more fond of this one. I do not have a moonphase watch and perhaps a Reverso like this would be the way to go... I really love the movement side of this one, too -- whimsical and beautiful at the same time...

Always have liked this particular One -- so Reverso, so versatile. And beautiful as well - nice pics, especially the macros, as well - (liked the red strap BTW.) Still one in my focus - but for this year, X-mas list pretty full, as it seems.. Best , HS
