Just thought I would share this short tale with you all. I received a JLC Reverso Squadra Hometime in 18k gold for my 30th birthday last weekend. I started to research the watch and the model after I noticed that the second hand on the sub-dial was gold, ...  

I owned a Duometre in platinum which came withe the wrong dial... I was very happy with, too. Lucky guy! Best, Nicolas.

It's almost hard to believe that even at this level, "mistakes", if you can call that one, can be made. Great "mistake" though...lends to a new level of exclusivity where this is concerned. Congratulations is in order, I suppose Richard

Congrats on your birthday and a unique Reverso! Probably mistakenly put on yours from this one… The black version of the Squadra HT in PG has the sub second hand in PG. Best Blomman...  

Funny you said that as the AD reported back that JLC thought the dial from the black face was more than likely accidentally used instead. Ridiculous to think that it got past all those rigorous checks!?

Well, in the end watchmakers are human beings like you and me! We all do mistakes… But to me that is a good thing – because if there were machines putting or beloved watches together… Would we cherish them as high as we do now?! Best Blo... 

And I wouldn't mind owning your example or those ones with sterile dials. Mistakes, yes, but lovable in its own way unlike misalignment or scratches. Ruckdee

I love that combo, Bomman. Best, respo

What is really great is that JLC is going to confirm the mistake in writing. It was already a neat birthday gift, but this clearly makes it even better. Wear in good health. Regards, George

... first, congrats on your birthday and the present, very nice choice. it is interesting to hear such mistaken happened, but it is nice mistake, if i were you, i would also keep it instead exchange for other one! stefan

You only get to spend your 30th birthday once... It is only right that your gift us one of a kind!

...on owning a one of a kind JLC. I hope the person who assembled it still has a job! N

Someone in the 1000 hours test must have fallen asleep...
