I didnt get the blue tribute small seconds because I have too many blue dial watches.
The burgundy is less easy to match my typical clothes colours.
So the olive green it is

New Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Green
By: jrwong23 : April 7th, 2021-13:47
Just tried this at a JLC boutique event in Singapore followed by a small group JLC collectors' dinner. The green is very very nice ! Some quick live pics. I think if paired with a brown, grey or black strap it will look even better ! Green dial with green...

Not yet my friend

Boutiques have priority. The watch is a demo unit. We could only pay deposits not buy yesterday But will be in soon. Stay tuned.
Thanks for posting, Robin.

Great to see a wrist shot. I think you're spot on. I'd love to see it on a tan/brown strap, with beige chinos. I sense it has more of a country squire vibe than a city gent?

You guys in Singapore are so lucky!

I was invited to a JLC dinner and presentation last night but we were only treated to a video with no physical watches present.
lol :P

Very soon you can see them
Is it a dark olive green, Robin?

Or a chameleon green, depending upon the lighting? The photos on the web vary quite a bit. A.N.
It's more dark olive green
By: jrwong23 : April 7th, 2021-19:02
But it can reflect under intense light to look brighter of course. Natural look is dark olive green. As I age maybe I am less accurate though. My kids tend to say they see lighter colors when I feel it's darker. Caveat on eyesight here lol
I am with you on that

This just looks wrong.
By: Horo_Traveler : April 8th, 2021-23:37
Sorry in advance if this come across as too strong, but it is from a good place as JLC got me into this hobby years ago and I’ve been hoping for years that their Rip Van Winkle decision makers will finally wake up and realize that their core value proposi...

I asked JLC for a green dial variant of the Tribute Small Seconds model (via the London Boutique last summer). I do not claim the request to be original with me, and I suspect they were planning this item long before I asked for it, but still it is a watc...

Good points made

Brands do need to take feedback from their passionate collectors
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply those who ordered the green watch were dupes.
By: Horo_Traveler : April 9th, 2021-02:46
It is more the audacity of JLC believing that new colors in the same watch every year will continue to impress collectors. The boutique called me about the greenie and I told them I wasn’t looking to complete a Reverso rainbow. Let’s wait and see what the...
No worries buddy I know your intentions were good
By: jrwong23 : April 9th, 2021-04:06
As collectors we must always expect more especially from grand maisons like JLC! I was pulling your leg when I said I was a dupe I happen to like the green to complement my blue Rio de Janerio Reverso. Cheers Robin
Thanks for sharing

A nice follow on to the burgundy reverso. Will likely drop by soon to MBS to view in person. Like others, i still winder if there will be more releases in the 1931 tribute style, similar to the London, rouge, bleu, US, rio de janeiro and rama LE. Perhaps ...
Most welcome

Let's see what they come up with next
