Jaeger-LeCoultre

Still feeling rather disappointed over a vintage Reverso trade that did not materialize over the past week, I decided to pop into a local pre-own shop today and stumbled on this little beauty (pardon the bad phone camera). We hardly have pre-own Reversos ...  

JLC made several LE for several markets, so it is impossible to have a global knowledge on all these LEs.... To be sure, you should send the ref number to JLC with a pic or two, to check if this model existed, and what is the story behind. Best! Nicolas

Yes am afraid there is just too many editions being issued out there for us to keep track of everyone. Guess asking JLC to verify is the best source. Have done it through LeClub on their website. Hope they reply. If they do, will share with you all Gary

I tried to find what it could be on google for the fun but no clue. Maybe it was provided by the owner ... Curious to know the answer. Nice Reverso by the way.

even for the dial design, I did not find this model. but the emblem is nice in a "generic" kind of way....something nice and easily acceptable instead of initials or dates. well, am hoping JLC will be able to shed more light on this

Another stunning piece. Lucky you. Enjoy!

Really want to know more about this piece before I make the purchase. Hopefully it is still there in the shop. Any how, it's got me curious to find out the meaning behind the emblem. Hope I hear from them soon.

Nice Watch! The engraving looks just like the Victorinox logo.

It looks to me like the Coat of Arms of Switzerland, just with a wreath surrounding it for decoration and a slightly fancier shield. Both of those additions are, to the best of my knowledge, legitimate in heraldry. Here is an 1897 print of the coats of ar... 

Its been a while but today a reply came through from JLC regarding the Reverso I posted. I think it is only appropriate that I share the info with you guys, since I've got some of you curious. The info I got: The watch is from 1998.... a unique series of ... 

Interesting background from the Manufacture. Many thanks. Nicolas

Hi Foowy, I think there is almost no chance it is a fake watch. No fake would do such a good job on the engravings of the Swiss coat of arms and the 18k marking. Good luck!

fakes would usually be of the more popular mass models....but in the end I didnt go for it and opted for a GMT 16700 instead... thanks georgetownhoya
