Re: Ruthenium
Nicolas,
That is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful picture. The watch that was being held for me that I am scheduled to pick-up on Friday is the RDM as I mentioned, maybe from 2002 or 2003 or so. I have been trying to do as much research on the watch, movement and ruthenium as possible to learn as much as I can. I love the look of the ruthenium against the platinum and I really like the simplicity of the dial on the RDM. This hobby frustrates me at times as I walk into stores and see several things that I really like. As an example, I was on a business trip early this week walked into a large AD in NYC and saw a beautiful Glashutte Senator Perpetual in Platinum with a blue dial and all of a sudden I am back to square one.
I feel confident I am going with the JLC Reverso, but the collecting world is tempting. Nicolas, from your posts on this forum and from the collection I read that you have assembled is remarkable. How would you view the calibre in the reverso RDM? I love the ruthenium and I love the Platinum, not sure if patience gets me a more complicated piece and something as beautiful as yours. The one thing that I do know is that I would like to concentrate my future collection in the direction of Platinum. I like the weight and the look very much.
Warmest regards,
Utkarsh

To answer your question, I'd go on the RDM... You alreday own 2 nice JLC, this RDM will make the perfect trio, with 3 pieces that get some true JLC DNA. I' even think about completing this trio by a Reverso, as it's also an iconic watch...LOL Best, and lo...

Nicolas, Thank you and excellent advise. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Reverso, such a classic watch. Truth be told, I am not sure I would have much use for a Rattrapante, just looks cool. I think the Reverso RDM is the wise choice. I look fo...

Art, You make an excellent point. I ended up talking to my AD about both watches as he is a dealer fro both Blancpain and JLC and he told he that he would never sell me a Blancpain since he has seen so many come in for service. He mentioned actually exact...

Nicolas, Thank you for helping me make this choice. At the end, I guess it was not that hard, but unfortunately I struggled with it. I feel really good about it now though. I am scheduled to pick it up on Friday, which is going to make this a long week of...

Nobody can tell you what you have to do, except your heart... I think that in a nice collection, a piece like this Reverso RDM has a place in it, as ity's a classic, nad a dressy watch, and everybody who is a bit watchnut needs a classic dressy piece in h...

Sage advice as always. I have been looking for a Platinum Reverso that "spoke" to me for over two years now and in that time I have tried on many dozens in different materials and with different complications to find the one that just hit me. Of course I ...
