Saw posting about this piece but was amazed at how much I like it when I saw it in the metal.

The deep burgundy red is fantastic.
With projects upcoming do I dare?

Cheers, Filip

Is it a sunburst dial like the blue one from last year? [nt]

 
 By: fourtaelsgold : February 18th, 2019-23:37

No. Flat color but a wonderful color. The treatment with the strap makes it more attractive [nt]

How would you rate this versus the blue dial one? [nt]

 
 By: fourtaelsgold : February 19th, 2019-08:30

The blue dial is nice but frankly blue in its various shades is the color of the year. This read is richer and with the strap calls to me so much louder then the blue. Of course it’s a matter of personal preference. Also with the blue dialed piece I have

no other blue in this line will take its place b

At this level of price, you can always go for it. Yes, this is my love affair of the year, as well. [nt]

Once again like minded. Didn’t expect to get so blown away. [nt]

Relative to the 1931 Rouge

-the hour hand indicator is asthetically not pleasing vs sword hand of rouge -the circular vs rectangular subs seconds loses its Art Deco feel -the x2 JLc logo is redundant, less is more -makes the Reverso Rouge even more desirable Photo credit included ...  

Except the shape of the case is better in the Tribute Small Seconds [nt]

The sub seconds adds

Excellent [nt]

Totally understand your points. This one’s whole gestalt grabbed me and it’s simplicity and it’s color struck me. This is an unusual piece for me as I still prefer more complex and involved pieces. [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 19th, 2019-07:18

Would love to see that dial in person, beautiful and very powerful😍 [nt]

 
 By: FabR : February 19th, 2019-01:04

Yes you should. I saw the pictures as was interested but in the metal it has a quite different effect. [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 19th, 2019-07:20

Nothing to daring here...Its a classy piece. Carier used to have a signature color very close to this. This has more blue in it :) [nt]

 
 By: redcorals : February 19th, 2019-06:04

Interesting. Are you referring to Cartier? Not familiar with the dial you are referring to. [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 19th, 2019-09:06

My bad on spells...Cartier

Like that lie-de-vin dial color a lot. But is the strap too “matchy-matchy?”

 
 By: Ano Nuevo : February 19th, 2019-10:10
I wonder whether a complementary (rather than matching) strap color would set off the dial to its full advantage. Ano “Mr. Burnt Sienna plus two parts Chartreuse and a touch of Cerulean ;-)” Nuevo

I do think understand your point and contrast at times highlights the color being showcased. It just works for this piece. But....you can always add new chartreuse shoes if you’d like. 😉 [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 19th, 2019-13:16

True. It’s easier to change the strap than to repaint the dial!

 
 By: Ano Nuevo : February 19th, 2019-20:53
Hmmmm...Burgundy with chartreuse...Sounds like something Natalie Kalmus would love. Ano “Bring back the 1953 Technicolor palette, please” Nuevo

Sorry, Mitch, but a chartreuse strap doesn’t work. 😢😢

 
 By: Ano Nuevo : February 19th, 2019-21:38
Ano “Why, yes, I AM a PhotoShop expert!” Nuevo 🤡 ...  

Bravo. You did make a point. But chartreuse was your original idea. How about burnt sienna? 😉 [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 19th, 2019-22:39

Btw should I get acknowledgment for the picture as it is my hand. Do I have to sign a release? 😊 [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 20th, 2019-09:40

Don’t sue me, please, Mitch!

Do I get to try the “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” defense? Oh, if only I knew a qualified French avocat who would take my case...Anyone??? Someone smart, mais pas trop cher. 🏦 Ano “I throw myself upon the mercy of the court” Nuevo 🏛 ⚖️ Pos... 

LOL. After in depth consultation and with the collegial spirit of our community please feel free to use my hand modeling abilities. Maybe I am on to a new career as a hand model. [nt]

What a relief — no lawsuit! You are a man of taste, discernment, AND compassion. (And obviously NOT an attorney! 👏👏) - A.N. [nt]

ROFL, guys, you are on fire! [nt]

True that but I do some work with them and have learned a thing or two like how to write a six line sentence with no punctuation [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 20th, 2019-13:26

LOL! [nt]

Love the dial colour, but agree with comments above regarding strap colour, something with more contrast could set the dial of better.

I must say that it was breathtaking in this form but it might be fun to put other straps against it to see if it has the same or greater impact. [nt]

 
 By: Mitch K : February 20th, 2019-12:07

Stunning! [nt]

 
 By: jj.hansen : February 20th, 2019-13:43

Couldn’t agree more. After looking at some of the most amazing pieces JLC has I was surprised how taken I was with this model. [nt]
