Thank you! Such a great feeling!
It’s been endless hours stalking photos of the watch, calling dealers, calling sellers, contacting Jaeger themselves. Looking for alternatives, laying in bed staring at ideas. But this one stood out to me. Over and over again! As with everything the journey is a big part of the experience and I have enjoyed this process a lot.
I was nervous about spending so much. Nervous about buying something so nice. Nervous about what my wife would think of it. Nervous about whether I’d be disappointed.
But everything has been positive. I opened the box with my 4 year old son and kissed him on the head and told him “one day this watch will be yours” and took a photo with him and the watch.
My first nice watch. My first Reverso!
I bought this watch to celebrate surviving 43 years on this crazy planet. To celebrate some professional achievements as well as some personal ones. I’ve never bought a ‘nice’ or expensive watch before so it’s uncharted territory for me. I became obsessed...
And what a first nice watch this is..
Refreshing to see a first nice watch not being a Sub or a Moonwatch My old Duo says congrats! ...
Beautiful watch! Thank you!
I tried over 50 different watches over the past few months after falling in love with the Reverso just to make sure it’s really what I love and I easily confirmed to myself it is. I just went with how I felt not any consensus. Really lovely to talk to oth...
Thank you Nicholas
I have read many posts by you and you have a wealth of information. Amazing really. Am so very happy to own a Reverso and it’s been a very exciting day for me. It is indeed my first ever nice watch and I couldn’t be happier. Many thanks!!!
wow wow wow you can to the perfect fan boy forum.
Watch out collecting in addictive. Thanks for sharing. Bill
Thank you Bill
This place is wonderful. Have really enjoyed reading all of your posts and looking through photos.
I can see a true Purist in you: congrats to this elegant Reverso
"All mine.", that is the best feeling, when you are in love with a watch. All the "work" in getting it is fading and the shere exitement takes over. You might want to join Wrist Scan tomorrow: "Your latest catch" is the theme. Best Moritz
Thank you! Such a great feeling!

What an Intense experience, everso!
That is what a true watch enthusiast is made of: passion! Enjoy your lovely Reverso!
Your choice is an exceptional one.
In my opinion this is one of the nicest JLC daily wearers with a fantastic complication and 'ultra-thin' (translation: maybe not really ultra-thin but, more importantly, it's a reasonable and comfortable thickness even with the dual dials). This may be yo...
Thank you so much
Since I was a teenager I fantasized about one day buying a really ‘nice’ watch. I didn’t know what this watch would be and for years I didn’t. Until I encountered the Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso. My entire perspective changed. I became immersed in learni...
You skipped right over to JEDI status.
Don't you know you are supposed to make a ton of costly mistakes - like I did - before you buy a piece like that?!!!🎯
Hahaha thank you!
Your journey is your journey! I wouldn’t call them mistakes more like clouds you’ve jumped on to get somewhere else. The Reverso concept jumped right into me the second I went to the Jaeger store here in NY. I was totally enamored since! Many thanks!! ...
Classic !
It’s really great to see that reverso is your choice for your first. For some (like me) it takes a while to get to a reverso. Congrats. As the saying goes, it’s the watchmaker of watchmakers.
Thank you thank you
I had been searching for many years to find what I wanted and when I first encountered the Reverso in person I immediately knew it was the one. I didn’t think I could afford it. I almost backed out. But ultimately I knew this was the time and this was the...
It looks like this watch was made for your wrist!
Congratulations on this well thought of purchase and welcome to the forum!
Congratulations
you have chosen an amazing piece. The best thing with this watch is your passion though. Im pretty sure that you will like your watch in 10+ years just as much as you do today, because your piece is so over-classic that it never should feel old. I guess J...
Thanks so much Reuven! You are very right!
I wanted the most traditional looking and timeless looking piece I could get. The 1931 tributes fit the description but I wanted something thin and longer so the ultra thin grande really hit the spot. But even more important was that I didn’t want the JLC...
Congratulations on an Excellent Choice
It is one of my favorites also, welcome to the Club S ...
Congrats on your first gorgeous acquisition, Everso, and thanks for sharing such a beautiful story!😀
The process you have described and the joy you felt at the end of this journey is a great example of what every collector should experience, every time we purchase a new watch!😀 Congrats again, and enjoy this Reverso enormously — you couldn’t have chosen ...
Thank you FabR! Glad to see...
There are others like you who feel that joy! I’m over the moon! Woke up in the middle of the night and shined a flashlight on it just to look at it and fell back asleep! Haha. Feel like a little child who has something special in their possession. Couldn’...
Thank you!!
Definitely has been an experience already! Really enjoying every part of it!
Good morning from NYC!
It’s out in the world with me! I wear a blazer everyday and I was blown away by how it looks this morning. Was so excited last night that I slept with it in and woke up in the middle of the night, shined a flashlight on it to look at it and went back to s...
I really love your great passion and joy, everso!
Now this wonderful piece of art belongs to you and will be part of your future life. I wish you all the best and wear your beautiful Reverso with joy, pride and in best health! Cheers Thomas
Thank you so very much!!
Been walking around all day with a smile on my face!! Such a great feeling. Hard to believe how good some material objects can make one feel; especially when they represent something bigger for someone. Truly a work of art but also a functional work of ar...
Fully agree with you.
And I echo everyone’s congratulations! Wear it in good health! All the best, Niall
Still in honeymoon? 😊
I have to confess with some of my watches even after years the honeymoon phase hasn’t ended. So I completely feel with you and very much appreciate your passion and joy!! That’s what our „hobby“ is about. Passion. Cheers Thomas
Ah thank you. I am totally in love. Have barely taken it off!!
Even at night. Only took it off for the shower. Have looked at it 100s of times. Just feels so special to me like a little jewel with a whole world inside it. Just lovely. It’s great to hear people like you who still feel this way about their watches I te...
