This morning Seth called from the Beverly Hills Boutique
He said he had something special for me....
A nice polo shirt!
Polo...Reverso....
Of course there was more than just a nice shirt.....you don't think I was just going to post pictures of a new shirt.....
There was a Reverso for me as well!
Looks like a new model....
It is the watch that was the talk of SIHH: The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931!
Simply magnificent.
Special thanks to Seth and Jim at the Beverly Hills Boutique for thinking of me when they received their first shipments of this watch (note to Seth - expect the phone to start ringing off the hook). Sorry about the quality of these photos. I'll have some more pictures soon, but I barely managed to get these before the battery in my camera died. I wasn't expecting to get "the call" today and didn't realize that the battery was nearly dead. To all the other Purists...Call your local Boutique. The Reverso Tribute to 1931 has started shipping so hopefully your wait won't be long. Cheers, Mark This message has been edited by rovermark on 2011-04-27 14:21:45

Congrats, Mark.
I have the feeling that the Tributes will become Community watches. After the Polaris some 2 years and a half, now the TT R 1931 and the TT DSAs to come soon! Very happy for you, and to say all, a bit jealous, as I want the same shirt! Best, Nicolas.
Thanks Nicolas
I wonder if al of the people who buy a Reverso 1931 Tribute will also receive a polo shirt to match....
Nico is right...
Seth sent me the polo shirt just for the hell of it, and the last watch I bought from him was my Incursion, which was almost a year ago. Mind you, a part of me wonders whether or not he's a bit psychic, since I did get on the list for the US Edition about...
Community Watch .. Community Polo ?! :)
That indeed might make a nice Community Shirt .. best, hs
The Polo ?.. Nice indeed .. The TT 31 - even nicer.
This nice Polo shirt ? - Nahh , wish there might be chance for us here in Europe , as well.. :-o But it's starting to get a bit crazy, (or childish) - isn't it ? Still - might be nice .. Well , maybe a Polo for the TT DSA (?) - or some other goodie then ....
Oops -- No, no .. Of course not with a polo logo.. ;-)
Right you are - Sorry, was just mis- expressing myself, and didn't think twice .. And a polo shirt would indeed not be a good symbol, Was just rationalizing about any goodie or twist, (to foster bonding even more) or such.. (Maybe a folder or so about div...
Was kidding, HS...
With the TT Polaris, nothing came. I do hope that JLC will gift us some goodies, too. Let's see, we'll have the answer soon! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Thanks Northpole
It is a hell of a watch. Stunningly elegant yet very sporty at the same time.
I'm going to have to look more closely in my package...
...because all I got was the shirt (and it was a size too big). Congrats on the TTR! Regards, Adam
Thanks Adam
Given the thinness of the Reverso 1931 it could be that you missed it in the package ; )
Thanks Ming
Now I have two new watches for you to check out at our next get-together.
congrats rovermark!
and nice shirt to boot! Great piece and as always, Seth and Jim are awesome. Wear that piece in good health Mark.
Thanks Phil
The guys at the Beverly Hills Boutique do a great job. Some of the other brands could learn a lot from them.

I am with Art on this one! This message has been edited by ocwatching on 2011-04-28 08:36:50
Ah, you got that delivered already?
Very nice! I am looking forward to the US version delivery Congrats!!! Ken
I was having problems deciding which version to get
I decided that I would make the choice simple. Whichever model arrived at the boutique first would be the one I bought. I'm quite happy with the way it turned out since I prefer the hands on the standard version to the American edition.
I am truly happy for you. The joy when an anticipated watch arrives is incomparable.
Don't forget to take more wristshots as you visit places then share those with us. It will be great to see the Tribute in some natural settings around the world. Congratulations on your new and special acquisition ... and also the polo shirt! Ruckdee
I'll try to post some more wrist shots...
But I'm afraid that for the near future they won't include foreign lands. My only upcoming travel is all within the USA.
Congratulations!
I was actually pretty jealous when I thought you were posting JUST about the shirt, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw that beautiful Reverso. Actually I am delighted for you. That is really a great looking Reverso. I can't wait to try one on. I thi...
Thanks for the comment about the photos
They were just some quick shots. What I need is an overcast day so that I can get some good glare free shots. Unfortunately (or fortunately) living in Los Angeles we just don't get a lot of overcast days : )
Congrats on this...
Wow, very nice. First the AP and now the JLC TT1931. Great choices and it looks fantastic. And great job by Seth and his team at the JLC Boutique. The shirt is a nice touch. Can't wait to see your watch the next time we meet up. Regards, ED-209
April has been an unexpectedly good month for watches...
When I ordered my AP 15202 the boutique told me they were expecting delivery in the summer. I ended up accepting delivery in less than 30 days which was a very pleasant surprise. With the Reverso 1931 I didn't expect to have one available until later in t...
Wish it will be the same for the years to come.
Yes, I did noticed that this year, JLC shipped to the ADs and Boutiques some of the novelties which were announced 3 months ago. That is indeed excellent. Some more will come before this summer, ad among them, one I think you'll be pleased with, the TT DS...
Thanks Filip
Hopefully you will get a chance to see it soon. Maybe we can arrange another range day with DRMW.
Awesome
The simplicity rules. Such a fresh change from all the complicated offerings on the market. Wear it in good health.
Thanks Greg
It is a simple elegant design yet I find it to also be a bit sporty. I think it is due to the shape of the hands and indexes. Over the years a lot of the Reverso models have seemed more dressy to me. This one returns to the model's roots as a sports watch...
Mark, that's awesome!!! I'm (almost) as excited as if it were delivered to me!
It looks fantastic. Enjoy it! (And show it to us soon.) Best, CaliforniaJed
Thanks Jed
Hopefully there will be an opportunity for you to see it in person soon. Are you going to IGOTT? I'm planning on bringing it with me to Vegas.
Sincere Congratulations ! - a Great Tribute ! :))
And this T - shirt, that's a nice treat, as well - would make a nice Team/community one .. Give her a good life and Anjoy in good health ! Best, hs
Well all I have to say is
congratulations on a fine purchase. It looks really lovely. Best regards, George
Congrats on your new purchase!
I know how you must feel. It's a great feeling when you purchase a new timepiece. Enjoy it to the max! Cheers SamEE
To be honest..
I'm not in love with purchasing new watches but I love wearing them so I'll just have to deal with spending the money ; )
Big congrats Mark
and very nice shirt, awwww I want the shirt as well, enjoy to the fullest, best, ES
Congrats Stefan
I'm glad to know that other members of our little community are sharing the joy. This message has been edited by rovermark on 2011-04-29 14:31:49
Congrats, Mark!
Saw it for the first time in the metal today – a stunning piece! Give her a good life! Best Blomman
Thanks Blomman
Now that you have seen one in the metal do you think it needs to be in your collection?
Ever since I saw it in pics…
I have felt it “needs” to be in my collections! But it has to wait a bit… The TT Twins first! Best Blomman
this one of the hell of package and great collectible watch
enjoy your watch and wear it in good health
I hope you get many of these calls in the future
Congrats, Mark! It looks super on your wrist! Enjoy it!! Tell me, did you jump on the DSA as well? Cheers, Alex
Thanks Alex
I haven't made up my mind on the DSA yet, although I am leaning towards buying one. I'll probably get the European version as I prefer the simpler dial design. The DSA is a great watch, but for me the must have of this years models was the Reverso 1931. T...
