My first JLC
is a Reverso - of course. The most classic of all JLCs, and browsing through the posts on this forum, this particular model appears to be very popular.

Congratulations! Such a nice piece!
Have you thought about the colorful tributes, too? Why did you went with this version?
My favourite Reverso originally was the Gran Sport Chrono ...
... but back then, I could not afford it. Last year, JLC decided to "honour" its local sales partner, that had nursed JLC for decades (since VDO ownership), also through difficult times, by withdrawing the sales concession, because the shop's location would not match the brand image any more. Consequently, the remaining JLCs in stock were sold at a discount.
Normally, I wear watches from 40 to 44mm diameter, so I am used to larger watches. However, I tried on some of the larger Reversos and liked them, but what really blew me away was how good this smaller three-hander looked on my wrist. So I decided for that model, also because I love the good and legible contrast between the silver-white dial and the blued hands.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanations.
Jlcs behaviour is a shame, though!
Amazing pics!
And congratulations to a very nice classic watch. You can't go wrong with that one!
So Happy To Read You!
And YES! The Reverso with its Art Deco appearance is what got me first interested in watches!
Congratulations. The Reverso is the Goldberg Variations of watchmaking. So many variations on a theme. J.S. Bach would approve.
Congrats sir! I recently added this one and have been very pleased; I think you will enjoy it for a very long time
Congrats Marcus! Looks stunning and am sure you will enjoy it a lot! I also got my first JLC recently, a reverso, and boy oh boy it quickly became one of my favorite. Timeless!
What took you so long ? :) congratulations. A watch that will stay with me, along the Explorer, in the worst situation.
Indeed, it took a long time until my first JLC.
Basically, I always wanted a rectangular watch, but on the paper, most (affordable) Reversos appeared to be too small for me. However, this experience once again proves that pure figures are very different when it comes to the subjective presence, especially of a rectangular timepiece.
