Just wondering if anyone has seen or tried one of the new JLC Reverso Ultra thin Duofaces ? http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hands-...e-grande-reverso-ultra-thin-duoface-live-pics I tried one of the standard Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 models a couple of weeks ago, but oddly enough it was a bit too thin to really suit my wrist. With the extra height from the Duoface movement, I'm interested to know how differently it sits. It might be a little while before I might get a chance to find out myself.
One of the many things I like about that watch - at least the white side - is the reverse snobbery of not having JLC on the dial. It really makes it a connoisseur's piece.
It has a lot going for it & may just be working its way up my wish list The 1931 dial is very faithful to the look and sprit of the early Reverso's & i think it has a nice blend of historical and modern across the two dials. The guilloche on the reverse dial is beautiful The downside is that they might not be available until next month - I'm just waiting to hear when one might be available for me to look at.
This one is right on the No. 1 spot on my modern watch wishlist. As long as the MRSP doesn't kill me.
Well, the article does say likely $10,000 MSRP in stainless steel. And it does look like a nice if not pricey piece.
Just had an email to say it will arrive at the boutique "soon" with a limited edition due to arrive in August. If I get to try it I will see if I can get a couple of pictures.
The first of the Blue faced ones to arrive in London will be mine & only one is expected in the foreseeable future. Confirmed it today
