New JLC Green dial Tribute to 1931 Reverso

In case anyone wants something very limited (or just likes green dials), the JLC Regent Street boutique has a special run of 26 green dialled reverso's being made for it.

I saw the prototype on Wednesday & they'd only had it for two days. The model is only available from that boutique & is being made to celebrate the boutique breaking free of its arrangement with Mappin & Webb and Watches of Switzerland, as well as its expanded new premises. The boutique is now completely Richemont controlled and has been designated the European flagship store - there's even a little museum in the back.

I'm not sure of the price but would guess it's similar to the existing Tribute to 1931 models. The dial is really nicely done - but it's really green, in a sporting and period correct type of way. It'll be interesting to see how quickly they sell, given the popularity of the Blue dialled model.

Thanks for that. The one I saw had no engraving, which is probably why it was described as the prototype.

Not sure I have the complexion to pull off a green dial, but some people do 😀 it is a very "British" green & it would look pretty good with casual sports or polo gear I reckon. That's probably the intention I suppose.

I like it but I find the Big Ben engraving on the back a bit cheesy - I wish they'd left it blank, or made it a duoface...

Hmm, not too fond of the green so far, though all I've seen are photos.

I've often wondered - what if the reverso came in a blue-green-grey shade, a little like the Nautilus? I think it might work - photoshopped one just for fun
