Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Serie Première' Reverso Duo was released in three distinct limited editions, each with 300 units: blue, red, and green backfaces, in addition to the classic black.
The author chose the 1995 Reverso Duo 'Serie Première' over a newer Tribute to Small Seconds Duoface, finding its size and classic dials more timeless and suitable for his collection.
Another collector confirms owning a 'Serie Première' Duo, noting its rarity and the difficulty in finding historical information about this specific 300-example version, with some pieces even numbered on the case.
The 'Serie Première' blue dial is particularly appreciated for its aesthetic, with some collectors also expressing interest in a salmon dial variant.
Despite being tempted by other models like the Reverso Rouge (1931), the author values the versatility of the Duo 'Serie Première' and has chosen to retain it.

Hi Yakomino

I had the Tribute to small seconds duoface that I liked a lot (great piece!)... but once I got this one, it´s size felt just right and the dials are more timeless (classic), at least for me... so I decided to let go the newer one in favor of this duo from 1995, both are fantastic, but wanted to settle on just one between them.
