JLC - My first serious watch ever

My first serious watch ever

Hello you watch freaks,

My name is Steve and I'm 30 years old. This is my 1st serious watch and 1st watch EVER! I can't get over how cool this watch looks. I've researched the Reverso for probably a year before actually buying it. I've never even seen the watch in person and just bought it off looks alone (Took the gamble baby) although, I did make a template of the watch through the measurements given on the official site. I struggled for months deciding if it was too big.

Honestly, I believe the Grande Taille is a better fit for my wrist size, but I just did not like the numerals versus the indices. Plus the Tribute is just so THIN. I know some people don't like the needle hands, but this is the only reason I even bought this watch right now. I knew the US tribute edition was the only one with the needle hands(love it!) and sold out. I figured if I didn't buy this now, who knows when another would come along. I think I made the right choice despite what my wallet says in hind sight.

Super catch. Bravo. Nicolas.

You really know what you want and that's great.

Your wallet may not agree 100% with this decision of yours but at least it is a well-researched purchase and as long as you don't do this every month I think your wallet will not scream at you :P Congratulations on finding a perfect piece to be your first...

Hi Steven, Congratulations on your first JLC! That's a fantastic choice that would be a highlight of any collection, and I think it's one of the nicest Reversos made since JLC resumed production of the line. Also, you deserve a high-five for the stunning ...

Congratulations on your first

chances are there will be many more.... My first serious watch was a JLC, well depending who you ask it was. But that was long and many watches ago :) Cheers, Asi

My first JLC was a Reverso GT...

Congrats, Steve - That is a great start/watch! :) Funny - we share the same start into JLC. I got my first JLC at 31 and also a Reverso... Watch out - look what happened to me! ;) Best Blomman

Good choice!!

As Blomman mentions, the collection always has a starting point. I started mine just about more than 10 years ago. I keep reminding myself, 4 to 5 watches are more than enough. But that reminder is futile. Enjoy the very classic time piece!

Thanks for all the kind replies!
