yes, your hope will become a reality in the not too distant future Ruckdee circa 2011 ;-)
The Grande Reverso 976 has become my go-to watch for dress up days.
You may recall my purchase dilemma about a year ago when I decided against the Navy Seals Automatic because I have too many dive watches and after I refused to take delivery of a Squadra watch due to slight mechanical defect. Eventually, I reverted to my ...
Nice post, Ruckdee.
The 976 has a nicely dimensioned case, and if you add the black dial, I would only wish a solid case back and we wouldn't be far from the oerfect Reverso. Funny that you mentionned your passion for combining sunglasses and watches... This is a game I play...
Great looking watch...
And nice pictures and story. Easy to see why the 976 has been keeping the IWC at bay, too!
I tried to keep it the shortest I could. Wouldn't want to bore you with too much text.
And let the pics do the talking. Better that way, right? Ruckdee
Looks great, Ruckdee!
If JLC hadn’t released the TT 1931 this year… The 976 black dial would have been my next modern Reverso! Now I am wobbling in my thoughts and if I know my self right will go for the original first… Thank you for sharing your beautiful watch! Best Blomman...
You are most welcome. It's always a pleasure to contribute to...

Credit of last two wrist shots go to my fiancee. She will soon replace me...
...as the photographer of the house if her skills improve with virtually no practice like this. Thanks for your kind words. Ruckdee

Great pair of Reverso's
Congrats, both look amazing,and its always nice to have a black and white dial choice to the mix. Great pics, looks great on ya. I'm so itching for a black dial, I've got TTR on my mind, but the 976 looks sweet too. Enjoy the beauties. Cheers, Dave.
Grats!
That's the way Purists should think - make your outfit revolves around your watch!
It also goes to show what the priority is like inside a Purist's brain.
Watch first, others later Ruckdee
I don't know why but I'm singing "Men in Black" to myself reading your post
Must be the sleek new shoes and sunglasses to follow. We need to see a picture of the complete ensemble when it is finalised. Regards, Richard.
