Another pleasant torture: Which one do you prefer between the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Blue and Burgundy? Both are highly tempting, but if I had to choose, I would go for the Burgundy. Why? We had too many Blue lastly, while the Burgundy is by far mo...  

I would pick the burgundy

I would go for the blue. The dial seems more 'alive' than the burgundy which is more of a matt finish although your wonderfully taken photos indicate otherwise.

It is more original as a dial colour than blue... and it reminds me of a nice French region too

even though I voted for blue which I knew would lose - the burgundy is a newer watch and a boutique edition so that itself gives it an edge.

I should have taken it right away during the visit ! ...  

Probably to reduce the gap with the Swiss made marking

But it’s also a watch that would make me smile every time I sat down with a glass of red in hand.

Best, V.

Tough choice. I like the burgundy for variety and with contrasting straps imagine it could really pop. But the blue is so well done, however there are so many blue pieces in this universe to choose from... so conclusion for me if I had to choose a reverse... 

the green dial is stunning. it would be very hard to choose between the green or the red

I ended up with the blue. Although it was the blue Duo. It was a very difficult decision and I may eventually end up with the burgundy as well if I am so lucky.

but in this case, burgundy wins

Only because it matches my wardrobe better!

So much blue in the marketplace and the burgundy is beautiful in its own right

If I hadn't had the Rouge already, I'll jump on the Burgundy.

Knowing my color tastes, I would most likely tire of the Burgundy.

I guess unlimited minor variations aren’t being cost-squeezed out at JLC unlike so many other places. Cazalea

.. as I’ve got blue covered with a latitude already - and red hues seem less prevalent in the back catalogue (rouge 1931 notwithstanding).. al

Mainly as haven't a watch with that colour dial & when I saw it in London it was rather special. Now if we are adding wishful thinking a Duo with a blue and a burgundy dial might work very well. Cheers JML

used for this Reverso. So difficult in fact, that I consider the colour to be a complication of its own.

The burgundy is special indeed , but a bit to loud for my taste . I also find the blue more versatile , therefore that’s my choice until I see the other in person....

Maybe if they make an emerald or ivory dial then I can make up my mind

it's most likely blue for me---but i'll have to see the burgundy in the metal to be convinced of adding another 'red'. Btw,the blue dial you showed seems to differ from the one Tyo showed in his post,so do we have a choice of blue dials?

Hi Nicolas — what is the difference between these two models (small seconds vs. duo), apart from the obvious difference that the duo has two alternative dials? Is the case size (or the main dial) different?

The Tribute Duo is bigger: 47, 8 x 28, 3 mm and 10, 3 mm high, and the dial is a bit different. Look at the small seconds subdial at 6, on the blue ( which is a Tribute Duo ) and compare it to the Red, which is a Tribute Small Seconds... You will also see... 

for the Burgundy: ...  

Goes well with the Art Deco aesthetic.. old world tone/color if you will
