Congratulations ...
with your purchase. That's a beauty.
A great story and i agree - sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't - patience is often well rewarded.
My first JLC is also a reverso and it took me a while as well - had the option for the duo bleu and the rouge, at the end didn't go for either and was hoping that i made the right choice. then decided on a specific Reverso and missed several opportunities to buy one. At the end found a local seller and it really worked out.
If you share my feelings for the reverso, you will enjoy it tremendously.
Wear it in good health.
Mine says hello.

Great post with an interesting story of your acquisitions and lovely photos.
The first photo, the wrist shot of your new watch, is superb and shows, in my opinion, exactly how a Reverso should be worn. So smart and elegant. Congratulations and regards. Kev.
Well, that was full of reverses
Stefan, What a tale of intrigue and reverses. I didn't realise that buying watches was so complicated and everything turned on just the difference between a .com and .de...... 😯 Stung by a potential fraudster, your caution lost the next two watches... You...
Big learnings for me, dear MTF. Buying from an AD is certainly much more straightforward, and often the best option. But knowing to navigate the online market is also a good thing....
Finally a happy end, that's all what counts Best Stefan
Great story ,
I used to sell stuffs through classifieds on an other forum and remember there was a guy one time who wanted the same due diligence process with me (pix,passport,friendly phone call etc.)even before stage 1 the item i had was sold to somebody else.

Great yet also painful story, Stefan
Congratulations on your Reverso! I think you picked a great one and you will have a Reverso that will still fresh for decades to come. I enjoyed reading your story how you got there and I often had similar experiences. Very happy for you. CC
The simplicity and functionality of the ultra thin duo ...
... as well as the timeless design makes it the quintessential reverso in my opinion. A very hearty congratulations. Now ... a pic of the reverse side? Kind regards, Dan
No regretfully.
When I got this one, I let it go, but should have kept it. Steel stunner, even holds its own vs platinum. ...
