Jaeger-LeCoultre

I would have also changed the case material...

 

I really think that this new watch and new use of the Fagliano strap would have deserved something more different visually speaking from the Tribute 1931. We had the black, the brown straps (if I'm not wrong) so I would have expected something different and less classic. JLC needs to remove the dust on the Reverso.
So: maybe if we keep the same case and dial, a grey strap would have been welcome
or: a neutral color case with for exemple a blue/navy blue strap
It is a pity that brands don't realize that the change of straps color is key. Any dealer knows this. When you put a watch on display with a brown or black strap, it is fine but not eye-catching. When a different color is used, customers are more attracted and dealers get more visits!
I would have expected a more daring attitude but it is something I write in almost all brands forums LOL.
Trying to explain to brands that it would be good to offer something different from black or brown is a very difficult since they don't want to take any risk.
Best regards.

Classic, cool and very desirable. Cheers, Nilo

Gorgeous, but 12.6 mm thick?

I really like: --stunning dial and rose gold color combination --Fagliano two-tone strap--just beautiful and clearly luxuriously well-crafted --duo complication...a perfect application for the Reverso concept --applied JL logo Will have to reserve full ju... 

Nice hue.

Too big and too thick for me though. But I'm sure there is no lack of takers of this limited edition.

Nicolas, I shall, when it arrives here in Hong Kong.

But from past experience, any watches over 42mm in diameter appear big on my wrist. Cheers, Henry

Delightful

The only thing I don't like is the circular subdial, it looks too modern to be matched with the Tribute dial unless it's to display the date and moonphase. I also hope the other dial doesn't feature a full revolving disc as the day/night indicator

Which ones are limited since these let's say 6 last years?

The green, for the London Boutique. The yellow for Thailand. And then, this one. What more do we have?

The Reverso Anniversary was in 2016!

2017 is the year for something truly new from JLC. It’s time

I like it a lot but...

I would have expected a different color range to escape from the traditional "pink gold - chocolate strap". I think that a more daring attitude would have been welcomed even if I'm happy with the dial. Thanks a lot for the presentation. Fx

I would have also changed the case material...
