My pleasure!
I picked exactly the same watch for a firend of mine who asked me to help him to choose and to find the nicest Reverso...
It was this one for him, due to the value, and the size...
And each time I see him with this reverso, it makes me very happy.
Can't wit for your pics!
Best.

A New Member Needs Some Advice
First off, let me take a moment to thank everyone on this board for helping me out on my education of fine timepieces. I am constantly in awe of how much is yet to be learned. All of you have helped make me make some great decisions on some great JLC piec...
Welcome Here, Lagauvulin
To answer your question, I'd go on the RDM... You alreday own 2 nice JLC, this RDM will make the perfect trio, with 3 pieces that get some true JLC DNA. I' even think about completing this trio by a Reverso, as it's also an iconic watch...LOL Best, and lo...
Re: Advise
Nicolas, Thank you and excellent advise. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Reverso, such a classic watch. Truth be told, I am not sure I would have much use for a Rattrapante, just looks cool. I think the Reverso RDM is the wise choice. I look fo...
I'm not sure if this is entirely relevant, but I thought I'd pass it . . .
. . . along anyways: rattrapantes are easily damaged if incorrectly operated, so if the particular watches you're considering are second hand, you might want to pay special attention to the Blancpain before committing your money. Cordially, Art
Completely relevant....
Art, You make an excellent point. I ended up talking to my AD about both watches as he is a dealer fro both Blancpain and JLC and he told he that he would never sell me a Blancpain since he has seen so many come in for service. He mentioned actually exact...
Nice and wise choice, Lagauvulin
It's a beautiful Reverso! You' ll love the combo Ruthenium dial/ Platinum case!!! Please post some pics ASAP! Best. Nicolas
Re: Wise Choice
Nicolas, Thank you for helping me make this choice. At the end, I guess it was not that hard, but unfortunately I struggled with it. I feel really good about it now though. I am scheduled to pick it up on Friday, which is going to make this a long week of...
Lagauvulin, as you spoke about the ruthenium dialed Platinum Reversos

Re: Ruthenium
Nicolas, That is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful picture. The watch that was being held for me that I am scheduled to pick-up on Friday is the RDM as I mentioned, maybe from 2002 or 2003 or so. I have been trying to do as much research on the watch,...

Nobody can tell you what you have to do, except your heart... I think that in a nice collection, a piece like this Reverso RDM has a place in it, as ity's a classic, nad a dressy watch, and everybody who is a bit watchnut needs a classic dressy piece in h...
Nicolas..
Sage advice as always. I have been looking for a Platinum Reverso that "spoke" to me for over two years now and in that time I have tried on many dozens in different materials and with different complications to find the one that just hit me. Of course I ...
Thanks, my friend, and yes, enjoy!
Don't forget to post pics of your new baby! Best. Nicolas
