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 liked many, but it always had to be a balance of what truly struck me in addition to the price I was willing to pay. I believe this time I have found the perfect balance between my needs and my price. I will continue my search for perpetuals as i think it will be fun to continue learning and exploring new shops and talking to knowledgeable folks like you. In my heart I know that I would probably wear a perpetual more often in the casual environment that I work, but a reverso has always been a dream. Sometimes my head has to follow the heart.
By the way, did I mention how much I love your watch. Beautiful.

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...

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...

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,...
