Reverso Platinum Number 2
My second Tourbillon and first serious non-Patek. Bought number 42 of 500.
I like this watch a lot already.. Getting up the courage to order the Gyrotourbillon 2 although one of the AD's I approached (not my usual AD) actually tried to talk me out of ordering it.. He's a dealer but also a friend who maintains there is just too much depreciation in these models.. Doesn't want me to get hurt.
Is it possible that there can be depreciation on a model with such low production (75 pieces for the thick case Gyrotourbillon 2 reverso)?.. I think that Reverso Gyrotourbillon is breathtakingly beautiful.. Would much rather own it than my Patek 5101. This Plat No. 2 Tourbillon is a nice little surrogate (crutch), but clearly not the same world as the Gyrotourbillon 2.

Hey, Asi
If I had a 5101, I know what I'd do with...I'd sell it to go on this Gyro II, my friend... The Gyro II is much more exciting, appealing and yes, horogically speaking, much more interesting. As for the finish, I'd say that the Gyro II is over the 5101, IMH...
ok thats it... I'm going to do it.
Thanks sincerely to all. I'm going to order the Gyro2 Reverso... That wrist shot put me over the top. I'll keep the 5101 but this JLC piece speaks to me. This message has been edited by nothing but time on 2008-05-30 06:40:17

Trés cool, nbt . . .
. . . the platinum Reverso on your wrist is one of my favorite tourbillons as well . . . cordially, Art
very nice of you guys..
I feel very lucky I can do it.. I never forget it... I will say its almost a full time job scouring for these pieces. You could easily pay tens of thousands (collective 100's of thousands) in premium if you don't spend your time buying right. It's a dance...
