Tyo, you are my mentor here!
The Burgundy vs the Rouge. Nico made a nice comparison here:
https://www.watchprosite.com/jaeger-lecoultre/sihh-2019-a-review-on-the-jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-tribute-small-seconds-boutique-edition-/2.1288011.10907701/
In addition, I would like to add that the thicker Burgundy one has curved lugs that hug the wrist more compare to the thinner straight lugs of the Rouge.
Also, the indexes on the Burgundy are higher in the middle and slop down towards both sides (not sure about the exact word for it) but the indexes on the Rouge are flat. As a result the Burgundy feels more bling/ modern and has more depth comparing to the more vintage inspired Rouge.
Personally I prefer the Rouge’s cleaner dial and swords hands just because it is easier to tell the time. Dauphine hands, sometimes I get the hour and minute hands mixed up. I really need to check my eyesight.
Finally, I never seem to able to see the sunburst dial on the Burgundy. Again, this confirms I need to see an eye doctor lol.
Best,
David
Finally completed my rainbow reverso collection 🌈
Happy Monday everyone. Best, David ...
Hey Cpt,
Yes indeed! I hope JLC makes an orange Holland one or a baby blue Argentina one. I can dream. Best, David
Hahah... A rainbow dial is a little too much.
Perhaps a colour shifting one? Like the blue/ purple Reverso Tribute small seconds. Best, David ...
You are my hero
So here we have 3 green Reverso Nilomis Miranda And you How do you use the new red vs the previous one? How do rank this new one?

Yes, the blue one is the Rio. I will post a picture of the London, Bangkok and Rio engravings soon.
Hey Nico, The Bangkok yellow one and the London green are by far the hardest to catch. The burgundy one is my son’s birth year watch with a special engraving on the back. Not the toughest catch, but it is the most meaningful. Best, David
Commitment ....
or some kind of sickness? I don’t know hahhah. Thanks a lot Bill. Best, David
or the US ltd one?
Picture credit to Quill & Pad. If the opportunity arises, I may add one. But black isn’t a colour from the rainbow lol Best, David ...
Wow... I didn’t know about this one.
Do you know how many were made? Does anyone have more information on this Madison Avenue Boutique edition? Time to do some research I would say = ) Thank you for enlightening me, cfnissen. Best, David
As far as I know...
...we are in the single digits for this one. I saw ads for it in The New Yorker magazine. This was around the opening of the JLC flagship store on Madison Av. They also made another variation afterwards with an engraving of the Brooklyn Bridge. And they w...
Wow, Madison Avenue and Brooklyn Bridge.
Thank you for the info cfnissen. I didn’t know the existence of these 2 rare birds. I would consider myself lucky if I see one of those in real life. Yeah, I agree with Nico. A NY subway map would be awesome. Best, David
Hey fernando!
I need to thank you for helping me to start this wonderful reverso collection. I’m so happy to finally get the London one just a few days ago. The patience pays off. = ) Best, David
Wow!
Awesome collection! The Bangkok one, my friends and I here in Thailand have been looking but obviously in the wrong places! I guess I should call it the Rama 9 not Bangkok.
Yes, my bad.
The yellow reverso should be The King Rama IX of Thailand. I would say it is the hardest to find. Good luck hunting for your’s. Best, David
Thank you
and I'm glad you have one! I've only seen the one that was up for auction back in '18. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about it until it was too late.
Wow!
Well, it makes me real happy that one of the Watchpro family members got itt. Doesn't surprise me a bit!
Wow another rare bird.
The 55th National Day of Kuwait. Love the green on this one. Enjoy yours SALMANQ8. Best, David
It wasn’t easy at all and frustrating at times.
Through this journey, I had many firsts. 1st time meeting/ trading with a purist pro friend. 1st time going and winning in an auction. 1st time doing a personal engraving. 1st time almost getting scammed on the internet. 1st time having Fedex unwilling to...
WOW!!
what a fantastic theme! bravo! and thanks for sharing it here, this color festival really made my day cheers
Who said reversos are dressy ?
Happy that this picture made your day. Hopefully more to come in the future. = ) Best, David
That’s the most polarising one.
You either love it or hate it. I definitely love the yellow King Rama IX of Thailand. Best, David
The colour yellow ...
Is the birth colour of King Rama IX and many people in Thailand wear yellow over the coronation period. A very special colour for Thailand indeed. Best, David
amazing!
congrats! looks superb, no black dial on the rainbow I suppose... but that is also a very handsome version me thinks... but can not compete with with what you got there. Enjoy!
Yes I have to agree.
I like the black one too. If I have the opportunity to get the US limited edition one with syringe hands and real Casa Fagliano strap, I will not hesitate to get one. Best, David
I also like the fact that JLC doesn’t make these colourful reversos often...
.... like ltd AP offshores or ltd speed masters, otherwise it would be impossible to collect them all. Best, David
i registered on this site just to post....
how IN LOVE i am with your collection. Hello. i have just started shopping for my first ever premium watch and it will probably be a Reverso. I am obsessed with the yellow one----but unfortunately am unable to find one. you have such a lovely collection!!...
thank you Amanico!!! yes will share some photos soon.
just ordered my first ever 'expensive' watch and my first Reverso! arriving tomorrow.
Wow, thank you for registering and welcome here.
I appreciate you loving my collection. Yes, the yellow one is very distinctive. Only 39 King Rama IX Thailand reversos were made, it is very difficult to find one. But don’t worry, there are so many different reversos to choose from, I am sure you will be...
Ah no! Wish I had...
Bought a different Reverso! Not as special as some of the I RS you all are posting but special to me!!
