Weird watch - can anyone identify it
Hi folks, as some of you may know through previous posts to this site and to other forums, I collect JL Reversos. The other day I came across a reverso for sale that I have never seen in either catalogues or any of the Jaeger publications. Normally I would not ask such a question, but could anyone verify that the model for sale on ebay - list number 130319111885 is in fact a known reverso. The seller seems genuine as he indicates the watch was bought by a mother in law in Bahamas. I am aware of at least two authorised dealers in that area.
Normally I would not ask about an item for sale like this, but if it were authentic it would be a pity for it to be passed up. The owners has no papers for the watch. The common fakes I see for reversos do not have these two faces but on the reverse face one can see that the detail is not completely printed -- something that I would have thought jaeger would not allow out of its factory.
Thanks for your tolerance for allowing this psoting.
Regards
Adrian

Agreed - Thanks Nicolas

Nicolas, thanks for the second opinion. The ref on the back seemed weird as did the quality of the finish. While I am generally against posting comments about auction pieces, in this case I think to actual raise this particular item in this discrete forum...
