Well, Respo, several things...
As for the lack of see through case back, this is indeed very easily understable.
First, it would augment the thickness of the watch, which was the main critic on the XGT case.
Then, it would not be faithful to the spirit of the original Reverso 1931.
So, I think that it is a great move.
Yes, the XGT case is smaller than the Grande 976: 2mm x 0, 75 mm less.
The respective thickness of theses watches is important, too: 7, 2 mm for the TT 1931, 12 mm for the XGT, and 9, 7 mm for the Grande 976.
AFAIK, this is a LE of 1931 pieces, so if you want one, you will get one.
Now what do I think?
I'm very enthusiast on these LEs ( I didn't see, yet, the non LE version ).
I want to see it in the flesh, and have a precise idea on the dial.
So, I will come back to this watch, for sure, and will give you my definitive thoughts on it, but a very positive " a priori ".
Best,
Nicolas
Anyone interested in the 2011 JLC Novelties, here?
Well, my friends, I just have been authorized to share with you an exciting, very exciting news. This is a topic we discussed very recently. It was about what you hoped to see in a very popular line, next year. Any guess here? One hint: It is a rectangula...
the wait is finally over?!
Mr Nicholas I would be very happy if you could show me a picture. Maybe as an early christmas present? regards MR
Yes, please! Oui, s'il vous plaît! Sí, por favor!
C'mon Vlad! Spill the beans, please! I have a very good feeling about this revelation. Don't keep me waiting, brother! Take pity! Daos
NICO!
PLEASE - DON'T MAKE OUR LIFES MISERABLE. Let's see the photos and discuss what ever it is N O W ! Best, Kari
That is stupid, I don't remember where I stocked the pics...
But let me tell you, you will be very happy!!! Veeeery happy! Well, I will try my best to find these bloody pictures... They are so beautiful. Best, Nicolas
Are you talking about this ?

Would a visit of some of my Russian friends help?
They could perhaps fresh your memory and help you find the bloody pictures... NOW, please. Best, Kari

Good old methods
are somethimes the best. Let's see if this yields any real results. I am hoping that it will. Regards, George
Well, I always mess when I'm under pressure. :)))
Where are these bloody pics? Aaah, I think I just found them... Wait, someone is ringing at my door. Best, Nicolas.
I agree with you, allow me to share the images, and let's talk ;-)
Let's welcome and enjoy the Reverso UltraThin Classic (Tribute to 1931) that will undoubtedly seduce many of us ;-) This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-12-02 11:26:49 This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-12-02 11:29:20...
Whew!
The Manufacture did good! Simple was the way to go. I love that the dial only reads"Reverso" as if to indicate this watch is so iconic it can dispense with mention of the manufacturer's name altogether. I love the black dial version in particular. I am a ...

All good
Yes, that is limited but not terribly so. 1931 pieces is a generous number. This should be a democratic special edition, after all. I am eager to see the non-limited regular production version, too. The thickness sounds very nice. The thickness on the 976...
Now
Now, tell us now what the deal is. Pictures, can we have pictures??? Best regards, George
Oh NicoVlad.....spill.....
always interested in little bit of info from JLC..!!! How many treats are we expecting next year for the anniversary..?? Yours my cheeky friend, Andy.
One hour till midnight in Tallinn
and soon Igor and Vladimir will jump to the Paris plane... Kari
Vlad…
Have you made it your goal this week to break us all to pieces this week?! I don’t know if I can take more after the Memo post… Since that post I have had problem concentrating and hardly slept at all… Best, my friend Blomman
Sleepless nights are my speciality, Blomman.
Wait a bit, you won't be deceived! Another target for you, my friend. Do we bet? Best, 666.
He, he…
After recent events – all I have left to bet is a pack of ramen nodules… Best, my friend Blomman
I AM NOT IN A HURRY ANYMORE
as I allocated all my free funds a few minutes ago. While waiting for Nico, it was puplished that Patek will make a nice Limited Edition to Somazzi in Lugano. I had time to send a message to my banker friend down there and I will fly to Lugano on Sunday, ...
See below, my friend. I had to negociate with your guys who
Didn't come from Russia, but from Tchetchenia... It took me a bit longer to negociate with them, but now, they are back to your home. Aaah, and they weren't very happy... By the way. Best, Nicolas.
No problems,
there is a lot of vodka in my house. Let's hope that they will not drink the bottle I was planning to bring to you on the 18th. But I am sure that you don't like to drink your vodka with caviar. Best, Kari PS. You did not tell what is the 3rd version of t...
Hey, calm down with MY bottle! :)
The 3rd version, from what I understood, will have a case of the same size, but with a silver guilloché dial. A bit big for your delicious GF. See you soon, my friend, and stay sober! Nicolavich.
Bingo, guys, let me introduce you the Grande Reverso TT 1931.
There are 3 versions, by the way. One is coming with the silver guilloché dial, and 2 LEs in stainless steel, and in Rose Gold. Here are the pictures of the 2 LEs. Rose Gold: Stainless Steel: I will certainly receive more pcis, but here is what I got, for...
Sign me up for!
Sign me up for a SS/black dial! This is wonderful news! My only regret is that I don't have the original... Best, my tormenting friend Blomman PS. I owe you a pack of nodules
Well, I can do something for you, if you also want the original. :)))
Ask and Vlad will find... Best, 666.
Does vlad have access for two?
If so, you will be a good time pissed thanks to great vodka. Best, Kari
I just ordered mine from JLC Paris Boutique by mail
That is what I think about this Reverso. Best, Kari
My dream Reverso
was the SS with black dial. I would have loved to see the watch a little bit smaller but can also live with the bigger one. Best, Kari
well i now have plans for tomorrow
run to the AD and give him a bunch of money to make sure i get one in stainless steel OR, Nicholas you could stop being a vampire and switch to santa Regards MR
Sounds like a good plan, mr.
I mean the watch, not the fact that I turn to Santa... I much prefer my Vlad " Personnage ". I have the feeling these TT 1931 may go quite fast... Best, Nicolas.
i visited several ADs today
when I asked about the watch most of them had no idea about it, but a certain german jewller was aware of it and happily took my details to call me when they first receive information about it, they also said that I should expect a call at around january....
Well, mr ....
I'm in Geneva from the 17th to the 19th of January... Let's say that I will make a first general post about all the JLC novelties on the 20 of January? Yes, your Jeweller will know all about JLC novelties on the 17th of January, with the beginning of the ...
WHAT!!????
No enamel???? Come on you promised me!!! :0) Great release for Manufacture from now on there will be really easy to choose which Reverso to buy ;0))) Best Damjan
Damjan, my good friend...
These will not the the only Reverso to be introduced next year, heeerm, I mean in a few weeks. I hope there will be some place for an enamel dial, my friend. But , for the moment, these 1931 are pretty tempting, don't you think? To be seen in the flesh, b...
Desire & happiness..
- as an absolute aficionado for SS, that is what I /we have been hoping for .. Simple, but elegant; classic but modern again and quiet but whispering: "Get me and enjoy me" .. How long and how difficult it will be ? -- this is one to keep, at least for me...
Well, HS, we have all the life to enjoy and ...
All the death to sleep, so enjoy your sleepless nights! You said it all and very nicely, my friend, about this TT 1931. For me, the size of the XGT was the right one, and this one is a bit narrower, and much thinner. It looks like JLC heard our prays! And...
I find them very attractive !
Can't wait to see the non limited version and of course to see all of them in the metal. I really like that they only write "Reverso" on the dial. It seems logical but it is good to see that logic can sometimes win. Thanks for the news Nico and of course ...
It is a well thought watch, indeed.
Now, I just have to know the price and the availability of these rectangular marvels... Best, Nicolas.
Standing by for more news Nicolas
Beautiful LE's. But I also need to see the normal production version please. Regards, Richard.
As soon as I will know more, I will keep you updated.
Yes, I am curious to see the non LE version, too. And the other surprises from the Grande Maison... Stay tuned, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Back to 1931
The Stainless Steel Tribute with black dial reminds me one of my beloved watch... I am looking forward to seeing its tribute!...
Indeed, Marv.
" Bonne pioche ", mon ami. Back to the roots, which is a thing I love and appreciate a lot. I had the chance to see yours in the flesh, and was stunned by such a beauty. Can't wait to see the TT 1931 in the flesh. All the Best, Nicolas.
The black one is cool!
This might easily out an end to the eternal "which Reverso" question. Is it already out if there will be a metal or a crystal back? Given the thinness of the watch I would assume metal. Really, really nice! So I do not seem to be the only one drifting int...
No see through case back, Martin.
I'm sure about that. I have the feeling it will nicely fill the gap for those who were very happy with the XGT case but wanted a thinner execution. A very serious competitor, for sure. Best, Nicolas.
exquisite elegance...
what more can we say?? thanks for sharing--yet another piece to pine for J
Another Community Watch to become?
When I see all the positive comments on this piece, I start to wonder if it won't be a Community watch... Time will tell! Best, Nicolas.
To be seen in the metal...
...as not all the Reversos I've tried on have felt right on my wrist, BUT I have a very positive feeling about this timepiece! That the watch is thin is a plus, and what to say about the dial on the stainless steel version!? It's perfection, as far as my ...
I too have the feeling that the proportions are ideal, Daos.
This is the dial I want to see it in the flesh, as the picture gives us a good idea on the case, less on the dial. It may really well be my 3rd Reverso! Best, Nicolas.
wonderful
I love the SS one; very elegant but also a bit understated somehow. Btw do I see correctly that those hands and marks are luminous? rgds Robert
It seems so, Robert...
Yes, the hands and indexes seem to be luminous. As on the original version... Best, Nicolas.
Indeed
I saw the original after the TT and was a bit hasty to reply . But it really suits the watch well. It makes me miss my reverso, gone for maintenance. But I fear the TT will be out of my league, as are so many beauties. I have to make my picks very careful...
Crown
The crown also seems to be somewhat thinner/flatter than we have seen recently, but that is hard to confirm from this angle.
Ok, the Ultrathin Reverso
Both are very nice, I like the steel version more, but the RG has a very warm feeling too! Best regards, Baxter
Both versions are exciting Baxter...
The RG has a more " retro " touch, in my opinion. Very warm, and understated, besides the colored gold. The virtues of thin watches! Best, Nicolas.
looks timeless...very classoc
like the SS version more, with the twin 12th hour hour marker.one word "Reverso"....thts just understated elegence. thks fr sharing
truly killing me...
... finally can see these two classic beauties Reverso for this great year of celebration, MJLC really never disappoints us! just talked to my son, which one he likes, he prefers RG, but i would rather like the black dial in SS. actually both are stunning...
I need it Now......Please :-p
Patience isn’t my strong suit plus the JLC bug has bitten me once again. Drew
Will this Reverso also happen to be in platinum and hand-wound, that is all i want to know!
Please be generous mon ami! Maybe even as a ultra small and virtually unknown limited edition?! Stephen This message has been edited by BluNotte on 2010-12-03 05:08:28
