I remember making casual remarks on my wish for a new Reverso with calendar and moonphase functions a few times here and one time on the JLC facebook page before SIHH 2011. One year later, my wish came true at the SIHH 2012. And nine months from then, my ...  

Sport/chic, very nice dial and bravo for the pictures, very nice. Kind regards. Francois

I like the beginning on the story with the expression of your dream and of course... the outcome! These pictures are really superb! Congrats for this great watch, one of my fav 2012 novelties for sure. Fx

You must be ecstatic Ruckdee.:) That is indeed a dream Reverso - big congrats! fernando

...then when it was delivered. Not that anything is wrong with the physical execution of the watch. One possible reason is that it is not my first Reverso and I have had the Master Moon previously. This new acquisition is merely a combination of form I al... 

Could you please order me the same in perpetual form plus a Patek 5170 made of steel and with a very dark blue dial. Thanks in advance! Best, Kari

...I can think of one watch that may satisfy your craving for a dark blue Patek 5170 at least momentarily. It may be a lesser watch but at a fraction of the price of the 5170 it shouldn't be too bad a deal I believe. Ruckdee

I remember when this one came out: it was really attracting, especially because of the calendar poistionning and style. It is a beautiful JLC and if I had to choose a Reverso it would probably be this one. Congratulations Ruckdee ;) Cheers, Mark

...local boutique/AD to see if it will win your heart as your first Reverso. Ruckdee

Watch looks great on your wrist and your macros shots are very good. Shows off the beauty of this watch .What new camera did you get and what macro lens ? You must be one of the first to receive this. Enjoy it Ruckdee. Cheers,dreamer

It is a more affordable Nikon D7000 to replace my six years old D200 whose repair bills are killing me. Macro shots were taken with Nikon 105/2.8 I already had but did not use much. Glad to hear you like the watch, dreamer. Ruckdee

i've been seeing this in the 2012 catalogues online and this really caught my eye. boy it does look fantastic! a reverso with calendar and moonphase, how sweet is that? i want this too!!!

These things are addictive indeed. And it appears they like to attract more of their friends to come home with you :P Ruckdee

the few pieces of SIHH 2012 that made me really curious. The fact that JLC offers models in SS is in many ways a good thing, as it offers some value, as one cannot always splurge on gold. I find the piece really interesting, and it is huge on my wish list... 

But I am not in the financial position to buy any new gold watch. Besides, after doing the math, I concluded that the price for one rose gold Grande Reverso Calendar is roughly the same as one stainless steel Grande Reverso Calendar plus one stainless ste...  

...over the version in Gold. I find the version in Gold hard to justify myself, especially when the SS is so beautiful. I find 70-80% of watch designs today (especially aesthetics) absolutely horrendous (I won't name those brands), and have no clue how th... 

Most of my friends say I am a bit old fashioned and conservative beyond my years though. We seem to be in a very similar position. As for variety in watch designs, I find many to be very curious but if they please a certain group of buyers then that's goo... 

It is so good to see a friend making his dream come true. Your pictures are superb, as well as the watch. I can imagine how happy you are! Stay tuned for the 2013 novelties... Best, Nicolas

Thank you for your compliment on the photo. I'm glad to be able to contribute to the forum once in a while. Ruckdee

A pleasure to see you contributing with this levell of quality. Best, Nicolas

Until you posted this, I had forgotten about this new Reverso. It is such lovely watch. This is indeed a great addition to the Reverso lineup. I love the display caseback as well. It is a nice movement to see and it framed very well. Congratulations! Best... 

I feared that it was going to come out looking silly too with smaller movement. But the manufacture managed to frame it so perfectly that the appendage seems integrated as one with the mechanical heart in the center. Ruckdee

Awesome pictures of a dream watch! I am sure you will enjoy it dearly! All the best, Alex

...compete with the Grande Reverso Calendar in addition to the IWC Portuguese. What a sweet problem to have, right? Thank you for stopping by to say hi, Alex. Ruckdee

Personally, my only gripe is that I find the apertures "a little" too small, but understand their sizing due to the case width and movement dimensions. Congrats, Ruckdee! -Dean

And as you say, this is the largest possible in this case and movement sizes. I especially like how the moonphase subdial is sunken into different steps. That characteristic of the watch is not instantly noticeable in the standard mugshot on the JLC web s... 

Hi there, good day. Congrats on a beautiful Reverso, size and dial proportion made to perfection. Good to see this size is still in favor to some. Now they have a gold touch to the jl logo on the dial, small detail but nice to see. Regards Jacky

And then when I saw it in person, I had mixed feelings with it until my salesperson suggested that it is a good match to the golden moon. Very good thinking on her part I must say. Ruckdee

It just shows that wishes do come true! As they say wear it in the best of health, congrats Ruckdee! -MW

now you got 2 to choose! cheers PAt

Congratulatons, very nice shots. It seem like JLC made this watch to your order.

...probably resonates with what JLC believes could be a hotseller in the stable :D See you around sometimes na krub Khun Tong. Ruckdee

This is my favorite reverso in the current lineup - AMAZING pictures as well!

Certainly I forgot to leave a room with a white wall in my house when building it. That is why I always have problems with yellowish color cast from the wallpaper. I hope my shots don't make the watch less attractive to anyone :D Ruckdee

I LOVE this piece, just not in a position to get it YET..... :( do you think the bracelet from the 976 will fit this?? once again many many hearty congrats to you mate :) Best Imran

...I think this piece is a must for you, Imran. I'm quite sure you will like it. As for interchangeability of strap with the 976, it looks to be possible but let me find a ruler to measure the width properly first. And thank you for your kind congratulati... 

Fantastic. Congratulations. LOVE IT!!!

That's really nice complete watch design. But I'm already fall in love with the BACK case. What's a classic Calibre!!! Nice...

Luckily, I did it in the privacy of my bedroom so nobody could have seen that awkward moment. Thank you for your kind words. I'm sure you will get one of this model eventually. Ruckdee

Amazing close up shots of a beautiful piece. Wear it in good health.

Thank you for your kind words. Ruckdee

Stunning piece! Huge congratulation, Ruckdee! :) A absolute beautiful watch. Best, my friend Blomman

I don't wear it often. But when I don't, I place it on my work desk near my Atmos so I can see it. My doctor surely will increase the dosage at our next appointment :P Ruckdee
