Yes Reverso shapes are among the greatest
there are also a couple of Reverso I'd love to own; Reverso Chronograph Retrograde, Reverso Grande GMT, Reverso Night & Day in white gold etc..
I think this is a pity the new oritentation given by JLC headquarter to this lineup... larger cases, less funny complications and now automatic caliber.... :-(
Duo Aniversary
Hi All Thought I post a few shots of my Reverso Duo _ its 15 years today since I got it. I have to say that its rather more since I started to think about getting one. This was my first JLC and took about 4 years of umming and ahhing about which Reverso t...
The Duo is, IMHO, "The true reverso" ...
I, or should I say we, like this watch so much that when my wife "confiscated" mine (she is a Purist in the making), I got another one. Congratulations for your 15th anniversary of your Reverso Duo. I wish many and many years more with it. Cheers, Nilo
Two dials
Hi I couldn't agree more - two dials just seems to sit so well with it. The implementation is so elegant too. Love the fact you can change the mood of whats on your wrist just by flipping it over. Thanks JML
And the very good thing, with this first generation, is...
The integrated pusher... Not disgracious. This is the detail I regret on the current Duos. As for the strap, no worries, the ostrich is a classic. You will find it without issue, when you want to change it... If you want to change it. Best, Nicolas
I'm biased
Hi I know I'm biased, but agree he integrated pusher is more elegant. It might not be as functional or easy to use - the second gen button distracts from what is a very elegant watch. Its a pity that the all crown driven solution of the bigger model (Gran...
A timeless classic!
One thing I like on this watch - that the new iterations don't have correctly, IMHO - is that the subdial with "day" and "night" is correctly aligned on each side of the 6-to-18 hours. Keep on sporting it - it says that you are a man of good taste. -Dean
The dark side of a Reverso
Hi Thanks - I really like the flip side too. There's lots of interest to the alternate timezone dial. As I said, just flipping the dial over totally changes the character of the watch you have on your wrist. Cheers JML
Inspiring!
Fifteen years! I barely had mine for 4 months =) Even though I have the current model, I must admit that the discontinued version has nicer guilloche patterns on the dial and a cleaner look without the pusher! Here's to another fifteen more years! J
Enjoy yours too
Hi Thanks. I hope you can enjoy yours for an equally long period. Cheers JML
happy anniversary
My "disgracious" and I just celebrated our second year of cohabitation ...
Enjoy wearing it
Hi Great shot. Enjoy wearing it. All Reversos are great - after that it's down to preference. If I had the funds there's another two or three that I'd rather like, including a couple of the 60th anniversary versions Cheers JML

Great macro of the dial
Hi That shot really shows the details of the guilloche on the dial. Cheers Jml
Congrats!
As a fellow owner of this "older" Duo, I share your joy in ownership. It was my first modern JLC, and my first Reverso too, though I started on my JLC journey much later than you. You\'re right about the honey gold ostrich strap developing a patina over t...
Enjoy yours
Hi However you get hold of one - it's always good to have a Reverso. My Duo is the only JLC that I bought new. Think there's a lot more life in the strap yet so don't need to worry about changing it just yet. Yeah Ostrich straps do start off v light in co...
