Congratulations, it seems to fit your wrist very well. Mind sharing the circumference? [nt]

No problem there. My wrist measures 6.5" and this GRUT fits it just fine as you say. [nt]

I think this is THE nicest...
non-date Duo so far! I really like the thinner crown and the recessed pusher. THE ONLY complaint I have is that the "Day/Night" should have read "AM/PM," given the location next to the 24-hour dial (or the 24-hour track should have been spun 90 degrees to align properly - like it does on the original).
Excellent pics, excellent watch.

I remember very well your observation at the time the watch was introduced.
I totally agree with you. They should have rotated the 24-hour track!
Between "AM/PM" and "Day/Night", I find the latter to be more, how do I say, classical?
In any case, this is how the Manufacture decided to release it and it is either this minor imperfection or no Duoface in collection at all for me.
Thank you for appreciating my pics. These macros are so difficult to take! A lot of "retries" were involved.

Your´re on a roll, Ruckdee!
Congratulations, my friend! I am extremely happy for you! With this one and your recent PO GMT, any grown man would be weak in the knees .
.I look forward in seeing this one along the rest in one of the exotic locations you have been known to visit.
Hope all things go smoothly with the 976.
Cheers,
Alex
On a roll but not intentionally so, Alex. They both simply arrived too early!
I thought I would have three more months to collect payments from my customers. Now I have to pay with money I could otherwise have used to invest in mutual funds and such.
And speaking of "weak knees", I am sure that will be me when the credit card statement arrives next week. Ha ha.
The 976 deal is confirmed today. I will hand buyer the watch next Thursday. One problem solved!
Thank you very much, Alex, for your kind words as always.

Very nice Ruckdee....
I like the dials.The white dial is simple and elegant and matched by a nice black dial on the reverse. IMHO it will complement your other reversos very well. When we next meet we will try for some JLC photos on our left and right wrists
It seems the watch manufactures are delivering all the new releases to the customers el pronto compared to previous years.
Congrats and wear it well .
Cheers,dreamer
That is one brilliant idea. We should do exactly that.
And I agree with your observation. Watches are quick to arrive this year for some reasons. In my case, too quick!

That is some serious unboxing! :)
Huge congrats, my friend!
I am very happy for you, Ruckdee!
Your Reverso collection is stunning!

Thank you for joining in! And while it is not exactly stunning yet...
...I feel that in some ways it is growing in the right direction to the point where it is one-third as stunning as yours many, many years from now.

Great report, and congrats!
Wonderful photos of a wonderful watch! I have you "surrounded" a bit, as my first JLC was the original Duo with ostrich strap, and I now own both the Reverso Grande GMT and the Ultra Thin 1931 TTR US Edition.
Hope you enjoy!
Best,

Wow ... we really have similar tastes. I did eye the first two pieces you mentioned.
Thank you, Gary, for the compliment on the pics.

Superb piece!
That's a really beautiful Reverso, Ruckdee. One that has a lot of subtlety and understated elegance and you pull it off well on the wrist also. I've seen it in the flesh a good number of times but sadly, the size doesn't sit so well on my small wrist. A legend in the making is my view.
And I fully agree with you on the friendship here that binds all things. The different collections displayed here amazes me all the time, and it's the fact that I probably will be homeless if I tried to "keep up" that stops me Enjoying its passion what we can get that speaks to us, and have the support of the greater community here, regardless of the "leagues" that are played in is what keeps me coming back for more. We all go through these wallet busting periods in this crazy hobby, but it's all worth it

Very well said on all points, Richard. And thank you especially for the consolation...
...you offer on my self-inflicted financial difficulty. It is really worth it as you say. I will post more wristshots of this watch as soon as I have the chance to take them on locations.

Great watch, An Icon.
Reverso is a unique collection in the watch making and the new duoface is just stunning.

Many thanks, Stefan. I have worn the watch only two times since I got it. Curse the rain! [nt]

Very belated congrats Ruckdee. I saw this model for the first time this weekend, I can't
stop thinking about it. It's something to behold in the metal!
