Thank you!
Oh, I hope I did not offend you - or anyone - when I said "(as long as it does not date back to the 1950 or earlier)" - now that I hear you own a watch from that period. I would love to see how it looks.
It's just that all the available 2nd hand watches that were older, were in no good condition.
I am sure you take good care of your watch. :smile:

No offence taken. I have it regularly serviced and it seems to be fine thank you, the smallest watch I've ever seen

Lovely-bag, thank you for starting this thread. I've been a long time JLC fan and have collected a few other JLC watches but no reverso as yet.

So I'll just sit back and admire all you lucky ladies [emoji355]️ watches.

I got it! :panic:

The market is not as big as lets say the market for 2nd hand Rolex watches, but there is a steady flow.
I had to wait 1 month until I got the call from my official watch dealer in Vienna.

It is a model from the 1990's, including the original JLC box.
The watch is truly elegant and yes @Purple Jumper I love how it sits on the wrist, too. :love:

I will post pictures soon.

The OP ( me! = finally managed to post photo :smile:)
Nice to here I am not alone with my love for the Reverso.

Tonight I finally managed to take a photo, the Reverso Classique feels just right in my wrist.
We were meant to be together :smile:
Not that I don't like the sturdy stainless steel Rolex. But for days like today, where I spent most of the day in museums and cafés, the Reverso is a wonderful companion.

I can endlessly sit over decisions. Not this time!
Sometimes I get the feeling I was born too late. With the Rolex I deliberately bought a 2nd hand model because the newer designs were chunkier and I like the slimmer, lighter designs better.
Same goes for the Reverso: The Classique (in production until very recently) is a little 1-2mm smaller than the "Classic" in
Medium.

I am wearing the Classique.


PS: Oh, @CrackBerryCream you work for Boulesse? What a nice coincidence! I "know" the wonderful Ms B. from her Blog, glossytimes and remember when she started Boulesse. :smile:) Greetings! :heart:

Hello M.Dressler, nevermind! I am glad, this thread lives. :-)

Your Reverso looks perfect on you too!

An anecdote: last week I met friends after work. They believed that the Reverso has been on my wrist for 1 year if not longer - not because they weren't attentive, BUT: Because the watch is "so me".
:yes:

The Reverso is probably the most noble piece of luxury I've ever owned. Noble, because it is quiet and does not see for attention. It's just there. In its perfection. :love::heart:
