Jlc reverso

Dear friends...

I have always liked JLC watches but never actually had to opportunity to buy one. However, in the past I have enjoyed watches that had JLC movements such as Panerai and most recently my AP Jumbo... So I decided I wanted to add a JLC finally to my small collection!

I had a look at the Reverso collection... and must say that I love the look of the watches but just wasn't sure how they look on my wrists as I have never worn this rectangle shape before! So please share your thoughts.

I think I would go for SS version of this collection....

Love the calendar, but I wanted something really thin, a little more dressy, and loved the history behind this watch.

Great watch for the office, just slides under the shirt cuff.

Maybe because I have one and am prejudiced, but I think the 1931 Tribute and its size looks the best on your wrist.

Both look fine. Just adjust them properly for your wrist.

It's surprisingly versatile for casual and dressy

I like the complication of the calendar and the day /date but there is something about that T1931. The simplicity is just awesome.

Tried both and decided on the calendar because of the dial, complication and the display back. The 1931 is smaller and the calendar can wear quite big, both are really nice though. I Ordered it almost 4 weeks ago but got stuck at customs for a week, finally got here last weekend and will be picking it up this week.
Question, are Reversos hand finished and decorated or are they done by machine?
