It is one sweet chocolate i must say. Great pictures man and it fits your wrist perfectly! I agree on the lightness and thinnes of this watch. Its going to be an instant classic. 

It has become my favorite piece as well. Great way to start the new year!

Cheers!

Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Chocolate Ref. 2782560 - Review

 
 By: christianch : January 12th, 2015-10:36
First of all a very happy new year to all the fellow collectors around the world! As many of you I (almost) certainly have way too many watches in my collection yet I decided to start the year with another gift for myself: a Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931...  

Your JLC Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Chocolate is a delight

 
 By: Bill : January 12th, 2015-11:03
The chocolate evokes the vintage feel of a time past. An JLC is doing great work on the strap to keep it historical rich and luxurious but sporty at the same time. Thank you for a great review and enjoy the watch in great health. Bill

Thanks a lot Bill I agree...

That there is something special in the luxurious - sporty combination and this particular model is an excellent example - great idea to have a custom strap that is really special and makes a difference!

Your journey which drove you to go fir the G.R.U.T Chocolate. It is always god to know what drove you to go for a certain Watch. The second part of your nicely written article is the name on the dial. JLC Watches which don't have the name of the company o... 

You share part of the guilt...

 
 By: christianch : January 12th, 2015-11:20
Interesting! In this case I think the original inspiration in steel with the chocolate dial did have the name and in a different position

Yes, I would have preferred a Reverso on the upper part of the dial.

 
 By: amanico : January 12th, 2015-11:22
Like on the original. I find it nicer like this. But not a big deal, IMO. Best, Nicolas

forgot the photo...and about guilt

 
 By: christianch : January 12th, 2015-11:23
Forgot to attach the photo (not mine) the original did have the logo on the dial but I really like this new re-interpretation and the fact that is in rose gold. I also wanted to say that you share part of the "guilt" as I always saw in your posts that you...  

Good idea to post this side by side picture.

Here is another chocolate, I took at the Manufacture. And thank you so much for the kind words. Best, Nicolas ...  

gorgeous photos Nicolas with the risk of going...

Off topic can you tell me which JLC you own ? I saw the photos of your gorgeous platinum one but I would like to know more :)

Thanks, Christian...

 
 By: amanico : January 12th, 2015-13:54
Let's say that I own several JLCs... Reverso Septantieme, Master Minute Repeater, TT DSA US, Amvox II, and a few Vnitage, among others. ;) Best, Nicolas.

That is not really a collection, most an addition of pieces.

 
 By: amanico : January 12th, 2015-13:59
Pièces which I love a lot, by the way, for what they represent / mean to me. Best, Nicolas

Splendid choice.. Timeless icon.. Sincere congrats ! :)

 
 By: hs111 : January 12th, 2015-13:29
.. BTW: can confirm the superb quality of the Fagliano strap; have applied it to my TT Reverso 1931, which resulted in a very nice combo, as well. But your RG has elegance & nice presence. Wear her in the Best of your health !! The elder cousin sends gree...  

thanks you! the elder cousin...

 
 By: christianch : January 12th, 2015-13:38
Is truly gorgeous too and fits well with the la fagliano strap that is indeed very unique and comfortable. Very good idea from JLC - I do love this subtle innovation and re-issue of some reinterpreted iconic pieces in their extensive historical collection... 

Big congrats my friend !

Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1948 - it really fits very well on your wrist. The other Blue JLC is also stunning! Love the size and how light the watch is!

Thanks Christian!

Agree those Reversos are so enjoyable on our wrists Cheers Robin

Reverse?

 
 By: undecided : January 13th, 2015-21:25
Congratulations. Beautiful watch. Do you have time to share the watch in its reversed state?

Solid case back. [nt]
