Dear all
I collected my last watch of 2014 today. My lovely Reverso Duo Bleu, boutique special edition!
My 3rd JLC and 2nd Reverso 
Coincidentally all my 3 JLCs are boutique special editions
Very happy man today. When I decided to get my TT 1948 back in Jul, I was hoping to get the Reverso Duo Bleu but was told it was no longer available in the JLC Boutiques. "Sold out and no longer in production" was the official answer I got.
Still, I didn't give up. PuristS don't give up eh? The hunt continued. Really tough though. This guy doesn't appear for sale easily!
JLC Singapore knows I like this watch and love the blue dial. To their credit.... they recently managed to get a brand new piece for me! I was told it's the LAST piece! (not sure how true but that's what they told me anyway). Doesn't matter, I got what I want and JUST in time for Christmas! 
Some pics to share on my collection story today.
Cheers

Early morning getting ready for work. Decided to wear my Reverso TT 1948 to collect it's brother today
Arrived at JLC boutique... waiting for the Bleu to appear and enjoying a coffee meanwhile.... the 1948 is eager to meet his bro!
More delays.... JLC kept the Bleu in a super safe?? Meanwhile, some snacks....
The box arrived!
The Bleu is here!
Reverso brothers reunited!
On the wrist! The blue lacquered dial is so pretty!
The dual time reverse side. The white guilloche is pretty impressive too. I think I prefer the blue lacquered dial slightly but hey, this dial makes the watch a lot more serious - good for business meetings if the blue is a bit "too fun"
Reverso TT 1948 with Reverso Duo Bleu side by side
Both Special Editions from JLC Boutique.
Wait... there is a last JLC boutique special edition Reverso... which I almost got before I decided on the MUT Perpetual special edition instead...
The Reverso Rouge! Put the 3 together and you get the French colors!
Should I get the Rouge too? I like it but am afraid it's too loud?

Nice theme!
Well Robin you did a nice new move in 2014, it is a very original dial color and must look fantastic in the real. Congratulations and thanks for sharing the experience :) Cheers, Mark
Thanks for joining in my joy Mark!
My iPhone photos don't do the blue dial justice. Will try again with better lighting soon ;) Cheers Robin
You really love JLC, dont' you?
I'm not so keen on square or rectangular shaped watches, but these reversos really look good on your wrist!
Yes I do love JLC Luis.
It started with my MUT perpetual and the love keeps building! I blame the Vlad party... Stefan from Singapore partly.... And mostly I blame myself for being week minded lol! Cheers Robin
Merry Christmas my friend!
Thank you and have a great Christmas and New Year too! Cheers Robin
You miss only one piece for the Grand Slam.
Get this Red! :) Then, take a long breath, and let's study the Duometre league... Huge congratulations, Robin my friend. The Blue, is like the two others, a superb Reverso, but this is the only one to enjoy a friendly complication. Best, NicoVlad.
Thanks Nico!
Yes I love the Rouge... Must admit I love it but am shy to carry it somehow.... Duometre - I still need to spend more time appreciating them. I find them a tad big for me and also not used to the dial design (a bit busy). Movement finishing and design is ...
The QL enamel with its 40, 5 mm case is for you.
As for the Rouge, it is not so show off... I was afraid of that too, and I spent a lovely summer with it, to years ago. Best, my friend. Vlad.
Thanks Nico for your feedback
I went to try the Rouge today again with a matching shirt and jeans and it felt great! Very poisoned indeed. See pic Duometre QL... I need to study it more. JLC Singapore just sold the white enamel one last night after I got the Reverso blue ! Cheers Robi...
The red poison is even stronger than the Geophysic for me!!
Arghh have to resist! So many watches so limited funds! :p Actually Rouge is for you Nico. Red blood color... Vlad likes :p Cheers Robin
Huge congrats! I'm really sorry to learn the blue is gone, very happy they found you one!
I really hope JLC brings this one back. Between the time I learned about it and the next chance I had to visit a boutique, it had disappeared. As far as the red, it's in no way loud. Just very, very charming.
Agree the boutique staff in Singapore shared the same sentiment
They hope JLC produces more of the Reverso blue as it sells very well. The Rouge.... Maybe someday! :) Agree it's charming! Cheers Robin
Congrats my bro!
I am aware how much you loved this piece, and how happy you are to get it. And understandably so, it's an astounding piece. Enjoy it and wear it in the best of health!
Thanks Bro Dylan!!
Yes sorry I have been bugging you with this piece so often the past few weeks lol! Now I finally got it! A chapter of my watch life closed haha Thanks for being a part of this journey bro! Cheers Robin
No apologies needed,
as I am greatly honoured to be a part of your journey, and hopefully many more to come. Enjoy it!
Thank you bro :)
Likewise I was proud to be part of your Geophysic journey :) Cheers Robin
Thank you Constantin!
Agree the blue dial is very special... Now I'm thinking of the red one lol! Cheers Robin
Definitely agree with you!
I love blue dials but this blue is just so special! Not too bling yet not too sober Just nice Cheers Robin
Congrats on your blue X-mas watch.
Very nice pictures. Enjoy your collection and...happy holidays. Ciao, Bobbe
I knew it!!!
Hi, Robin. Congratulations on your another great catch. I am very happy for you that you finally got the Bleu. To be honest, I was somehow expecting that the Bleu was coming to you, though. JLC Boutique Singapore did a very good job with a perfect timing....
The Rouge!!! Is on my mind always :)
Should I get it? Thank you for your kind words Cheers Robin ...
Lol! I have become a mini Vlad?! :p
Resistance is not good for the health, my friend (quoting the Vlad) :p Cheers Robin
You have beautiful assistants for a help!!! :)
Hi, Robin. Started with the beautiful Bleu, it seems now the Rouge is taking more space. :) The photos of the Rouge are so cool. AS far as I remember, the Rouge was always within your sight when you made decisions for all your JLCs . So it would be a good...
Merry Christmas T!
Yes I'm consulting my Bleu, 1948 and MUT PC on whether they will accept the Rouge into the family :p Cheers Robin
Great choice, Robin! :)
Congrats! :) Must say that I find this Blue even better than the Red... Sits much better on the wrist for me + the second time zone. Best, my friend Blomman
Thank you Blomman!
I agree the blue with a thicker case actually sits better on the wrist now that you mentioned :) Cheers my friend Robin
Nice Duo Bleu there bro
and fits you perfectly. I think the Rouge addition would complete your collection and I think you should be able to carry it off.. being unique and flamboyant.. with a touch of "edgyness". Cheers Bro !
Congratulations, Robin. Should get the Rouge as well...
Red, white and blue is also the color of America :)) Rgds Raymond
Thanks Raymond! Actually red and white...
Is the color for Singapore's national flag. Maybe I really need the rouge! :p Cheers Robin
Looks like you were on Santa's good boy list.
No naughty boy here. Another winner and feather in your cap. So much class, elegance and history wrapped in such a small parcel. Merry Christmas. Bill
Thanks Bill!
It's indeed elegant and cool both in one! Elegant white dial and cool blue dial! :) Thank you for your kind wishes and merry Christmas to you too! Cheers Robin
Amazing watch...
... and a fine addition to your growing JLC collection. Two thumbs up bro!!
Thanks Bro!
Next gtg I bring this? ;) You bring your new Lange! Looking forward to seeing you guys again! Cheers Robin
Big congrats my friend for this superb addition
and a Merry Christmas to you and all your dears. Best, Mike
Congrats Robin on your 2014 X'mas present to...
your TT 1948 !! He must be very happy to have this brother joining the family. The Bleu IMO is perfect for business meetings as it brings some life to discussions while not being loud or too bright. The Rouge would be an interesting addition and would be ...
Happy Holidays Gordon!
Lol the way you put it! :) So I got my 1948 a playmate :) Maybe the 1948 and Bleu now wants the Rouge to join them! :p Merry Christmas my friend! Cheers Robin
Many congrats!
Many congrats robin and looking to more pics of this beautiful blue!!! Happy 2015 to all here too!
Thank you Seeks! :)
It's a pure joy to admire this beautiful blue dial indeed! Have a blessed Christmas and new year too! :) Cheers Robin
