Saudis are going to order 1,000 of those $100k watches.
The watches are a limited edition of 147! Of course, when demand for such a fine horological specimen outstrips supply, Trump will need to produce watches in pink gold and white gold as well. Maybe platinum for the true high rollers who require nothing but "the best."
I agree with you that a modern version of a Reverso doesn't *have* to lean into the rugged or sporty - but personally I just prefer when they do (but then I feel that most modern Rolexes are too blingy as well). And no faux patina please.The only time she has every done anything of even limited value! Mainly because it didn't requiring thinking or speaking.
I really like it. I'm curious about the new smaller size. I liked the size of the old monoface Tribute, but rectangular watches tend to wear larger than round watches so I'm sure the slightly small case will work better on a lot of wrists.
I didn't mind the small seconds, but this dial is certainly cleaner without it. I love their dark blue dial. It looks stunning in person. I think the only think I didn't like is that weird textured strap, but I know the boutique would happily swap it out or give me an additional alligator strap. I remember they offered to do that in the past when I looked at a Reverso. In addition, I prefer the engine turned engraving style that was previously used on the flat part of the carriage under the watch, rather than this sun ray style engraving they have been using for several years. However, both are small issues.
I like and respect @Kaplan , but I disagree with his assessment of the dial and hands. While we all know the watch's sporting history/origins, I would guess these days the percentage of people actually wearing a Reverso mainly as a sports watch is significantly less than those than wearing a Submariner or Seamaster to dive. I can see that for some people the hands dress it up, and a standard sword shape hand would be more simple. However, I like the dauphine hands far more than the original syringe hands on some of the original Tribute pieces. In addition, I like the applied hour markers so much more than the painted hour markers and faux-tina of earlier models. To me the painted hour markers with faux-tina just seems like sad gimmickry to further tie the watch to its history. Most people interested in a Reverso know it's origins, and don't need faux-tina to be reminded that the design is nearly 100 years old. I also like the applied hour markers more than their Arabic numerals which seem to be the most bland font of all time. Only on a handful of older models such as this WG Sun Moon had a more interesting font for the numerals. It's still a watch I'd need to try on in person, but it's currently my favorite current Reverso.
Most times they use this rather dull font. Below is the same watch in rose gold.
I think they're only using the fabric straps on the monoface models with white dial. All others are on croc or calf straps. Nevertheless, I agree that they need to move away from those cheap (looking not in price) straps.
It's all of the new Reversos that came out the past 2-3 years are on the ugly fabric strap. Only exception is the LE enamel that's like $100k+ or whatever it costs.
Personally, for me the draw is that the monoface is thinner, and it looks and wears differently on the wrist because of that. I find the Duo clunky, and even if one dial is attractive (they always stick it to you with a really bland or ugly dial on the other side).
That's a great watch and a very wearable size! I nearly bought the rose gold version, but went with a RG VC Historiques. I would already have added a rg Sun Moon if it had the same font as the wg.
That's really egregious especiall on the gold and chronograph models.
I don't know if you've handled a Reverso IRL, but those complications make the Reverso absurdly thick and bulky. Maybe you're fine with that, but I'd prefer not to walk around with 13mm of metal sticking off my wrist.
