The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[chocomallo]

Love it. Seriously thinking about adding a 5817st myself, classic silver or black or blue.

Thoughts @Ebitdaddy? Our Breguet specialist.

Ebitdaddy deals Breguet watches to the fentanyl zombies in Vancouver, near the steam clock. Buy the seller…

My gf brought me some straps from the boutique and I'm wondering which is the best option: the blue shell cordovan, blue canvas, or the brown gator. What yall think? View attachment 2303857 View attachment 2303859 View attachment 2303861

That's not cordovan - JLC no longer makes them. Brown croc is best of the 3.

I love the blue leather strap and the brown alligator strap. I am not a fan of their canvas straps. To me their canvas straps are the equivalent of acid wash jorts. JLC is trying way too hard to make the Reverso more casual than it is. It's like Patek with their denim style straps, in my eyes it just doesn't work.

Still, I love your new Reverso and the other 2 straps look fantastic with it. Cheers

1. Brown gator
2. Blue leather
3. Trash the blue canvas. Doesn't belong on a gold Reverso.

Agree with both. The canvas is totally out of place with that watch. Maybe if it were stainless steel, but gold? No.

Any dressier watch deserves gator, brown or black. And for my tastes, dressier watches or any watch for that matter, enjoy a deployant.

This is a poor man's watch thread post but Longines' JLC master thin moonphase ripoff, the heritage flagship moonphase, is awesome. Probably a little too thick for the youtube watch commentariat's liking but for like $2400 after discount, I could live with it. Trying to get them to send me one to take to Pitti to see how I like it for more than just a few minutes in an AD.

Thats good to know

 

[acconrad]

is the duofaced reverso chronograph also a GMT (because the 2nd face can operate on a different timezone like the other day/night reversos?)

 

[symphvaria]

If you want a cordovan strap you’ll have to go direct through Casa Fagliano, be prepared to pay around $500 for it though.

Nope

 

[NakedYoga]

Nope

That is an interesting question. Do both dials/handsets move at the same time?
