Wow Mel. The only problem I see is figuring out what side to face out. Awesome present. Congrats.
That’s class!

Do you want the 18k Gold with Black dial or the Stainless Steel with Blue dial?
They are both gorgeous!

To be honest, I want both! I’m a sucker for rose gold—it’s my favorite type of gold. However, the black dial on yours doesn’t seem to have as much contrast as I would like, making it difficult to read. Perhaps it’s just the lighting in your photo? Because the chrono side is absolutely stunning! I also love Sameer’s @Chopra SS with that blue strap. I just need to put my hands on one and see how it fits on my wrist. Then, I can make a better decision.

Definitely try it on. It wears big because it is a Grande Reverso and not the normal sized Reverso.
Works for me as I have 7.5 inch wrists - the normal Reversos are a bit too small on my wrist.
The blue is truly gorgeous. My wife was pushing me to purchase the blue as well as the black. She's great...I just wanted to keep some powder dry for what I might see this year in Geneva at W&W.
I'll see if I can get a better shot of the black dial...hard to get it right under the bright bar lights. Always a challenge with a black sunray dial and rose gold hands.

I’m really glad you made the point about it size. Because I thought it looked a little bigger than a normal Reverso, but I wasn’t sure. I’m gonna need to watch some videos about it and read some reviews. I haven’t looked into the specs as much as I normally would for a potential purchase so I need to do that and get a better lay of the land.
If there’s anyway you can perhaps try and take a picture of it with some natural sunlight that would help me out a little bit. But I’m also sure I can find some media online that can help show me tht dial. Thanks for your lengthy response, my friend. Have a wonderful evening.

Hello Paul - apologies for the delay...here is a better photo of what the watch looks like normally when it is not under the bright bar lights...
Much better delineation of the hands from the dial. That being said, I'm sure it will react differently in bright sunlight.
Hope that helps!

That helps a lot, Mel. Thank you so much, my friend. I really need to get to a JLC Boutique and hopefully they have one for me to check out. Enjoy your weekend!
