My First New Piece of 2014

Just picked up a new grande reverso ultra thin in white gold. Very thin, but with decent weight from the white gold, make for a great combination. My favorite feature of the dial is the white/grey graining that I can't seem to pick up on my iphone

Very nice. I'm getting to like the reverso's more and more. I just need to find one that fits my wrist well. The fist few JLCs I've tried on didn't look right proportionally on me, but they are beautiful watches. Love the pearlization on the dial and the blued hands.

Very nice, glad you got to show that the dial is not a flat white but that beautiful grainy white/silver . . .

Thanks again everyone. It joins my tt 1931 us edition - light and dark dial dress watches, though they can be dressed down pretty easily

Simply stunning and timeless. Perfect example of a Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931, also my favorite dial color of the three. Job well done!

I've thought of doing the same. Love all the various dial options. However the TTR is so good I haven't felt the need for others.
