This one just off the truck. A LNIB specimen. My first JLC and I'm in love. Now the question is whether to stay on the waiting list for the Duoface Bleu which will be very similar.

mfer · 17 July 2013, 06:24 AM

love it

Ramiks · 17 July 2013, 06:35 AM

Congrats very nice

TSW · 17 July 2013, 06:37 AM

My favorite Reverso!

zeuloa · 17 July 2013, 06:38 AM

Love it specially with that Fagliano strap!

What size is your wrist?

incontrol · 17 July 2013, 06:56 AM

Beautiful watch! Almost bought one of these! Congrats and enjoy it!

I'm at 6.75" but pretty flat. I can wear just about anything under 47mm without it looking foolish. I must say, the Reverso is VERY thin and light...the perfect dress watch for tucking under a shirt cuff.

kilyung · 17 July 2013, 04:44 PM

Congrats Raf! It's a great piece. It's also a great casual watch. I've often debated whether to pursue the blue, red, and silver models to add to mine.

PS: wanna sell that brown Fagliano strap?

malarky_hk · 17 July 2013, 10:37 PM

Congrats...beautiful timeless piece!

You are responsible for many of my impulse purchases! Can't blame you for this one though. I had my eye on it for about a year but was too late to the dance. 70 pieces is not a lot and they flew out of the boutique.

The brown Fagliano on this one is gorgeous. Thicker than the croc strap and the off-color stitch really sets it off. Not for sale! Lol. That being said, I've decided not to wear the brown until I get the Duoface Bleu and decide which to sell, if any.

I know what you mean. I love my black Fagliano. I need to find someone who can replicate me these straps.

You know, I was thinking the same yesterday as I examined the strap. I mean, it's beautiful, but it doesn't seem like a complex pattern at all. I'm sure one of the Panerai strap makers should be able to come pretty damn close if given the dimensions and detailed pics. Hmmm...

Have you tried contacting Casa Fagliano? Perhaps they will make something similar as I'm sure they won't be able to make the same exact one legally..

I wonder if you need a new one when the original fagliano needs replacement if JLC will sort one from Fagliano as replacement.

JLC will not sell additional Fagliano straps. When I spoke to Fagliano it was $600 for a replacement strap. Kind of pricey for a simple cordovan strap. I think I'll take some detailed measurements and see if I can find someone to make me one.

lja1821 · 18 July 2013, 09:26 AM

Thats a beautiful piece, congrats.

yuongwee · 24 July 2013, 06:39 PM

Gorgeous on about anyone and any occasion. There is just something about a reverso.. the watch is reversible, your affection for it is not!

jwpatt · 30 July 2013, 03:23 AM

I was just lucky enough to purchase a JLC TTR 1931 US Ed. with the black Casa Fagliano strap from DavidSW. It is beautiful and I would love to add a brown cordovan strap that matches the original Casa Fagliano as closely as possible. I am just curious if anyone has found a source that could replicate the original (or that sells something already made that is close). I prefer the brown to the black, not to mention I would like to have a second strap to wear to help preserve the original.

Presa canary · 30 July 2013, 03:30 AM

Beautiful watch man, congrats

Congrats! I'll take the black Fagliano off your hands.

jwpatt · 30 July 2013, 04:41 AM

I love the black Fagliano, it is a great look, more casual than the croc strap. Maybe it is because of my PAM strap madness mentality, but I would love to add the brown as well.

jvo300 · 31 July 2013, 11:29 AM

I remember seeing a post that the strap maker Cheergiant doing this stitch style on cordovan leather. I can't speak to the quality, but it might be worth someone investigating.

That is pricey... I think they quoted me that for a pair of boots once!

Adding a snap here just because this watch is so awesome. Highly recommended, if you can get your hands on one!

Psmith · 9 November 2013, 09:46 PM

Beautiful piece

Turkish · 21 December 2013, 05:13 AM

Superb review, thanks!

wisguy · 21 December 2013, 07:43 AM

Damn you guys!!!

That is going to be my next watch, I just tried one on last week at it fits great.

I want it for formal wear, but since most of the time I'm more of casual guy I decided to buy a Speedy Pro now and the Reverso later.

I just miss the Speedy too much, never should have sold it.
