Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph watch for a while now. It’s a classic, you know? I finally decided to pull the trigger and get it. Let me tell you, it was a whole process, but totally worth it.
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I wanted the original order, not some knockoff. I read somewhere that JLC watches are a good investment, so I figured, why not? Plus, the Reverso is kind of a big deal – they even made a book for its 90th birthday. Fancy, right?
Now, finding this specific model wasn’t a walk in the park. I mean, it’s not like finding an old watch in your dad’s drawer. This one, the ref. Q389848J, is a chronograph, which is apparently hard to make in a rectangle shape. Anyway, I finally tracked down a seller who had the original order.
The waiting game was the worst. I was so pumped to get my hands on this thing. When it finally arrived, I carefully opened the box, and there it was, looking all shiny and new. It’s inspired by the 1931 design, which is pretty cool if you ask me.
- I strapped it on my wrist, and man, it felt good.
- It’s not just a fancy watch; it’s actually quite thin, like 7.2mm.
- I spent the whole afternoon just admiring it, flipping it back and forth.
This Reverso, it’s not just a watch; it’s like a piece of history. I’ve been wearing it with everything – jeans, sneakers, even a polo shirt. Some people say it’s a mature person’s watch, and maybe I’m finally mature enough. Or maybe I’m just trying to convince myself it was worth the money.
It was a bit of a splurge, but I think it’s a good investment.
I’ve heard they hold their value well. I guess time will tell, right?
Yeah so far, I’m really happy with it. It’s a solid watch, and it makes me feel like a million bucks, even if I’m just wearing it to the grocery store.
So thats pretty much it, just thought I share my little adventure with you guys. It wasn’t easy, but I got there in the end and I’m happy.
