"New" LeCoultre platinum 8 day

[Jeff Hess]

Ok. I had this beauty in my hands a couple of weeks ago. Took the pics "on the fly" as I only had it in my trembling hands for a few minutes. They are sold out the rep from LeCoultre tells me, so I cannot be accused of shilling here. LOL.

Man, this thing was ike 48 mm long. THe biggest and heviest and baddest Platinum watch I have ever seen or held. HUGE. Two barrels. Eight Day. (One barrel had a moving JL symbol over it...) Just the coolest reverso I have EVER seen. It brought a tear to my eye just holding it. I lobbied the wife for weeks. She finally said "get it" after I told her I would sell it after a year or two. But alas! Too late. All gone. I'm going to cry now. http://www.hessfineart.com/jeff/lec1.jpg http://www.hessfineart.com/jeff/lec2.jpg http://www.hessfineart.com/jeff/lec3.jpg http://www.hessfineart.com/jeff/lec4.jpg http://www.hessfineart.com/jeff/lec5.jpg

Wow,,,,Speaking of Reverso's...Is there a current or fairly new Reverso that is Stainless with black dial, plain back. I want one like the shadow, but with only one dial. I have only seen original Reverso's from the 30s or so with the black dial and plain back, nothing current.

I want an "entry level" ha ha Reverso..Is there such a creature?
