Title: Which is the most accurate historic hands for the JLC Tribute to 1931 Reverso?
Post by: mykita on August 30, 2012, 10:49:49 PM

I really love the TTR 1931. I remember looking at the JLC catalogue thinking this would be the one. That said I was browsing through the JLC Grande Maison book and noticed the hands of the original reverso is much closer to the TTR 1931 US Edition. It had the same straight hands with pointed tips instead of the sword hands. I have searched on the internet but I could not find anything. I suppose there could be the possiblity the original reverso had two sets of hands but it is killing me to know. As such I have to ask knows which TTR 1931 has the most accurate historic hands. Appreciate it.

From the old 1930s catalogue I've seen. It seems the hands from TT 1931 is more accurate representing the old classic.

The interesting here is, the font of "REVERSO" from the TT 1931 US is more accurate than the normal TT 1931. Funny huh  ???

Thanks Tyler. I suspect they knew they could make a limited edition and decided to have different fonts. Those watch boys are too strategic sometimes. Do you have pictures of those 1930s catalogue?
