Stainless Steel Fake Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge Watch with Red Dial

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge watch

For the next year, the Swiss watchmaking giant, which is well-known for its high-complication timepiece, but had really become a legend after the introduction of its simple Reverso model, has prepared a defiantly post-modern best fake Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge hand-wound watch: a new version of its limited edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 timepiece that was presented exactly a year ago in December, 2010. However, the lack of any sort of luminous compound makes this watch difficult to read at night. Yes, I understand that the watch is supposed to be worn during office hours and all, but I can still imagine a number of situations where you may need the lume: imagine just for a moment that it the middle of a night, and you are a Russian oligarch traveling in a trunk of a premium sedan to a forest near Moscow. How are you supposed to know what time it is now, huh?

Comparing the specs of the two models, one can infer that the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge is actually the same Tribute to 1931 model that sports a similar, albeit bolder color for its laconic face. Still featuring the same combination of applied hour markers, sword-shaped hands, and a traditional railway-style minute track (it, too, looks like it was fashioned of a metal plate and then applied to the dial in one piece,) the dial is easy to read even in twilight.

According to JLC, the watch is powered by the same JLC Caliber 822 engine with manual winding and comes in the same extra-large stainless steel 27.50 millimeters in width, but whole 46 millimeters long.

There is possibly no use telling how beautiful the model is (any sponsored article or an advertising copy will tell you just that,) but I must admit that the timekeeper indeed looks great with the new face: I truly dig the wine-red color of the lacquered dial with those silver-toned sword-shaped hour markers and the polished sword-shaped hands.

Thanks to the successful choice of caliber, the body of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 copy watch is also quite thin (in fact, it is just a trifle more than 7 millimeters thick,) which makes it look almost razor-sharp compared to most mechanical watches that are usually powered by self-winding movements and tend to be around half an inch thick.

The decoration of the dial and the bezel is also identical to the model presented last year.

Heck! If I would ever decide to spend around $8000 on a rectangular-shaped watch (I am more into round timekeepers, you know,) it would definitely be a Reverso with a red-faced dial: not because there is a “history” behind it, but for the sheer beauty of it! However, I would possibly miss a seconds hand: there is nothing that makes me more nervous about a best quality fake Jaeger-LeCoultre watch as a lack of a seconds hand counting time without stopping.
