Whilst not my cup of tea, I can certainly appreciate what a stunning timepiece this is.

Many congratulations.

thank you for posting such an interesting review.
all three are beautiful, but i think i like your latest acquisition the most.

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Wow.....

All 3 are beautiful.

I have to say though that I prefer the 2 with numerals on the dial. Not entirely sure about the shape of the markers on the middle one.

Amazing set of pictures of your Reverso's.

I am definitely a fan of rectangular watches - might have to thin the collection down to see about a JLC.

Bjorn's collection is one that I not only admire, I would love to wear every single one (well, those that he has displayed on this forum).

While I admire, for instance, downer's collection or Dancematt's Seikos and vintages, or gaf's amazing Omegas, it's an objective admiration in the sense that not every watch in their collection is something I would wear personally.

The middle one is the Tribute To 1931, an anniversay model very closely based on a model from 1931 - the very first year of the line. It is only 7,3 mm thick.

Oh, and you obviously have impeccable taste Asqwerth! :lol:

I can only echo what others have said - what a wonderful collection!

None of them is something I'd aspire to owning personally but I can certainly admire from afar and your latest acquisition completes a beautiful trio.
I am not a collector of watches. I used to be able to say that and know I was telling the truth.

I really do like that 1931 Tribute you have. I also like the 1948 model as well.
