I read on the website the history of why they chose the Rouge dial for this Reverso... pretty interesting.

...On a burgundy strap with matching shoes and a blue suit. The ladies will throw themselves at me.

That being said, I had a friend that had a recent JLC Memovox a few years ago. He said aside from the historic value of the alarm function, he really found little use for it compared to other watch functions and he tired of it and sold it after a year.

the alarm function is such a cool feature, although i don't think you really use it in irl. we carry enough gadgets around, which fullfil this better. it's more, when people ask you, why there are two crowns...

I think its a bad photo of it - but yea I think a lighter brown would have been nicer.

i don't see a leather strap on this watch. different strokes. no offense

Different strokes indeed. I've always liked leather straps. Am looking for one on my Sub 16610 (only because a 5513 looks better on a NATO strap)

That Reverso is incredible. Wish I got one instead of an IWC.
