However, as its a style your father used (hence you already know how your initials will look in that style), family tradition is as good a reason as any to choose a particular monogram style.

No miring of the thread at all...in fact I think you brought attention to a great tradition involving the Reverso.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

We spend a lot of time on this site discussing various strap options. In all honesty, if you pick a strap and you don' like it, your out some $$ but its quick and easy to fix. Choosing an engraving that you will enjoy for the rest of your life and pass on to future generations, well thats a far more important issue as its not a quick, easy fix if you change your mind later. So I'm really glad you brought up this topic. I actually spent a bit of time going through various options on Mr. Randell's site and contemplated what I would do if I made a Reverso my next watch.

The possibilities are impressive!

Do it. We can be Reverso internet e-buddies. I'll get one if you get one. There is some pretty amazing stuff on that site:

super impressive. i have long considered putting an engraving on mine on the back plate. i just cant figure out what i would want. its very nice to hear about people actually having engravings done on their reversos.

Wearing this one today.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

lovely as ever.

put your initials on a reverso and it becomes more personal and something you likely will not willingly part with for a very long time.

Lol your ability to part with it likely won't have as much to do with willingness as finding someone with the same initials and a wad of cash!

That one was my favorite on that site. Almost makes me wish my Reverso had a solid back (I have the Grande GMT). If I get a 1931 tribute Reverso, I will certainly consider this.

Love it! Like the red backing on the strap too

Great offer! A Reverso internet e-buddy sounds fun. Wish I could take you up on it immediately, but I have to wait a while as I think my wife might be rather annoyed if I bought another watch so soon after she bought me an AP RO. However, we'ved looked at Reversos before and I know she thinks the Reverso is a super cool design & she loves the idea of me having the back engraved and personalized. So it won't be a tough to get her on board! It gives me time to figure out what I would want to put on the back.

Anyone have an idea of what Mr. Randell's engravings start at? I know the more intricate and time consuming the more it costs, just curious.

A strap change.




A wrist shot.



And a new pickup.

I am sure to the Panny WIS types those watches are totally different but to me they look the same. Nice though.

elisiX - good swap, i like the lighter band a lot more. great watch. i really wanted that one badly.

 

[elisiX]

Thanks. I've had this strap on my 311 before also (Micah's Duroval) and it rocks.

Cool 8day tool watch! It looks like it digs into your hand,"ouch." I did try this particular 1 on and it only felt comfortable over a sleeve,I need that extra space off the wrist!

 

[elisiX]

It was just the shot - the watch never dug into my wrist. Though you are a true Paneristi when you have a scar at the base of your hand

Another shot on the same strap.




I've been a fan for a few years now. Though not far back enough to have made a killing like some others have.

The 359 is another of my favourites which I think is very underrated.
