EdipisReks1 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I guarantee you that this watch won't be available in the latter part of 2018, but I think you should go for one! They are limited, but not THAT limited, if you are willing to spend the money. If you would be saving to buy a GRUT, just wait until a Tribute comes up. Three months for the service is no big deal at all, and cheers for buying your brother a watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave R Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'll have to take the chance of that Tribute not being available at the latter part of 2018, although I could get one in May next year and let my brother used it, then get him that Reverso Ultra thin at the back end of 2018.

Dave R Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah that's probably a bad idea, the other thing I could do is hold back with the windows and door for that new building, which would allow me to get that Tribute in November/December this year. With me having that Master Ultra thin, I'm not desperate for that Tribute, but it's a watch I'd definitely like to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never be the person to tell you to make a practical decision, if said decision meant you couldn't buy a watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After giving it some thought, I've decided I'm getting that building completed, then get my brother that Reverso Ultra thin, and take the chance of that Tribute still being available. Now if I hadn't been so stupid getting that Esoteric K-01, in which I lost a lot of money selling it, I'd have had the money to buy both Reversos, have the building done, and still had some spare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave R Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Some photos of what to me is one of the best looking watches, the JLC Jubilee 1833, and with a case thickness of 4.05mm must be one of the thinnest in the world.

HemiSam Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Handsome watch. At that price point, I'd be purchasing something else though. The Royal Oak caught my attention... HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Getting a Tribute though will probably be at the latter part of next year because first a building on the gable end of my bungalow needs to be completed, and second my youngest brother lost his job sometime ago and can't get work anywhere, and he always wanted a Reverso Ultra thin, so I've decided I'm going to buy him a 2788520, which will be in May next year. I would suggest PMing HeadphoneAddict and working out the details on how to handle this situation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought this NATO, I really had to convince myself to spend the money (I paid $192 with tax and shipping, MSRP is $280, which sounds crazy for a NATO strap, right?). I couldn't be more pleased. It's at least 10 times better than the NATO straps I own that cost 1/10th as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
