I finally purchased a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface Medium - 6 Things I Love

I just bought one of my favorite watches, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface Classic Medium size reference Q2458422. The JLC Reverso Duoface Classic Medium fits me similarly like the Cartier Santos Medium. I also go over some Q&A questions about collecting and comparing the Reverso to other watches in this review.

Great points. Duoface has been on my wish list for a while. Too bad they've been increasing prices so drastically.

[@lihanou]

There needs to be a medium tribute douface. the 47-49mm is way too big for most people.

[@MinuteMon]

I agree!

[@alberto_saxo]

Imho the proportions of the bigger models are off even. They seem a tad too bulky and lose some of the understated classiness

[@spencerh26]

@@alberto_saxo yep. Trying on the Monoface vs. Duoface the thickness difference is very obvious. I'm going for the Monoface just for that reason even though the Duo is really cool. Mono just feels classier and fits much better with the thinner case + slightly smaller dimensions (45.6 vs 47).

[@marcolucia12]

Hi guys, is 27mm a right diameter for Him? I know is the smallest but i wanna have a feedback from you. Grazie!!

[@Dark_Asteroid]

Just got mine today. Pictures don't do it justice. Pure class.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Congratulations! You deserve it for this remarkable, exceptional channel.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

Medium is the only way to go. I have this exact piece. I keep it on the brown one now. I never wear this watch formally. Just casual. It’s an extreme scratch magnet. As a modern Santos owner you’ll know what to expect.

[@WatchesBeAwesome]

Congratulations! I love these! The duoface is where it's at!

[@MinuteMon]

Thank you, agreed!!

[@naveenl86]

Congratulations on the 100k - you hit the nail on the head with all the little improvements (like applied logo) and duoface colour combinations!

[@Superdada]

This is my favorite watch in your collection. Congratulations!!

[@b_altmann]

Very nice, especially as a Duoface. As you say, it would be nice to get more variations in this size. They used to have a flat area on the dial for the logo, but I don’t think it needs to stand out much. It’s all about subtleties with the Reverso

[@hampallen]

I think it’s a great 1-2 combo for the Santos medium and the Duo Reverso. I love the Duo for international travel, putting on robust casual straps for the day and dressier straps for an occasion. The Santos medium works as a home weekender for the same reasons without the need for dual time.

[@Lintybaybay]

Congrats on the 100K subs! I like your content, one of my favourite watch youtubers from the US. Keep bringing us great content

[@m.stewart8094]

my only complaint is that the "travel time" should be labeled "home time" and the button should jump the hour hand of the silver face. Otherwise the day/night indicator on the dark side makes no sense I as I know whether its day or night but just looking out the window.

[@MinuteMon]

I agree with this!! I just used it for a travel recently and didn’t realize oh, it’s kind of backwards tracking. I still managed to track my 2 time zones but good catch

[@syed_mamoon99]

I recently went to Jewellery Arabia (a big watch and jewellery show in Bahrain), and tried on the JLC Reverso (‘23 model prob. launched at W&W ‘23), I want to thank you for introducing me to such a underrated and incredible watch brand. Keep up the good work!

[@sanghoonlee5171]

1:53 JLC really, really needs to bring that medium Tribute back. Current Tribute models are way too big. I saw this watch in 2016 and the blue dial was a far more beautiful shade than the current version's. If I had known it would be discontinued so quickly I would have bought it.

[@mornn1492]

congratulation, I also have the medium duoface, been useing it alot as a daily wear wach with jeans and tshirt, and even work uniform for 2 years now and I love it. I got the blue Casa fagliano summer strap with it as well as the brown leather strap, so I feel like I have 4 watches and can quickly change it when ever I like. enjoy your watch man!

[@mornn1492]

and I also have a 19mm jubelee bracelet that I also love when its very hot and sweaty outside where I dont want my leather straps all wet from sweat.

[@MinuteMon]

Amazing, love to hear how versatile it’s been for you

[@Horizontalvertigo]

Congrats on the purchase and your 100k subs! Personally, I'd love a Reverso of any (medium) description, but I'll be buying second hand, someone else can pay the 40% price increase, and the 20+% loss on resale...

[@JScorporation-h5n]

I love this video clips so much! The grey suede strap matches very well with reverso😊

[@themrgumbatron]

Loved the video! and congratulations on the Reverso! it suits you so well. The sheer variety of complications available for the line up is impressive, that and it being one of the longest production timepieces in history makes it something truly special. I recently reviewed one of the grand comps. feel free to check it out!

[@markinlondon4820]

There is a slight workaround on the hacking. When the watch is low on power you can use the crown to hold the second hand by giving a slight negative pressure then letting it to at the top of the hour when synched. Prob not ideal but it it works.

[@manuel_winde]

This doesn’t work on mine, it doesn’t bother me too much as the shape of the dial means it’s harder to get it exactly spot on like with a round watch.

[@st1tch87]

I have the 53mm lug to lug version with the calandar wheel at the top, both the case size and date wheel have been retired sadly. Mine doesnt have the quick adjust for the travel time, have to rotate the crown the opposite direction for it to jump the hour. Its one of my top 3 in my collection.

[@garykirscher9456]

Try a custom band maker, I just had Arron Bespoke make me an ostrich leg band for my duoface……great strap, great service.

[@Aziz_H_K]

Amazing watch love the Jaeger-LeCoultre reverso its iconic and beautiful

[@robertp5123]

Great eposide. Do you think that JLC will lower their prices? I would like the Reverso tribute but did not get it when it went from $ 21 to $ 25 k before it came out. Not nice for a watch enthusiast.

[@ipf7614]

Great review, think you just swung the vote for me: this is the version of the Reverso I need to get, that size is just perfect. The only thing that sort of bothers me a bit is the absence of proper bracelet options, but you seem to have found a way around that (which bracelet is that exactly? any others you'ld recommend?). Thanks for this highly informative video!

[@MinuteMon]

I got the 19mm Mesh bracelet from Strapcode, it works well for me!

[@dukes70]

Congrats 100k and on new JLC!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tsma24]

i hope they do a small, with 39-40mm lug length

[@lamystorius]

Congrats! Beautiful watch

[@atthelord]

Congrats! Try it on a mesh bracelet. I know it sounds weird, but give it a go. Also, try giving sharp colours a go.

[@Dark_Asteroid]

JLC vs Cartier? Cmon, JLC everyday of the week.

[@Risayogi]

Because we have the exact same wrist size, you have a new subscriber.

[@harryx6677]

Congrats! You got my grail. Just too expensive for me at retail. I’ll have to purchase it on the grey market. Unless you got hookups :)

[@MinuteMon]

Reach out to our store :)

[@harryx6677]

@@MinuteMonbtw, what’s your 3 watch collection now? I’m guessing Reverso, Santos, and Speedmaster.

[@MinuteMon]

going to answer that in an upcoming video!@@harryx6677

[@Asouthernrrose]

Great review

[@gekko1810]

Wonderful timepiece - congratulations

[@b_altmann]

The Reverso and the Santos are very different watches though. Having a Santos and the Santos Dumont even makes sense as they are quite different too.

[@James-pl2oy]

I got mine earlier this year and also noticed how non legible the JLC script is on the white dial. My really only complaint tor the medium size.

[@cpcallen]

@MinuteMon: 8:43: Maybe Carat & Co should get in to the pre-owned watch business, because the 1994 Minute Repeater is-like most Reversos of that period-in a so-called Grand Taille case which, at42x26mm, is the same size as today's "medium". Same for the 1991 Soixantième, 1993 Tourbillon, 1996 Chronograph Retrograde, 1998 Geographique, and 2000 Perpetual Calendar-but alas not for the Tryptique (54.5x34.5mm and 18mm thick!) or the Hybris Artistica gyrotourbillon ("only" 51.2x31mm) you briefly show.

[@adamw.7169]

5:06 won't winding or setting the time like this put unnecessary stress on the stem seeing as there'a pressure on one side vs gripping the crown and just turning it?

[@Tribune540]

Hi..just wanted to ask what ist zhe difference btw. Q3848420 and Q3848422? I can't spot any difference ...is there anx difference ?

[@christiantalmer8575]

I like the grey strap. It fits this Reverso perfectly. Where can I buy this?

[@MinuteMon]

It’s from Delugs - grey nubuck strap 19mm

[@daley3]

Great catch, truly a classy watch

[@sharulsonthalia]

buy straps from Jean Rousseau - they actually manufacture the straps for many brands including JLC. Same thing without the JLC stamp, for half the price.

[@MinuteMon]

Funny you say that - I ended up getting a custom strap from JR!

[@sharulsonthalia]

they’re great

[@Griffin1994]

This would be a banger on a dressy Beads of rice bracelet from Forstner, man! Congratulations 🤙🏾

[@08ryanalollipop]

My dream watch. One day... Still shocked it doesn't have shock protection though. JLC really need to flex their watchmaking skills by adding hacking, shock protection and a longer power reserve. That would be a big upgrade.

[@dboss5013]

looks amazing

[@mramed8448]

Congratulation 👍

[@GregoryIngle]

Congrats! This is an awime channel. I have many many watches. I own this one and its mya favorite.

[@fpostolache]

I love this watch !

[@jamieharriman5274]

Please try it on a perlon and a nato

[@silveriver9]

100m water resistance is perfect to attend a wedding 😅

[@MinuteMon]

You never know when you’ll get pushed into a pool! 😆

[@watchnerds]

6:19 please put it with Longines beads of rice bracelet!!!

[@Visqo1]

I love this watch

[@attila2246]

Great watch but not a fan of the price increases from JLC. Definitely something to buy grey.

[@silveriver9]

I'm torn between getting a Tank Must or a Duoface. I plan to own just one dress watch.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

A Tank Must? What? Do you just prefer the stainless steel? Tossing up between the Duoface and the Tank Louis would be the closer price comparison. Solid gold manual movement, versus steel duo-movement is an interesting toss up. (Get a Tank Louis with one of the coloured enamel dials 😀)

[@michaelstecyk7365]

Class all the way.

[@YusssoM]

Give us an update after few months, I've been hearing duoface owner to just use the silver dial 99% of the time, and i wonder how it'll be with you in future.

[@manuel_winde]

I have the medium duoface and for me, I prefer the the white/silver dial but have 20+ straps so there are some straps that really suit the dark side. One of my favourites being an orangey Hermes style strap. Also I have a beads of rice bracelet and the black side looks really nice with that.

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

Not a fan of the arabic numbers but the black dial side is deliciously Art Deco.

[@jonesmgmt1002]

You just convince me to get a Reverso! : )

[@SeniorChaChaCha]

I actually sold my Santos for the Reverso instead. No ragrets.

[@patelpatel6174]

How much price

[@MinuteMon]

Check description

[@DroppedGoat69]

would you like to review my watch case when it comes in ? im local to your store. i think it would be pretty cool for every watch enthusiast

[@dsvillalva]

Love the brand, hate the price hikes over the past year. Not justified.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

Well, the Reversos were extremely good value before, so a bit of a price bump wasn't out of the question, but they've definitely over-corrected and into a cooling market too. I'd be betting on discounts in the future.

[@LogicalNimbus]

Is he the owner or works at this place?

[@magnasquids7864]

I see the reasoning for the classic reverso. Two faces seems like a waste.

[@tcn0199]

Except the Santos is kind of cheesy and the Reverso is a subtle classic.

[@DarkPa1adin]

when you can't pronounce the name of the brand, it is too expensive!

[@jackkellerman310]

Don’t say anyways

[@reubenpatro4387]

No need for a historical lecture.

[@deezknuts07]

Looks vintage. Maybe when I'm 60yrs old
