The Worst JLC Ever ... ?

[Ikemi]

Oh JLC ... *shakes head*

The "The Dark Knight Rises" Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931:



The case back looks awful! Not entirely sure why JLC are linked in with the Batman franchise anyway. It would make more sense if they brought out a 'Tony Stark' edition

Naff. Why do they do that? That's worse than the Omega/Bond watches.

I know. I'd be happy with a limited edition (one of a very low volume) that perhaps came with some TDKR memorabilia in the box, but I don't want big visible logos on the watch. What makes matters worse is the fact that the case back has a function on the Reverso, being a protective measure for the dial/face/crystal

They have ruined a stunning watch there. The "standard" Tribute to 1931 Reverso is possibly the best looking JLC I have ever seen. Had a lucky customer pick this one up this week in fact.

An excellent example of how to make a beautiful, classic, understated watch look like cheap tat.

Sums it up nicely. What were JLC thinking

.....I agree they can do better; at least these two have the correct time and date even if the moonphase is a bit out.

Bale wears a Reverso tribute in at least one of the films

Yeah, I did a bit of digging and found out that this was the reason behind this monstrosity. I have to admit though, I didn't notice the Reverso whilst watching the new film, which in itself is very good! I'm seeing it again tonight, so I'll keep my eye out for it

They did one for Batman Forever as well!

Blimey! That one makes the 'TDKR' in my original post look good!

Puke.

Someone within JLC's marketing needs taking out and shooting.

How did I not see these first time through this thread

Apparently (thankfully) this isn't actually for sale, its just for display in a couple of their boutiques as a tie in to the movie. Val Kilmer had a reverso as a wrist mounted TV/communicator in his batman movie, and Christian Bale is seen wearing one in one of his previous ones, so this thing goes back a few years, which I didnt know about until recently.

Of course, nothing to stop anyone with a reverso getting that engraved onto it - although why anyone would want to I am not quite sure.

Bruce Wayne looks cool wearing a Reverso - A punter wearing a Batman one will look a bit of a knob.
