***All watches will come with FREE overnight fully insured shipping anywhere in the US for the rest of December! Let’s get some watches onto wrist for the holidays! *** “Necessity is the mother of invention.” OK, so it’s 1931, you’re playing a lot of Polo (as one does) but your watch keeps getting smashed. What do ya do? Well, if you’re Jaeger-LeCoultre you revolutionize the wristwatch by creating a reversing mechanism that allows you to flip your watch over and protect the crystal! Fast forward all these years later and here we have the modern iteration of that icon, the JLC Reverso! And this is an amazing example, the men’s classique in a DOUBLE BOXED set! REFERENCE: 250.8.86 DATE: 2000s DIAL: Beautiful silver dial with blue accents in incredible condition - up close you can see the subtle brushed texture, along with those blued hands - it all catches the light and it’s awesome! CASE: VERY clean 23MM x 38mm stainless case. Feels like a Cartier tank but with extra spread across the wrist, wears incredibly well! (Photographed on my 6.6 inch wrist.) Very light wear overall, mostly seen on the high polished parts and only in bright light, but all in presents close to mint, including the reverso side, which only has very light marks and is completely free of the usual engravings! And of course that incredible flipping mechanism works perfectly, very easy and smooth, locking in tight. CRYSTAL: Sapphire crystal is in great shape showing off that stunning dial! MOVEMENT: Hand wound movement winds and sends perfectly. Service history unknown, but running strong, with timegrapher showing 14 seconds a day and an extremely healthy amplitude of 325! STRAP: Comes on a brand new, handmade, gray French leather strap, that I think pairs beautifully with that dial! Complete with its original JLC deployant clasp. ACCESSORIES: Double boxed set, complete with all of its original booklets (Very cool to see those in French!) I believe this is everything it came with minus the card originally. Boxes have very light storage wear - awesome to find one this complete! PRICE: $3895 which will include fully insured overnight shipping via FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to-face in the Los Angeles area is always possible with a small discount offered. PAYMENT: Via Venmo friends and family, Zelle, Wise, or bank wire. Sale only, no trades thanks TIMESTAMP: https://imgur.com/a/WPnoInP RETURNS: No returns unless misrepresented, and it absolutely will not be. I am a passionate watch collector and lover first and foremost, and I treat buyers the way I wanna be treated when I’m the buyer. Lots of feedback to show that!
