My Holy Grail watch

I know this is the Rolex forum, and I've collected Rolex watches for over thirty years, but this really isn't the appropriate place to post, but I'm so excited I can't resist. After thirty years of searching for my Holy Grail watch I finally got one. It's a 1931 (first year of manufacture) Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso, It is in excellent condition and has never even been polished. Thanks for putting up with my post

I've gotten a few requests for pics but can't figure out how to do it, (I'm old) Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks folks

Congratulations Sir on your vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre aquisition! Please share some pics for all to enjoy. I'm very curious how it looks. No problem imho showing other watch brands here occasionally, especially something that special. Cheers!
