What is EWC?

I bought it from the JLC boutique in Geneva in Feb 2024.

I'm guessing he means European Watch Company.

Is SS Reverso Tribute Chrono easily available at ADs nowadays? Any discount?

Bought mine bnib with stickers for $22k (no tax) a few months ago. I'm sure that's where they're still trading give or take a penny. Just reach out to your neighborhood grey and I'm sure they'll be able to source one for you at or near that price.

My fiance is interested in the lady Reverso duetto. What kind of discount can we expect from AD/boutique? JLC had raised prices so much over the last few years it’s now $12K list price. If anyone has reputable grey dealers I should reach out to, please lmk as well.

Forgive me is this has been asked before. I see certain references marked as "exclusivity" on the JLC website, but I also seem to see photos/videos of these same references in ADs. Can these references be special ordered by ADs?

I'm not talking anything crazy, just the silver dial Master Control Chronograph Calendar.

Really appreciate your insight!

I don’t know if things have changed recently but last year I asked a few different ADs if they were able to get the Pink Gold Burgundy Monoface Reverso and was told by all of them any “exclusivity” watches are boutique only. This to me is part of why JLC isn’t doing too well. I really wanted that watch but the price is way too high and you can’t get discounts at a boutique. I’m not paying full retail for a watch that loses a ton of its value the second I buy it. Well, not that one anyway.

Hopefully my information is outdated and you’ll have better luck than me. I’m NY based if that matters.

Tribute Green. Love this watch.

Agree on some comments above regarding the “exclusive” models. This green dial I believe was an exclusive model. Nearest boutique to me is a million miles away. So picked this up on Chrono24, having never the opportunity to see in person. Luckily it’s amazing and was happy to pull the trigger.
Got a second strap for it on JLC and it toned down the dressy-ness of it.

I recently stopped by an AD and asked about Reverso Tribute Chrono, was told it’s boutique only.

The silver dial Master Control Chronograph Calendar is boutique-only… the blue dial is available in ADs.
In Europe this silver dial is also rarely availble in the boutiques… a few years ago, circa on its release, it was available in a few ADs…

Exclusive means boutique only. Your AD can look up the model in their system and see that it is not available to order. I am not aware of any exceptions but happy to be told otherwise.
