JLC Reverso Classic medium or large

Hello everyone. I have 7" wrist. I am not sure if medium size Reverso Classic Automatique at 40.1 X 24.4mm or large size at 45.6 X 27.4mm suit me better.

If I can see some wrist shots on 7" wrist, that would be great!

Thank you so much.

You really need to try them on. Some wrist shapes handle reversos and some don't. When they work they're a beautiful thing.

I thought it was just me. I tried them and they look weird on my wrist. Why is that?

Here's a Reverso I tried on recently.

Even if it's a little small, I think it works well and looks very much the dresswatch.

Which ones did you try on?

I wear two different sized reversos - grande taille (42 x 26) and classique (38 x 23), and both look good on my 6.5" wrist.
However, other sizes can look strange - particularly the very long ones or the thicker ones.

I tried the small and large ones.

Take photos also viewed from a mirror to size vs your whole physique. Plus direct phone cam to wrist maybe a bit distorted due to the lense

I have a 6.75 wrist and the Reverso 976 was just a bit too big for me. The tribute to 1931 is a perfect for for my wrist. Hope this helps. You really should try on a few sizes before you commit. The Reverso is very difficult to get before trying

Agree with this - try them all on. The ultra thin Reversos may work better. I think they are suited to flatter wrists given the case shape.

I have a 7 inch wrist and the tt1931 fits just right. As others have said though, best to try on, as they wear very differently from round watches
