My dressiest watch...and a pic of my actual Reverso. A photographer asked to take some shots of my collection, and this is one turned out great.

Great shot! I love the unique dial on this reverso, that dial color really gives it a vintage feel.

Beautiful watches, guys!

Question: for a dude with a 6.5" wrist, do you think the classic Duo size is better or the Grande? Trying them on later today, but just wondering what actual owners have found to be best.

Thanks, and enjoy your remarkable Reversos!

As a reference, here is a Grande Reverso on my 6" wrist. My wrist is flat, so the watch sits perfectly ... no discomfort.

That one is good looking, I debated long and hard between that and the tribute to 1931.

What size strap is on your Grande Reversos?

diracpoint and kilyung,
Is that the standard strap you guys have on your Grande Reversos or are they a shorter strap? I've been waiting for 4 weeks for my shorter strap the AD ordered to swap out, but I really want to wear my Reverso and wonder if the standard strap would be OK. My wrist is between you guys at 6.25". Apologies for no photos in the photo thread.

Yup, mine is on the standard JLC strap. But I had to punch a few extra holes in it to make it fit my wrist

The regular strap fits me on the last hole. However I mix the short and regular straps for a better fit.

Thanks, guys! Based on your pics, I think it's Grande for me. I tried them all on, I love the Grande Duo! It will be mine this year.

Keep posting pics!

Here is my simple, but elegant, classic TT1931 on my 6.25" wrist with a Short JLC alligator strap.


Or with my Medium Hirsch James Performance strap for a more casual look while I wait for my Fagliano cordovan strap.

Question for you JLC experts.

I tried on a few Reversos today at an AD.

I really liked one but the sales associate wasn't that knowledgeable and I'm confused on the model.

It was the smaller model of the two (are there only two sizes?)

It was white face, numbers instead of sticks, blue hands and black non-deployment strap in stainless steel.

It had a solid case back and the Canadian msrp was I believe 8300.

I think it was an ultra thin model but I'm not certain.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Not sure how to edit above post on my phone but I got my answer. It's an ultra thin model 2788520. Looking forward to when I can join this thread with my own.

Came across this thread this morning, I just acquired my long sought Reverso last week. I am really enjoying it and wearing it more than I thought I would, almost every day to the office. Such a great design, great fit and spot on keeping time.
