Breitling Chronomat 41 or JLC Reverso

Been a long time lurker on here...need your opinions

Currently have a SubC and Speedy Pro in the collection. Had a Seamaster that I just sold to get a new for new watch. Want to have something with a bit of gold. Don’t want it to be overbearing as meet with client a lot and don’t really want to give the wrong impression.

Considering the JLC Reverso http://en.worldtempus.com/watches/gr...thin-6010.html

Or the Breitling Chronomat 41 (I can get a pretty good deal on this since it’s a discontinued model https://peachysreviews.com/tag/breitling-chronomat-41/

Reverso gets my vote.

Reverso hands down. It’s a classic. Alternatively, I’d also look at vintage two tone datejusts.

If only Chrono 41, I say go JLC.
While I am a big Breitling fan and own a few, the Chrono, even for a small wrist as mine, has to be a 44 or bigger. Mine is a 44.
A 41 is way too small in the world of Breitling.

Yea, Breitling needs to be a 44mm. The Chronomat is a excellent and robust made watch. It’s ideal as a everyday watch.

I have 6 Breitlings, between 39 and 44 mm. My Chronomat 41 has the way most wrist time. Could not tolerate the Chronomat 44 (tried several times...). Wrist 17 cm.

Based on your collection I would go with the JLC.

JlC for versatility reasons. It may be blasphemy here, but I love the jlc true second better though.

These are certainly different watches, but like the JLC a lot more. It and your Speedmster would make a superb two-watch collection.

2 completely different watches as you surely know.
As an owner of a Breitling and 2 JLC's, I suggest the JLC.
You also already have 2 sports style watches, so the Reverso will add some variety to your collection.
