Dilemma on Squadra vs Standard Reverso
Hi everyone. I need your view and input on this. I currently own a Reverso Squadra Hometime. I am not sure if I should consider it as a true Reverso as the case is more squarish in compare to the standard Reverso. However, I heard from Tim Mosso from Watchuwant that the Squadra case ratio is actually true/closer to the original sketch. I am thinking if I should get a piece of a standard Reverso just to complete my collection. But, in many ways, it would be a duplicate. I understand that Squadra is sportier and standard Reverso is more of a dress watch. What do you think? What should I do?

Think about it this way: Would you prefer a Royal Oak or a Royal Oak Off Shore.
The Reverso is the icon, class, elegant, timeless. The Squadra was an attempt from JLC to offer a sports watch in the Reverso line. Cool, cooler, but less elegant and less iconic than the Reverso. It is up to you. Do you prefer the Royal Oak Off Shore or ...

Looks like I need to get a piece of Standard Reverso to complete my collection.
Yup, you need to get one..
to appreciate the difference. And they are different - for different wearing experience and different occasions. Being sporty vs elegant is one of them. /W72

and i think i commented the same on the other forum where u asked ...
My preference has always been the Reverso with the traditional proportions -The rectangular case dimensions follow the “golden ratio,” roughly 1.618:1 which is meant to be the most
pleasing proportions to the eye - it works for me !
Squadra Hometime is an awesome movement...
but the durability of the "Autotractor" can also be found in the 976 (the manual, single-time variant), or the DuoDate, which is my preferred version. I think the 976 would have been awesome with a flat-back as it is a large canvass, but, alas, JLC only p...
