Almost.
I have the original version of this watch, launched in 2016 The original version has an eggshell finish on the main dial and clous de Paris on the reverse. Personally, I find those finishes more interesting than sunburst dials. Some people didn’t like the day night display on the reverse side of the original version, but again, personally, I really like it. The original version came with a quick change gold deployant, but I believe the current model only has a pin buckle.
My practical observations are:
- it’s quite heavy in gold, but I like the weight and it looks and feels special to me on the wrist;
- it’s quite long but fits my 7inch wrist fine;
- I can’t read the calendar indications and date without my reading glasses! In reality that’s not an issue for me because I prefer the reverse side (I particularly like the blue grey tone);
- I thought I might miss a second hand but I haven’t;
- there is no quick set button for the day of the week so you have to keep turning the hands until you get to the right day of the week. That can be a pain;
- it’s my only manual wind watch and mostly I remember to wind it each morning!
- I think the duo face and the combination of complications are fantastic. It really is two watches in one.
I don’t have any regrets.
All the best,
Jon
Does anyone have any experience with this reference.
Strongly considering it. Wrist shots would be greatly appreciated. Thanks my friend, Tony. ...
Hi Tony.
I had this for a while in SS and ended up gifting it to my son. The case size was larger than my Grande GMT - my fault for not checking as I assumed they’d be the same size. Also, the day and month windows are very small - as well as the date indicator. G...
Not my photos, Tony, but hopefully
they will be helpful. This Duoface Calendar ref. Q3912532 looks quite nice. Best, Emmanuel credit: @ttommywatches ...
I had it, but didn’t love it enough to keep.
I normally like large watches, but prefer larger round ones to this one. I had the previous version which didn’t have a smooth dial like the current version. I actually preferred the version I had versus the current smooth dial. Hopefully you’ll like it b...

I have the older version in SS
My wrist is 6.75” and I got used to the size pretty quickly. As many here I like the older version with egg shell textured dial and more importantly, hammered moon which was the main reason I got this watch. Also the date pointer is too small for me to re...
Yes, that steel version with the blued hands and indices, with the textured dial, is wonderful.
Thanks for the pictures. Jon
Def try it on first!
I really liked the look of this when it first came out, managed to see one and try it on - just felt too big for me. The old school day date in GT case much better fit (still hunting for that one!) Cheers JML
Another wrist shot for you to see what you think.
3 points to note from my perspective: Model Q3912420 1) I have a 7.5 inch wrist. 2) I like bigger watches. 3) I prefer colored precious metals (but I do have some WG in my collection). This is my 4th Reverso Duo. Why? Because the other 3 versions I had lo...
Good luck trying them on!
I think it may be big but the wrist shot will tell. I like the new grande date…
