From an owner of the Reverso Grand GMT, I think that it is a terrific watch.
I have owned the Reverso Grand GMT since its release about 4 years ago? My time flies! I have always thought that the Squadro was too big and a diversion from the historically significant Reverso. I must admit that I thought that it was an uncomfortable corporate decision to go with the fad of larger watch cases. That said, I know that people like them and I am only expressing my opinion.
The Reverso Grand GMT is a great watch. At the time of its introduction, it represented a major technological advancement for JLC's line of Reverso. It has served me very well and I have worn it on a number of trips and enjoyed the uninterupted wear of it. It has stood the test of time very well and has had no problems whatsoever.
What I think is perfect for me. Try each on and let the watch muses sing to you. You'll know which is the right one for you and forget what anyone else has to say.

I would just add..

Nicolas' advice to try it on and the right one will speak to you is perfectly correct. But since you are asking for opinions on these two watches, I would go for the Reverso Grande GMT. The more I look at it the more I think it is just an extraordinary wa...

I went to an authorised dealer this afternoon and was happy to see the Squadra World Chrono on display. Tried it on...big and bold! Unfortunately I did not have a side-by-side comparison today. Will have to do that sometime in the middle of the next week,...
A nice duo

I think these two watches are simply wonderful. The Gran Sport Chrono, I regard as one of the best reversos and a highly under-rated watch. The World Time Squadra Chrono has to be experienced to be appreciated. I have the rarer one with what I regard as t...
