Hi, Ian,....

 

The 2 watches are "2 sides of the same coin," if you will. I love both, but the Squadra is NOT a water watch. It can take the accidental plunge, but it's not designed for "prolonged water use."

That said, the Reverso Squadra World Chrono is an amazing movement, since you have the world timer coming through the back. If you don't think you'd use the world time function as much, I must tell you that the Polo Fields version is VERY interesting due to the back having the names printed on a sapphire disc so that you can see the rotor sandwiched between the 2 dials.

If it's an either/or, I'd stick with the EWC. If it's an addition to your JLC stables, I think it's a great addition. The titanium is 1500 pieces, the Polo Fields is very low production.

Just my thoughts.

Reverso Squadra World Chronograph - yes or no?

 
By: Watches4ever : May 10th, 2011-07:58
Hi to all, I have been a JLC brand fan for a long time, once owned Reverso Tourbillon, Reverso Dual time & Geographic. Currently owned Grand Reverso 976, AMVOX 2, and Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph. Recently I came across the beautifully craf... 

I would stick with the EWC

That Reverso is a beauty for sure, but I don't think it surpasses the EWC in any way. They are very similr watches in many ways, and they both have the cal. 75X family of chrono movements inside, which is a very good thing. The EWC will give you the versa... 

EWC

Thanks for your input, totally agreed, the EWC is excellent for sporting activities, the lockdown mechanism on the chrono buttons & main button are faultless, the best of its kind, simple & direct. I've tried the Squadra & the size is fine for me. My only...

I can’t advice you on the two you are asking about since I have no personal experience of them. But I can offer you a couple of snaps on the Reverso… Best Blomman...  

Though there is a big difference on the WT presentation.

Or should I say Expression... I much prefer the verso dial of the Squadra WT than its recto side... The other roblem with the Squadra is that it is a big ( very big ) and very thick watch. Some wrists should be able to wear it, I'd say that a vast majorit...

Is the Squadra Hometime any different in size, or are all Squadra's the same size? --Sancerre

Squadra Big & Thick

 
By: Watches4ever : May 10th, 2011-19:45
The Squadra World Chronograph is the biggest & thickest watch on the line. For someone who like big, bold watches, then this is the one for you. After receiving so many comments, the reason I went for the EWC is because I get to see the world time at a gl...
