Ah ! the Grande duo date is good too. the thickness is 10.7 compare to calender which is 10.2. not much diff. I suppose.
Thedecision will depends on the price and availability. The duo date would be higher price .
Any diff. with the movement ? Which is a better ?
No clear choice !
Help to choose.
Planning to get my first and probably only Jaeger. Looking at Reverso because of its history with Jaeger. Reverso calendar or grande reverso duo ? stainless steel for every day use. Must have the double fold clasp. Once broke my Franck Muller with pin buc...
Reverso Calendar, for me, but my opinion is nothing compared to your heart.
It has, in the stainless steel version, the double fold clasp. And it is a very original and beautiful Reverso. My favourite, after the Red, which doesn't come with a double fold clasp. Best, Nicolas
bump this thread
Finally have decide on a grande reverso ultra thin duoface. The right size for me and in stainless steel. I like to thank every one for their comments. Hip hip hooray
Very cool, great choice!
As they say, wear it in the best of health! Let us know how it goes once you get some time with it on the wrist. -MW
Where to buy ?
This must have been covered. Is Duty Free the place to buy ? I will be travelling to Japan and back via KL. Australian resident.
While I like the Reverso Calendar...
the day/month windows are little small. I prefer the "big, bold" dials (both!!!) of the Duo-Date. Plus, it's 2 for the price of 1: silver, rectangular dial with date and seconds for day (a business watch), and round, black dial for night (with no seconds ...
I'm a big fan of the moon and not the arched date window. So my choice is clear.
I must confess though that the date is not the easiest/quickest to read in the market due to its small size. Perhaps in the end it may come down to whether you prefer the dual time functionality from having a second dial on the Duo or the fine view of the...

Sorry I have no knowledge of the movement on the GR Duo for comparison.
But I believe it to be the newer generation 9XX caliber as opposed to the older generation 8XX caliber in the small size Duo (without the "Grande" prefix). The movement in the Grande Reverso Calendar also belongs to the latter family. It is fitted with an...
Thanks Guys, Great help.
I do not think my local AD has both. If Grande Duo Date is 20% cheaper, my choice is much easier ! lol
no longer made
Reverso Duo date is no longer made, while Reverso calendar is still current. Why would a manufacturer stop a model ? Is it like cars, to up date ? Are there certain models that keeps going on. eg. 10 yrs or more ?
JLC has a huge diversity of watches, so some change, disappear, at the benefit of others.
BUT I do agree that some others have a too short life. One example: The Reverso Memory, which most of us have forgotten, which is a paradox for a Watch with such a name. It has been on the catalog for one year, maybe two! Best, Nicolas
Too Large
Hi guys I tried the grande reverso calendar and it is too large for me ! 48mm. I have to try the grande taille now. 42mm. What does TAILLE mean ? The duo reverso is also 42 mm.
size of watch
See the JLC website ! the GRANDE reverso calendar is 48.5 mm !! x 29.5 Taille means size ?
taille means size
So, with the taille, what does that mean on the watch ? Smaller size ? Danke
GT
The Grande Taille is a beautiful and understated watch, of course, I'll probably be biased since my GT has been my daily watch for the last 5 years. It's quiet, understated, amazingly accurate and just fits well. Good luck in your continued hunt. Richard
Planning to get my first and probably only Jaeger.
I am REALLY curious. How many people say something similar to this and then genuinely only get ONE JLC?
My guess...
.....is that there are few (if any) who start out saying..."just one JLC"...who eventually get just one. Other than the B-Man
yes only one Jaeger
That is my plan, just getting one Jaeger. I have a Seiko, Franck Muller, 2 vintage GP, a PP Ellipse (gave to my wife, as it was too small) and a Rolex just date. Only got interested in watches because of a friend. Would love a Lange, PP and a Breguet. But...
Stick to Watches...
I agree with your last post, good quality watches depreciate much less than non-vintage cars... My car is worth 1/5 of my favourite watch... JLC E
At Last !
Acquired my grande reverso ultra thin duo, 46.8 mm, ss. Jaeger means hunter What is the meaning of Le-Coultre ?
Congratulations!
Jaeger means " a lot ", and LeCoultre means " pleasure ". What I wish for you! Best, Nicolas
