Need Help Deciding . . .
Hello, everyone. I need some help deciding between two JLCs I'm considering . . . the MC GMT or the Reverso Gran'Sport Duo. I know the first words of advice (and words that i've given myself) will be "which ever one appeals best to me when i put it on," and I realize they are very different pieces. But i'm having some difficulty deciding and would appreciate any input or opinions. I plan to use whichever one i end up with to fill a gap between the sporty/casual and dressy/formal options i currently have. I would also be interested in other options of which i may not be aware.
Your input is appreciated.

Reverso Gran Sport Duo is more versatile, maybe.
Due to its smaller volumes. And, after all, isn't it the 80th anniversary of this iconic watch? Best, Nicolas.
Good Points
Thanks, Nicolas. And I think having both a white and black face adds versatility, too. Any suggestions of models i may have failed to consider? Taylor
Tribute To Deep Sea Alarm? Navy SEALs Alarm?
Extrem World Chronograph? There are so many.... Best, Nicolas.
Excellent Suggestions
And I'm already proud owner of the NSA (which i love) and the EWC. For me, the EWC is a bit too big and sporty to wear, say, to a business meeting or with a suit. The tribute might be a nice option. Do you know when it will be available?
From next June / July.... But ...
You'd better order it quickly, as they sell fast. Best, Nicolas.
the GMT is fantastic
I love my GMT, it can go pretty much anywhere that I wish. You can put it on with a suit without it sticking out like a tool watch, but you can equally wear it with jeans or shorts and flip flops. It is fantastic on the SS bracelet, subtle on the rubber s...
round and rectangular...???
... yes i can imagine how hard the decision you can make... both are actually different watch... one is round and another is rectangular! i am not sure which one you are going to get... but one thing i am quite sure is that once you get into JLC, you will...
I fear you may be right, Stephan
Nicolas already has me signed up for a Tribute to Deep Sea and at the moment I'm leaning towards a Reverso Duo with a black and brow strap for ultimate versatility. One small hurdle may be corporate approval from the Mrs.
Two very different watches…
The Reverso Gran'Sport Duo is not often seen here. The Gran’Sport is a very underrated part of the Reverso history, IMO ! Hands down, the most comfortable Reverso I ever tried on my wrist! Design – a matter of taste… Here is a post I wrote about the Duo s...
Well, the GS Duo IS a great watch...
if you like the size (slightly larger than the Grande Taille). I, personally, prefer the Grande GMT do to the 8-day power reserve. But, if the size suits you (pun intended), the GS Duo is awesome and has a very cool 24-hour indicator (long and short hands...
So I Made My Decision
First, i want to thank all of you for your input. I went to my local AD today and tried on a lot of different watches. I started this process hoping to fill what i viewed as a gap in my admittedly minimal collection--something between a pure dress watch I...
Congratulations!
Honestly I don't see the problem. You love black dialed watches with strong personality, and then? Who would blame you for that? Certainly not me. Nice trio, my friend. Congratulations. Nicolas.
