Pure admiration
Thanks for the compliment. I really like the design of the trio. FIrst bought the automatic. At the time I thought it was quite cool to have a Reverso that is not scare of water. Then after reading about the chronograph limited edition launched in 1996, the GS chronograph started to call me. The duo is purely an admiration of the design of the dials. The 2nd time zone is a real bonus.
I'll be getting a leather band for the automatic. Picture of it will be uploaded in due course, probably not a very exciting watch nowadays. That is a shame and that applies to the chronograph and the duo.

Well, this is the year to do it
As for you, the Reverso has been much on my mind lately. I think there has been a lot posted about the reverso, particularly this past year, so try and do a search. The anniversary has prompted some superb threads, and our esteemed moderator has posted lo...
Gran Sport or not
Personally I like the basic Reverso design. It is a watch that can be flipped, in other words the dial or the look can be changed in a few seconds. There are other watch collectors who have also voiced their opinion which I agree. Reverso though looks int...
Perfectly written, Gup.
I love the way you described and compared the Gran Sport Duo and Chronograph. That is pure love for the Gran Sport line! Best, Nicolas.
Great to hear your thoughts on the Gran Sport
Especially since you have experience with all three. Best, respo
