Jaeger-LeCoultre

Gentlemen, I need your help to choose between those two models from JLC, they are indeed rather different but have so many pros and few cons that I am really struggling. In both cases its (for me) an investment and really want to do the best choice! One i...  

If you think Watches are investments, you take the risk to be deeply disappointed. 90 % of them are not good investments. Now, that being said, I would go for the Reverso Calendar. It is not a Watch we often see. The production is quite recent ( 2 or 3 ye... 

I love my Duo. But, I agree with Nicolas: Follow your love. Cheers, Nilo ...  

As Nico says, and his advice is seriously sound. Watches are for our personal enjoyment and investments are secondary, if it can even be counted as one. My personal choice would be the Duo, as I find the pointer date difficult to read, and I would get tir... 

#1, go with your heart, not your head. #2, if you wish to speak investment and return-on-investment (if you actually plan to sell the watch one day), popularity often drives investment value (though I think marketing does so more than any other factor). T... 

Hi, I really liked your answer and of course I am following my feeling but I am must say that your arguments are really good! I am indeed going for the duo and will pick it up sometime next week :-) Thanks again, Mat

If you're investing in your dressing and appearance then the Reverso Grand Calendar would make a fine choice. The symmetry, novelty of the moon phase complication and the exhibition back round this elegant piece of nicely. But in the end, follow your hear... 

My personal preference is for the Grand Calendar, but then again, I'm in love the Sun Moon and these are close(er) cousins. Not to complicate matters, but have you tried a Sun Moon by any chance? If you can track down the platinum version, thank me later ... 

Grand Calendar and Duoface are both nice but... ...just like you, I believe Sun Moon has something special, specially the old version in WG However I admit that the weak point of this Sun Moon is the back side (saphire back showing the not mesmerizing mov...  

Just for the pleasure of the eyes... ...  

Pt version very nice for sure. Never had a chance to see one in metal, pics only. It seems you were more lucky than me... Best, Mike

a friend's on loan during dinner :) I didn't find the smaller dimensions a problem at all, which is one an issue some have with this model. Sits very nicely on the wrist. Photo does not do this watch justice -- gorgeous! ...  

On the contrary I find the dimensions, proportions and dial design far better than the latest version. But that´s a question of personal taste... The Pt version sits perfectly on your wrist indeed. Best, Mike

Thanks very much Nico! One more to add to my quest! I remember your septantieme was on the heavy side. Maybe the Pt Sun Moon is a little more wearable? Peut-etre on vera...

I am also a fan of yours ... I will miss the Moon Phase! But migh be a good excuse to go for a collector in the future!

Hi Both are great. I'll declare my interest - I already have a old style Duo without the pusher. The dial of the reverse Grand Calendar is great. Then so are both of the ones of the Duo :-) For me I'm really fond of the Grand Talle size of reverse - the R... 

Hi, i wanted to thank all of you for your comments and advices! I will pick up the Duo next week and will certainly post my feedback and pics! Thanks again and if any of you guys pass by Geneva let me know I invite you for drinks! Cheers and have a great ... 

I'm a fan of Reversos and out of all the Reversos my favourite one is always the Duo. I have a small wrist so anything over the grand taille size is out of the question and Duo is the perfect size. I'm sure you'll love yours! ...  

Got it! I will leave on a short trip over the weekend and will have time to put my thoughts together and write for next week a full report with pics about my new acquisition!!! thanks again guys for your very much appreciated help!

Of course, I decided upon the Grande Calendar..Have not regretted the decision. I LOVE flipping the case over and looking at the movement. I'm also a sucker for a moonphase... If I were constantly changing timezones OR in a business requiring me to talk w...
