You know...
that idea about all of the AMVOXes in one retrospective is fantastic, would be a great article to favorite in the browser 
Not to say of course that it wouldn't be great to see a few excellent photos of the platinum DBS in order to have a closer feeling of what the beautiful colors are like in real life.
Depends on your decision and available time, I'm sure we will enjoy very, very much everything you post!
What is the consensus-
Considering the following all in steel: 986 Duodate Grand Date Grand GMT All are reverso. Had the GMT,which I sold and regret. What is the preference of the community.
JLC 986 Duodate
Symmetry of the face makes this one beautiful watch. I am not sure what the exact term is "Golden Balance" or whatever the technical term it this one has it. Source :Internet press pics....
Good topic...
...and I am interested to read others' opinions. I am kind of exploring the same question. I guess i am looking for the perfect Reverso for me. I am curious, if you had the Grande GMT and regret selling it, why not get another one? I had been thinking tha...
The Consensus doesn't exist, as it NEVER exists...
I'm very close to Respo analyze on this matter. I prefer the 976 to the 986, because I don't blike the date window and the larger dimensions of the 986, which looks more " square " than the 976, but to each his own... In your list, I prefer the Grande Dat...
Me
I actually prefer the face on the GMT over the Grande Date. I guess it all depends on your personal taste...
This may assist your decision ...
Fortunately there are no wrong answers in the multi-choice question you pose ......
Master Grande Date is a keeper for me.
I also on the older MGT which I love.... And I really love my latest. JLC create an incredible range of quality products at a reasonable price....
And why not throw in the Grande Sun Moon?
No date, 8-day power reserve, moon phase and even better rear view than the Grande Date, right? respo
my humble preference....
so far i only have two reverso: Grande GMT and Grande Taille. can't contribute too much views except these two models. the former one has more complications than the latter. the latter is the most simple reverso. both are the great watches to me : - ) ste...
sure. here is a family of my 4 JLC watches...
these two pics were taken some time ago....
Nice!
I love the simplicity of the Grande Taille, but it is quite a bit smaller in all dimensions than the GMT. I think I need to try on a Grande Taille.... What a nice family portrait! Thanks. respo
respo, you should try GT...
i feel the Grande Taille fits my small wrist better and more comfortable. the rose gold case matches its simplicity of Grande Taille very well, especially the blue hands stand out on the white dial surrounding with rose gold. just can't describe how beaut...
My colored view...
... because I have one on my wrist every day for some 10 1/2 months now. I love my Grande GMT! And although it is not a very large watch compared to others it has a very decent size. The new Reverso models are slightly larger but thinner. This gives them ...
Pics?
For those of you who own a Grande GMT/Grande Date, would you mind posting pictures of the watch on your wrist and possibly let us know your wrist size please? I am just curious to see how the watch look like on different sized wrists... thanks in advance!
Here a XGT Reverso .
Same size than the Grande Date: My wrist is 16, 5 / 17 mm big... Best, Nicolas...
The silver dial on that watch looks spectacular!
There should definitely be more watches from JLC with a silver colored dial. Maybe an AMVOX
Actually, there is an Amvox with a grey dial...
Theere are even many... Amvox I titanium, Amvox II Platinum... Best, Nicolas
Correct,
but I should have been more precise with my description, I didn't mean to say 'silver' colored, I had specifically the dark gray color on that Reverso in mind, gray is actually my favorite color and there are very few watches with a dial in a gray tone li...
So this got me thinking.......
what is the one AMVOX in existence with the closest dial color to a dark gray tone? I believe it is the platinum DBS Grand Chrono: This is a spectacular watch in my mind but the one thing I would change is the outer dial color which is black. You can easi...
Actually, the dial is full grey on the A II Platinum.
On the picture, this is not evident, but I will soon post some pics I recently took of the definitive watch, which just landed in Paris a few weeks ago. Stay tuned. As for another Amvox II, I think that we just arrived below the 4 000 watches, and that it...
I very much look forward...
to the pics then, could have sworn it was black, just another example of how photographs usually don't succeed in depicting the exact color tones on a watch. I agree Nicolas that the AMVOX2 has reached a prideful and honorable end and that there is now sp...
Well, I have one option.
Or I prepare a topic about all the Amvox II released, and I include the pics of this Grey Amvox II... Or I post the 4 or 5 pics I have, and basta... Best. Nicolas

Thanks for the pic
It actually doesn't look too big at all and can still be worn as dress watch as your wrist shot shows. I personally think Reverso watches are some of the best watches to go with suits.
Nicolas, a follow up question or two
I sthe finishing of the entire watch and particularly the movement of this special Reverso in platinum at a much higher level than say the regular Grande Date? I can understand that the platinum Reversos and say the RG anniversary series from the 1990s ar...
Well, Respo
Yes, the Platinum Reversos generally house superior movements in terms of finish, except the RDM, which has a current movement. Here, you're speaking about the 70eme, the only Platinum Reverso offering an 8 Days movement. And yes, it is superiorly finishe...
Finely finished Reversos
But I think if they did come up with a Patek-equivalent level of finish for their Reversos, I think this would be made in either limited edition or only in valuable metal version (eg. white gold, platinum, etc...) Then maybe the price wouldn't be that aff...
I know what you mean
If they do release one of these, I don't want to know about it. LOL. Best, respo
You get several points, djmm
1/ I totally share your view on the extra finish which may driove to consequent high extra cost. The question is to know if People would pay the price for such a highly finished but simple Reverso. I think some will, but not a big majority. So, for once, ...
Great point
1931-2011. Of course!!!! Wait and see. As for the Art deco, you are both correct. For that matter, the Chronographe Retrograde would actually be my preference (even over the exquisite Art Deco, but that is definitely a wonder) if we are going back to the ...
I see
Yeah, I didn't think of it... 1931 - 2001, they might bring something nice in Reverso line huh?. But usually products that are introduced in SIHH (beginning of the year) won't be available on shelves until at least near the end of the year will they? So t...
Availability depends on the complexity of the watch.
So, yes, you may be right. The 80th may come at the end of 2011, if complex. I'm pretty sure JLC will amaze us, once more! Best, Nicolas
I look forward to reading your post on this...
...but I feel I should buy you a new keyboard. LOL. Thanks for the extra photos. I am actually at a point now where I do not necessarily need to see the movement withe a caseback display, I just want a Reverso in which I know the movement inside is exquis...
I even have a better idea, my friend
And idea which " jumped " to my mind when I saw the watch at the Manufacture a few months ago... Wait a bit... Best, Nicolas
Want to know more
So would it be an XGT sized Reverso? Can't wait to know more about this development..when can we know more about it? I hope it's not jumping prices... haha...
Next year, in January...
Sorry, but revealing the 80th on its 79th Anniversary would not be very smart, nor clever... Best, Nicolas
Yeah
But I think it will be a limited anniversary edition which means something that most likely out of my price range... But then again considering that it's been awhile since they released XGT-sized Reverso, who knows there might be a new family line in Reve...
Yep, Andy.
A very clean XGT Reverso, indeed. Congrats, and welcome on the forum! Best, Nicolas
