There is a flaw in the Tribute Duo. Note the second timezone 24 hour display is incorrectly labeled.

Day is defined as 0600h to 1800h and night is 1800h to 0600h. The Tribute versions of the duo seem to have this incorrect.

Another day, another Reverso try-on ...

Yesterday I posted photos of the sublime Reverso Tribute Moon on my thin wrist, and the consensus was that it was just too big. Nicolas wisely suggested that I consider the Duo, which I have now done. I love this model too, and it’s definitely more wearab...
Thanks ...

but I was under the impression that the delightful Duo in your photo was the same basic watch as the one I tried on, but with a different color scheme. Is it actually smaller? And if so, is it still in production, or was it an LE?
Ah. I now see ...

... that the Tribute Duoface I tried on (in current production) is in fact quite a bit larger than the 85th Anniversary Tribute Duo that was released in 2016 ... and no longer appears to be in production. But I would love to hear I’m wrong about that!
Thanks Nicolas! I found it today ...

in an AD, after another AD told me that it was a limited edition and no longer for sale new, anywhere. I'm glad I have a choice of ADs. It's beautiful, and as you predicted, it fits perfectly. I may well buy it, though there's a wrinkle I will need to sor...

My is a Grande GMT, hers is my previous gold standard size Reverso. This one is fine for me but I've tried a Squadra, for example and can't pull it off. Seems way too big for me. Cheers, Cazalea ...
Those look very, very nice.

But I won't show your photo to my wife, lest I double the expense!
thanks -- agreed that it's beautiful, but
By: Chromatic Fugue : October 7th, 2019-20:15
it's really too close a call on the sizing. I bought a Royal Oak Chrono eight years ago because it took my breath away, even though it didn't fit all that well with the integrated bracelet. I sold it earlier this year because I never wore it anymore; it w...
That is so true.
By: Chromatic Fugue : October 7th, 2019-20:13
That's part of the reason why I took most of these photos in the mirror, to correct for the optical distortion of close-ups. I think this particular model is still too close of a call.
I think it looks just right.

Fits your wrist very well, and as some have said, it looks larger in photos, which means that in the metal, it would be just nice.
Thanks for the encouragement!
By: Chromatic Fugue : October 7th, 2019-20:17
But given a choice between a size that kind of works, and a size that actually really works (the 85th anniversary Nicolas illustrates above), I should probably go with the latter.
It looks beautiful but is slightly "chunky."
By: Chromatic Fugue : October 7th, 2019-20:18
Obviously lots of guys could pull this off. It's just hard to be tall and thin. OK, maybe not that hard for most purposes, but hard for watch-sizing purposes. : )
I hear you, but ...

the finest oriental rugs come with a subtle flaw, if only to show that God alone is perfect. Also, this: : )
Hi Charlie

It’s me, Jon, from the other thread! Same wrist, wearing here the watch you pictured there.
Oh, I was asking "everso"...
By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 4th, 2019-11:53
As I thought that was his wrist he posted a picture of right above my post. Anyway, thanks for replying...
