Impressive collection, my dear Joe! Among them, there is one which calls me for a long time, now. The Gransport Chronograph. I am waving between the white and the black dialed versions. T Swiss Made T dial, for me. But definitely one I will get. Totally Under appreciated. Totally cool. Totally horological. Superb, my friend. Really superb. Bravo! Do you have more in your scope? Best, Nicolas
.....one that you own...for sure!!

The Reverso is "moorish" because it is so versatile. To be honest, when i have my Retrograde on, it gets more compliments from people than ANY other watch I own. It looks fantastic and has the capacity to sit at ease in most circumstances. On the GranSport Chrono....I have to agree...it is one the very coolest Reverso.....i would go dark on dial.
Because the early versions are quite tough to find, and they add a sublte but very warm patina which sings to my heart. Mechanically speaking, it is not a joker, it is a Watch which should deserve much more interest AND affection. We are speaking of a manual winding and in house chronograph, here... Will post a review on it. I give myself one year to find the one I am looking for. Best, Nicolas
.. those Reversos have their own spell, I trust ! As per your secret : You (vice versa) reminded me.. on my own JLC base vs my (humble) Rolex tic-tacs: About the same ratio, just inverse... Best, my friend ! hs
