A nice duo
I think these two watches are simply wonderful. The Gran Sport Chrono, I regard as one of the best reversos and a highly under-rated watch. The World Time Squadra Chrono has to be experienced to be appreciated. I have the rarer one with what I regard as the better watch band. The rubber band is ok, but the one in this photo simply flows over your wrist. For some, this latter watch is too big, not as far as I am concerned. These are the only two chrono reversos that I have - my other reversos are less complicated. I am looking forward to getting a repeater reverso .. in time (excuse the pun!).

Nicolas' advice to try it on and the right one will speak to you is perfectly correct. But since you are asking for opinions on these two watches, I would go for the Reverso Grande GMT. The more I look at it the more I think it is just an extraordinary wa...

I went to an authorised dealer this afternoon and was happy to see the Squadra World Chrono on display. Tried it on...big and bold! Unfortunately I did not have a side-by-side comparison today. Will have to do that sometime in the middle of the next week,...
