a very good review coming from Nic. As you promised to write one long time ago. Thanks!!
JLC Gran sport represents part of the Reverso history. It is thick, it has to be for it is rated 50m water resistant. It looks a bit odd compared to other 'traditional' Reverso, because it was the first sports version of Reverso. It comes with plastic band for those who want actions but also it is equipped a bracelet for those who are a bit conservative. Leather was not considered to be appropriate for a sports watch. And there is already an alternative, the Gran Sport automatic which comes with leather, plastic and bracelet.
Underrated or not, it does not bother me as I am enjoying mine and I do not care if anyone has noticed it. What counts is I know it has a unique chronograph movement, something designed from scratch and not borrowing a base from other manufacturers like some other watches. More importantly, it is so comfortable to wear. Accuracy? +2 seconds / 24.
Mind you, the service fee (overhaul) has now revised to US1,220. Enough to purchase a lot of other goodies.
