In RG, even if I'm not a colored gold fan, I have to admit that this is one of the most beautiful MGUT, as the RG enhances the classicism of this watch.
As for your question, you know the XGT cases Reversos, as you owned the Grande Date.
So, you won't be surprised by the Grande GMT.
You will enjoy a 2d dial, which is really beautiful, and a friendly complication.
Without speaking of the pleasure to have an 8 Days Movement, buy you already know that, as you had it on your Grande Date.
As to know if it is a good buy because it is discontinued, I would not make my decision on this criteria.
This is not a rare bird, but it is a lovely one, which is the most important, to me.
Keep us updated, please!
Best,
Nicolas.
