Help needed...

Thanks for this...I am actually considering to purchase this model, problem is where I live I don't have AD so cant try the model and see if it fits in terms of size etc.

Just a help call from other members as I am spending hours and hours on forums and don't feel any progress

- This one is automatique, do you think Reverso lose its charm not being manual?

- My biggest concern is size, I do have relatively large wrist as I can comfortably wear Panerai 44mm for example and also AP ROO. Nevertheless, since I have already large watches I want something smaller and more discreet for work etc. That's way I am looking both at regular Duo (42.2mmx26mmx9.3mm) and this one which is slightly smaller than regular Grandes and is 47mmx28.3mmx11.6mm.

I would wear the watch mostly at work so usual business suite etc. My wrist is cca 18, 19cm so around 7.5inches.

Am afraid 11.6mm would be too thick and large but also that regular Duo may be too small. Any help/view is highly appreciated!

Was also looking at ultra thin models but I like the look of Arabic numerals dial...

Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Duo Automatic large case: Technical Drawing.

By: amanico : May 12th, 2016-00:02

I posted this new Reverso, unveiled this year at the SIHH. What I didn't show you is the technical drawing of the case, which I received later. I am quite fond of these drawings, showing the structure and the complexity of the Reverso case. Enjoy. Nicolas...

Thanks for sharing

I totally enjoy the technical drawing of the Reverso case.

My pleasure. It is a different way to have a look at the Reverso. [nt]

The proportions are good for your wrist. Now...

1/ I would always favor a manual winding Reverso. 2/ The thickness is ok, but I prefer when it is slightly thinner. Best, Nicolas

Thanks Nicolas

Would definitely need to see it in flesh before I make decision... Fully understand the point for manual one, would prefer it that way as well. Best, Uros

You also have the possibility of the Reverso 8 days... [nt]

By: amanico : May 12th, 2016-08:39

thanks, didnt look at this one as I think its discountinued (didnt see it on JLC site)...

Im afraid that at the end I will pull the trigger without even seeing the watch but...

Yes, discontinued for a bit less than 10 years, now. [nt]

Hi UA, are you open to the grand reverso ultra thin duo face? It's 46.8 x 27.4, it's 9.4 mm thick, and it's manual wind. I find it very elegant. It does have the pusher which some don't like but which I love. Happy hunting! [nt]

Thanks for suggestion...was just looking this one these few days:)

By: UA : May 16th, 2016-05:40

By looking at the size it looks perfect, only negative is lack of Arabic numerals on main dial. For some reason I got fix on numbers dial. Its bit less formal I think and I would use it during day on work etc, ultra thin duoface very elegant I agree and d...

Hi Uros, there will probably be an adjustment in size, coming from royal oak and Panerai. What at first looks small may later look perfect. I have a 976, it seemed the right size when I got it but would now prefer a bit smaller. 976 is 48mm, manual

By: watchthatman : May 16th, 2016-07:02

And Arabic. I agree that Arabic means versatility. 976 is 10.3 mm. If I was getting a white metal silver dial reverso with Arabic I would do a grande taille.

Thanks for this...

By: UA : May 18th, 2016-13:53

Out of curiosity what is your wrist size if you know? also when you say too large it was also too thick or not? Checked at JLC International site where they have included new Large duoface and thickness is also slightly above 10mm so interesting to hear y...

I'll have to see how big my wrist is. I believe it's on the small side. That being said, I'd be fine wearing a 44mm Panerai. The thing is, Panerai and everyone who followed them into the big watch realm, they conditioned us to want the big watches.

By: watchthatman : May 18th, 2016-19:11

976 is a bit thick compared to the ultra thins, but what seems too big for me is the length and width. The length spans my entire wrist if you include the lugs. However I do love the dial and decoration on my 976, so I\'ll keep it. If it was a plain 976, ...

Engraving at the back must be looking stunning as well btw not sure why did JLC discontinued models such as Grand Sun Moon, that piece with 8days reserve looks stunning... Back to my hunting I decided to park it a bit until I travel abroad which should be...

If you like this ROO, then you'll adore this one...

But help me not sure I have seen this watch before?

Sorry now got it Master Compressor ext lab...amazing piece. Nevertheless I have my eye on duometre...maybe for my 40th birthday:) [nt]

By: UA : May 25th, 2016-07:06

The Duometre would be THE choice. +1 [nt]

By: amanico : May 25th, 2016-09:20

Yes it is THE watch for watch lovers...

By: UA : May 26th, 2016-06:01

Was dangerously close to get pink gold Chronometre but it was skeletonized which I ultimately didn't like (dial too busy). Price offered was very good but still.... And pink gold would be a second place, white gold/black dial and platinum absolutely gorge...

Thanks Nico! Those drawings are fantastic. Elegantly fits together. This watch may be growing on me. I really like how they represented day/night with the rays and the parallel lines. [nt]

Cool drawing!

My pleasure, Blomman. [nt]

Reminds me of the old style cut away shots they had in car magazines [nt]

There is a bit of that, indeed! [nt]

Thanks for sharing Nicolas!

As for the lack of pusher, yes, I totally agree. An important improvement. [nt]

Very cool, but I don't see the "trigger" to change the 2nd time...
