It all depends on the intensity of your love for your first choice,
Or for the new Memo.
Waiting 8 more weeks for the SIHH, but how many more months to see the novelties land?
It wil be a Reverso year, next year, so if you're on to buy a complicated Reverso, wait a bit to see what JLW will release.
If you are on to get the new Memo; just because you ove it, you can't go wrong, it is a Classic.
Best,

To wait or not to wait ... SIHH 2011
I have a rather childish dilemma and your collective wisdom is very much welcome. A few months after SIHH 2010 I developed a sudden urge to buy another JLC to replace one I sold by mistake (down to only two now). At first I was attracted to the Navy Seals...
Not just you. With the New Year fast approaching...
...I am more inclined to wait to. Thank you. Ruckdee
I would
stay in the original plan. It is clear that new Reversos are introduced but some old models are perhaps dropped. I have found that in general it is better to stay in the original plan because in my case when I have changed my plans, the changes have not b...
Thank you, Kari. I checked and the IWC chrono costs more than I thought.
So I would rather stick with JLC. Besides, I already have a Portuguese Seven Days and a GST Aquatimer before that so I am not in a big rush to get an IWC. Ruckdee

When I decided on the first choice...
...it was a full year to the expected delivery of 2011 novelties in my country in August or September. But that period has shortened somewhat now so I may just wait and see. Thank you, Nicolas. Ruckdee
Destiny
It may be destiny that the Reverso did not land in your hands, or that the one you did get was not to your liking. Your post suggests that the Memovox was your ideal choice this year but that you ordered the Reverso on an impulse. If so, I would propose d...
The only problem I have with the Memovox is I won't get to wear it much.
It is classy, elegant, dressy and all. But I work from home and wear jeans and casual clothing on a daily basis. If I get the Memovox, the number of days I can wear it in a year will be quite limited like the Master Moon I owned. I ordered that particular...
Wait, wait, wait
Ruckdee, I would say you try to be patient. See what 2011 SIHH has to offer. Of course i should follow my own advice...LOL. But I have definitely held off on a Reverso until at least I see what JLC does in 2011. None of the watches you specifically mentio...
You said my mind exactly. I just want to hear it from somebody else besides myself.
With my planned wedding next year, I can afford to buy only one watch for myself this year and the next. I have to make it count. Remember the 75th anniversary? When there were super expensive models and the more affordable ones like the Grande Sun Moon a...
my choice would be wait for few more weeks...
... i trust MJLC wlll be surprising us very soon, no harm to wait a little bit more if you are not in a hurry. stefan
Well, it looks like...
the XGT 8-day Reversos are being discontinued (at least, the old ones), which is a shame because I LOVE a long power reserve. However, the new Grande Reverso size (976 or larger 986) versions are quite nice, and - who knows - JLC might do a 15-day power r...
If the past years are any indication, it will be August or September...
...when the first lot of the year's new launches arrives in my country. It has been like this for at least the past four or five years. Thank you for bringing up this point. The XGT size I can wear although it is a tad bit too thick on my skinny wrist. Th...
Just my opinion....
For me, I will wait for new Reverso for a few months. But for someone who already have Reverso like you, I suggest that new Memovox would be a good option. Check this out, for your consideration... Cheers, Garfield....
