Thanks for advice
Hi Nick,
Thanks for sound advice and at the end of the day for me to just let this be an emotional buy.
I do have a big wrist for an Singapore guy- about 7.5 increase for a good fit. I remember wearing a few of the JLC straps and needed to use the second-last pinhole and end of the strap simply could not be nicely tucked-in...an issue with squadra hometime and the reverso grande date! I was surprised about the whole strap issue (leather) and wearing comfort that I decided to get both those watches some time back.
Nick, you are probably right. I will be trying out the Squadra World Chrono later this afternoon and hope that the rubber option will be good for me. However, I was always attracted to the Reverso Grnade GMT since like forever! It will still come to a side-by-side comparision!
As for the infringement of the policy on no discussion about pricing: Readers- PLEASE IGNORE MY PS SIDENOTE. Cheers to all and have a nice day. I appreciate any comments other readers may have and care to share with me. Thank you all.

Reverso Grande GMT

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...
Tough choice

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,...
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 t...
