The verso side of this watch is amazing. It will keep my eyes glued to it...
...for a good part of the day if I had it on my wrist. I think this watch serves you well as you have to manage multiple timezones. And as a travel watch I think this is as low profile as it gets for a stainless steel watch.
I came very close to buying the black version of this watch twice but eventually shifted my target elsewhere one time because of availability and another because of another reason which I cannot recall at this moment. I planned to wear it on a leather strap though. The massive bracelet is too overwhelming for my wrist anyway.
Thanks for posting your review and thoughts on how this watch could be improved. As you said, it is already a very fine watch.

re: review
Thanks for sharing your impressions! Do you travel much to take advantage of the hometime function? -MW
I make something in the neighborhood of 10 trips a year, most of which are abroad.
And since home isn't where my permanent residence is, i always keep the hometime to Beijing.
Very nice first post and great pictures.
Congratulations on getting the watch and thanks for the very detailed review. It will definitely give people a lot to think about. Best regards, George
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this review, D.
It is always interesting to read owners opinion on a watch which is their trustful companion. A comment or two, if you allow me: 4 secs per day is excellent and much better than the COSC requirements. ( - 4 + 6 per day, if I remember correctly ). About th...
Agreed
I was really just nit-picking and thinking of ways it could be "better", but I agree that for the pricepoint and purpose, the finishing is adequate. In terms of the consistent +4 seconds, i'm not very concerned since if it was driving me crazy (it's not) ...
Very nice review
Thanks for the review. I thought it was very thoughtful and accurate. I would have to say that the only complaint with mine (minor) is that the luminous hands are not very bright and unreadable in even the blackest of nights.
Good point
I didn't even know the hands were lumed until I shined a flashlight at it and saw the faint glow, it's effectively not lumed.

One small correction...
I believe the summer/winter - day/night adjustment is 4mm x 2 (4mm on each side). I've always liked this watch, especially since the Autotractor is such a robust movement. In truth, I think I prefer the Grande Automatique, due to having a large date and a...
Great read!
Thank you for sharing! I jumped on the Squadra when it was released. First the HT in SS and later the first LE RG version... The SS is long gone be I still enjoy the RG! ? Best Blomman...
Thanks for sharing
How is the articulated rubber bracelet? (in terms of comfort compared to say the normal flat rubber or the bracelet) D
congrats on an oustanding reverso and thanks for the review
All I can say is congrats for having chosen a very nice version of the reverso which is functional and elegant. For me the movement is very clean and enoug helegant.
