Is it the 8 days power reserve that’s important to you?
Otherwise if it’s a Reverso you are after but think the XGT case is to thin, you might consider the Reverso Squadra?
Most of the days when I wear the Rverso GMT if feels great!
But some days it really doesn’t feel right…
I wrote a post about it here some time ago.
Good luck hunting!
Please keep us posted how it turns out for you and congrats to your partner!

Grande GMT doesn't suit me :(
Bad news guys. Some of you might remember that I was planning to get the Grande GMT because it looks like the perfect watch for me (feature-wise). But then on my previous trip, I actually tried it on in person and it didn't suit me at all. Not because it'...
And what about a perpetual calendar 8 days?
It is a round watch, reasonably sized ( 41 mm ) associating 2 nice complications, with a nice dial, available in platinum or in RG ( you will have to hunt them, as they're discontinued ) but they are not too hard to find, especially the RG version. By the...
That is the golden rule...
...and I have broken it 4 times with great success. And one watch that I tried on many times before buying, in the end did not work after getting it and wearing it for a while. Go figure. But I still think it is a very good rule to follow, if you are not ...

What about the Squadra World Chrono...
if dual time is what you're after? The other watch I REALLY like is the Grande Duo-Date. It's significantly larger than the XGT series, and it is dual-time with a "True GMT" function (moves forwards or backwards through timezones AND date. -Dean
Well, the good news is that.....
Hello djmm, Sorry to hear that the Grande GMT didn't work out for you. The good news is that there are many other great pieces from JLC's extensive collection that you can look into! Happy hunting! -MW
re
What I like about GMT is the whole package, really. I love both dials at the front and back, and 8 days PR (because I plan to use it as weekend watch) and the overall Reverso style. I might look for round version but perpetual in precious metal is out of ...

Posts – maybe they will give you a hint if Squadra is the right direction for you? The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes... The Reverso Squadra report 4 years after launch Don’t get put off by my grading – I am very stingy when it comes to give stars...
thanks
I might try the Squadra the next time I am at the shop, but I still prefer a handwound watch in general though... But most probably I won't be getting a watch this year and maybe wait and see what the next release brings.
IMO
Hi, from your post, I think you should try on Grand Reverso 986 new model. It's a lot bigger than Grande GMT. Although it's reserve only around 40 hours on power, but I think it might suit you on it's dimension. Good luck.
