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'... 

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... 

...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 ... 

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 d...

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... 

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.

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.
