After much deliberation and cajoling of my better half, I have just ordered my new watch, which is a Reverso Squadra Hometime - stainless steel/white dial/leather strap. I am so excited I can't tell you! It is my first brand new JLC, my only previous JLC being a 1977 Memovox. When I receive the watch I will post some pictures.
Thanks to all purists who have taken the time to post messages & pictures of the Squadra and other JLC watches which helped me make my decision.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks

You heard your heart on you went on it....
I'm very happy for you, my friend, and can't wait to see your pics.
The Squadra is something new, which requires time, I think, to get its beauty and its interest.
I'm more and more looking on it, too.
Best, my friend.
Share your joy with us, it's always refreshing!

Having settled on a Reverso, I was torn between the Reverso Grand Date and the Squadra HT. I tried them both on in Cellini on a recent trip to NYC and I preferred the fit and size of the Squadra. The trouble is, I love the majority of watches from JLC and find it really difficult to decide what to go for. I would love them to re-produce a Master Control Memovox (don't know why that one was discontinued) or a Squadra Memovox - maybe sometime in the future.
That said, I am more than happy with my choice. The Squadra hasn't "grown" on me, I have liked it since it was introduced.
Cheers
David
