I think the Reverso would be an excellent addition Eric.

Good luck with your choice.

The Reverso is always a good choice. I do love that Grande GMT shot above.

Get the Blancpain, Eric - the FF 'Dark Knight' is a fantastic watch

Here's a pic of one under less harsh lighting...

while I also appreciate the reverso as a wonderful watch for sure, very classy, the BP FF DK is a thing apart...but both are very different, depending on what occassions you are looking to wear this purchase...if it is sports wear, go for BP FF DK, its timeless, while if it is formal or a little dressier, Reverso is also a good choice...if it is something that can work in both cases, Omega PO

That looks great! I have 7" wrist so it will look a bit smaller but still nice for work.

Just 'OK' on the blacked out model, unlike the regular version which shines like a torch...

absolutely love some of the JLC's, such as the master compressor and wish I could justify their cost at this time :/
