Flip Cartier Tank solo for reverso 1931?

Currently I have 14060m, 3570.50, tank solo large, and a G-shock.

As you can see, I like collecting iconic watches and I want to keep my collection to 6 watches total (including G-shock). For this reason, I just want one rectangular watch in my collection, and am deciding between tank solo and reverso.

The tank solo I have is a quartz watch and I'm trying to decide whether to flip this to get reverso 1931. I have a small wrist at 6.25 inches, but at 46mm lug to lug, reverso 1931 shouldn't be a problem in terms of how it will fit my wrist.

Two remaining spots in my collection would take some time to get filled since I want nautilus 5711 and either calatrava 5196G or RO 15202 for these spots.

Please help me decide. Thank you in advance!

I'll make it easy for you...YES!

I would rather own a Reverso over a quartz Tank, any day.

I much prefer the Reverso, but it would be helpful to try it on first...for me, rectangular watches fit differently, so the tank and Reverso may look different on the wrist despite similar sizes. With that said, I love my tribute to 1931

Don’t ignore or overlook the Girard–Perregaux Vintage 1945 models – I’d sooner have one of those than the JLC Reverso.

If it doesn’t have to have straight sides, then the door is open to look at the GP Richeville models too For example (and spelt wrongly!) – https://www.chrono24.co.uk/girardper...-id6787561.htm

A quartz Tank Solo vs JLC Reverso? Absolutely the Reverso, no questions.

Because this is a dress watch my guess if you wont wear it as often as your others so I would keep the tank and focus on your other two targets.
