Anyone here ever gave thoughts to this? Which of these would would be a better looking piece for primarily office/dress and sport casual secondary duties. In my case the SubC and Ex42 polar takes care of most scenario and i'm pondering a 3rd piece to fill in the gaps.

Like i mentioned before i'm just curious and appreciate your thoughts on this

The Reverso is the formal option between the two. The Daytona is a sport chronograph.

I love them both...my JLC is a 986

Beautiful my friend! How do decide when/where to wear them if I may ask?

impalass · 16 November 2012, 08:39 PM

The Reverso is more dressy.

Personally my SS Daytona substitutes as my "dress" watch.

Honestly it's upto what I feel like wearing on the day! No real rules...maybe only one.
If its a hot day or an active day, it wont be the Reverso purely due to the sweat under strap issue for me.

Daytona will hold its value better, although the Reverso is a classic and not as commonly seen in the wild. Also as all my other watches are "sports" watches with bracelets opted for the Reverso as a dress/boardroom piece.

JLCs really are special !

Yes.

ralfcom · 16 November 2012, 10:06 PM

They are both wonderful. If you are looking for a dress watch, Reverso.

beshannon · 16 November 2012, 10:15 PM

I have both and wear both equally

nauticajoe · 16 November 2012, 10:16 PM

Daytona for me.

SPACE-DWELLER · 16 November 2012, 10:34 PM

For a dress watch: JlC!

Art 1 · 16 November 2012, 10:44 PM

Reverso would be the only choice for dress out of those two.

Time Exposure · 16 November 2012, 11:04 PM

Definitely JLC for dress watch.

Lumberjact · 16 November 2012, 11:05 PM

Of the two, I would say the Reverso. While some may be dressier than others, I wouldn't consider any current Rolex Professional series watch to be dressy.

Roller07 · 16 November 2012, 11:09 PM

Reverso 976 for sure

Daytona is a sports watch.

kilyung · 17 November 2012, 12:01 AM

I've worn both formally but the Reverso looks better.

jay1988 · 17 November 2012, 12:32 AM

The JLC is a more formal watch. It would also give you more variety in your collection and better contrast against the two Rolex's.

I have a JLC Reverso myself and along with the Sub it forms the perfect pairing. No occasion exists that would leave me unsure which watch to wear.

If I owned a Daytona it would be smart casual. It would go really well with a smart jumper and dark jeans. For the occasions you mentioned Reverso is the better option but the Daytona is good as well.

tkc324 · 17 November 2012, 01:07 AM

Def Daytona for me.

MagnusM · 17 November 2012, 08:14 PM

renfield33 · 17 November 2012, 08:19 PM

JLC is more formal. I'm looking into getting one to complement my Pepsi GMT II.

ND10 · 17 November 2012, 09:24 PM

Wow alot of JLC reverso love here. Some nice wrist shots there. I'm still on the fence for now but thanks for the feedback guys. Did manage to drop by the AD today and if you guys don't mind i'll post some pics?

Still get what you like/want. Daytona will do fine as a dress watch.

ND10 · 17 November 2012, 09:30 PM

No 116520 so this will have to do

But i must add that lucky me it didn't do much for me.

Like the Green on that Hulk..and the Blue one glad I wasn’t in your chair or both would have come home with me ..good luck and happy hunting

Palmasea · 18 November 2012, 05:58 AM

For diversification purposes in your collection I like the JLC reverso.

But a white dial ss daytona is as neutral as you can get - it will work well with all of your clothing. Most reversos in the current line up have either a dark brown or black strap - not as 'neutral' If you have the opposite colored suit or shirt.

SALTY · 18 November 2012, 08:46 AM

For my style, the Daytona is dressy enough though the JLC is more fitting in that catagory.
