Incoming JLC Reverso Duo

I have been kicking around acquiring a reverso for at least 10 years, but was never sure about the rectangular shape and I was concerned it would be too dressy.

Finally pulled the trigger on this one last week and am super glad I did. I am surprised at how versatile it is with the brown strap and the rectangular shape is a welcome alternative to my other watches.

This watch screams style, and has an amazing presence on the wrist. I highly recommend a reverso to anyone that is on the fence like I was.

Congratulations! I have the medium version and I think this is among the best Reversos ever. It really is versatile, particularly with the quick change straps and the two faces, as it's also almost two watches (or more with strap changes) in one. This also makes it a great value. Wear it in good health.

I’ve tried this one and think it’s a very nice piece. My only hang up was the rectangle…. I guess I’m just a circle and square kind of guy. But it is still a damn fine watch.

Congratulations! Looks amazing and the brown strap certainly does add to the flexibility. Enjoy!

Very nice. The JLC Reverso is one in a very rare class of watch where they look so much better on a leather strap than a bracelet.

That is a great watch with the duo face… day and night wear casual or dress. One of the most stylish watches ever made!

I love that black strap on it also. Thinking about getting one for mine.

I am a big fan of the reverso. Classic look. I have never tried one on. Does it feel substantial or is there a massive weight difference to a sports watch?

It is definitely a lighter feel than something like a sub or speedmaster, but it still has good wrist presence.
