Which model of reverso is the biggest physical size, I'm not too familiar with their products (though nearly bought a master moon a few years back)

was thinking of adding a reverso of sorts to the collection but those gorrilla wrists of mine might be too big!

(would prob just get a basic as its the style rather than the complications that impress me and the gyro T is way way way out of my price range :wink:

Difficult question to answer due to shape.

XGT range are 45 - 47mm tall, but only 29mm across.

Squadra range is only 41mm tall, but 35mm across.

Not Grand Taille, they are only 42mm.

The XGTs are taller - models are all Reverso Grande - GMT, Date, etc

I looked at them briefly, but really only for novelty value - they son't do much for me.

Still pondering the Ball - part of me thinks I'm just looking at it because its an LE, and I'd be better off saving my cash for a Breitling / Zenith splurge later in the year. Really should finish paying for the Legende first too!!

Thats a great watch, but since you are heading in that direction you might as well get THE best value in watch complications, the all mighty Grande GMT Reverso. You get TWO watches in one, no need to choose between a white dial or black one as you will get BOTH. The black dial is gorgeous and the white dial is pure class. Do it!!!!!!!

Yes, The Grande GMT is sperb, have had a look around...prices vary but roughly the same as a navi world if bought online....not prohibitive for such a nice set of useful features and effectively two watches in one!

oh well....birthday in september....you never know :wink: :roll: :lol: :lol:
