As I started my search into the higher end of horology - JLC has been my first choice since I read a review of the Extreme Lab 2 a number of years back on a flight home. The short list of my final search to a purchase consisted of the MC line (and extreme), GO Senator Observer, IWC portuguese and a couple Grande Date Zeniths.
Today I took a surprise trip to Philly and was able to look at a few things at Tourneau. I have been worried the MC line would prove too small for me with just over an 8" wrist. Everything I saw that was 40mm-42mm looked tiny as expected...which is why I always discounted the Reverso from my online search. Then i saw it...the Squadra Titanium World Time. I needed it until the salesman told me it was 19k. That seemed odd and still does now that I have checked prices online.
So, now I am in search for one and for Reverso info in general - I think specifically the Squadra. Hoping you all can help me out with a few questions to get me jump started:
-Are all Squadras the same case size? The sales guy told me they are but I am not sure that is correct
-Any place I can go to see all of the Squadras that were made?
-Are any of the non-squadras the same size as the squadra?
-Anyone have a Squadra that can give me pros or cons? Specifically any reason that this should not be at the top of my list?
-Any comparison of the Titanium vs Steel version? Is the material of the case the only difference? Can I still get the black.rubberized bracelet with the steel for a few bux less?
-Do you have one for sale? b-)
I will do my own research but hoping you all can give me a few quick answers to get me moving in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
