Thats a beauty.  The Grande Reverso GMT is a great watch.  I'm one of those people that the 8 day case size doesn't work well on, I find the GT case size better for me.  I know lots of people that have had issues with the deployant on JLCs (and Langes) and by turning it to face the other direction some people find it more comfortable.  Anyway, great watch thanks for sharing a photo.

Many thanks.

Yeah, I'm in love with attention to detail on this one. But my wrist is flat and 7-3/4" / 200 mm around; I doubt it would be all that wearable if that wasn't the case, especially with the factory alligator strap. I've read about the upside-down-deployant tip, but I'm very lucky in that it fits the curve of my wrist like it was custom-made when it's on right-side-up as God intended. This is definitely one to try before you buy, though.

Hey guys!

Considering some of your advice, I ended up snatching a used 2005 Omega SMP (full-size) from WUS. Surprisingly, it's in near-mint condition, and I'm loving it. Here's how it looks on my 6'' wrist:

Despite my concerns, It really doesn't look big at all in person. I would have been dissatisfied with the mid-size.

Congrats on your SMP. Looks great. I think you made the right choice going with the full size watch. Enjoy it!

I just got the tools to resize the bracelet on my recently purchased used Seamaster titanium chronograph. I have a small wrist too and not a big bracelet fan so will probably get a cordovan strap.

I'm very pleased with this one...

The 1675 is sporting a new look lately, too:

And one for the NATO haters:

Fantastic watches Belligero - love them both!

I love the blue hue of the GMT bezel. Do you a Pepsi bezel too?

I have previously tried on the Grande Reverso GMT and was quite smitten by it.

What the hell... They are wrapped around a grenade. +points for most unique watch photoshots.

Did someone say "Pepsi"!?

That's because GMTs are the bomb.


They do look kinda cute in a knit cap, though:

Doesn't a GMT become useless if you live in the same time zone?
