I wonder if I really do like it more than the Master Control Calendar. I really want a moon phase too, but the Reverso moon phase is too much.

An enviable predicament to be in.

Personally, I would end up selecting the Master Control as I think it would fit in to more situations than the Reverso would.

However, unless it would live on a winder when I wasn't wearing it, I'd pass because the moonphase would be a pain to have to set every time.

Did the Reverso have another watch face?

I was considering either a Reverso or the Master Control Sector. Wound up going Reverso because it’s the historic watch and I wouldn’t have to save as long, and I’m glad I did. Wound up with a Classique, and at first it seemed so small, but now it looks perfect on my wrist. Only thing that keeps me from wearing it more than 1-2 times a week is the alligator strap — changing straps on it is a beast, so I’m just going to leave this on it and not wear it for super casual stuff. So unless you want to change straps all the time, my vote is for the Reverso.

Yes, I didn't take a pic this time, but last time I tried one on I did.

I don't know a great deal about JLC. But this gets my vote. I love it. If there's something on the flipside, that's just icing on the cake. I'd be incredibly pleased with that watch. I really like the lighter color dial and I think it works as a more casual watch with that strap.

Wrist shot of the Master Control? I suspect it’d look great as well.

Thanks! Both are gorgeous, but I think the Reverso seems to offer a better fit on your wrist.
