I assume the same Ruckdee. I feel bad for Duodate owners (I was thinking of getting it before instead of 976), this is the same movement in a thinner case, and due not being limited edition, a cheaper price perhaps. The dials are in the same 'spirit'.

2011 Reverso Duo

 
 By: robsallnow : January 17th, 2011-11:38
I am rather excited, they've announced the new Reverso Duoface which looks just like a 986 (with the date window) but 976 sized, lacks the outer guilloche bit on the silver dial and a 'flatter' black dial.....and it's not a limited edition. Looks like my ... 

That sounds really nice, Rob! :)

My favourite Reverso so far is the TT 1931. SS, black dial. Eagerly awaiting live photos… Best Blomman

What is that "right size" for you? Smaller than Grande Reverso...

...but larger than GT and not as thick as XGT? That sounds ideally good to me too. Good to hear you are liking that new Grande Reverso Duo. I like the fact that there is no pusher as well. It makes me nervous for fear of activating it accidentally and thu...

I always wanted a Duo but after years of lusting after one but when I could finally afford one found it was too small, plus several 'subtle' design changes I didn't 'approve' of, the changed black dial, the circular sub seconds dial, the pusher instead of... 

Our Reverso journeys are very similar.

I came to know the Reverso line probably because of the old Reverso Duo in GT size. And like you, I don't quite like the changed black dial and the full-sized pusher. I did like the new white dial though. In any case, the XGT size came out and I liked it ...

I wanted to get the old Reverso Duo but its size was too small for me, wish I have waited for the news on this one... Anyone know the list price for this new Reverso Duo?

It will be months before the watch is actually available.

You can enjoy your 976 in the mean time and get rid it of it when the Grande Reverso Duo comes out. Regarding price, I would presume that this new Duo will be slightly less expensive than the 986 as that was a limited edition. Is this a logical train of t...

Hey, if this is any consolation, I bought my 976 knowing that...

...this new Grande Reverso Duo is coming out. As for Duodate owners, I feel bad too because I think JLC should not follow with so similar a watch so soon. Ruckdee

ok I take back the 'lack of innovation' comment

Literally in the last minute they have announced the Repetition Minutes A Rideau...which they claim has 'four faces' thanks to sliding curtains!!!!...
