Time For A Classic: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo Watch
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is one of the most classic watches out there still being made today. Easily up there in some top 10 list, if one was ever to be established (note to self - work on top 10 classic watches list). Since its creation way back when (maybe the 1930s) it has been an iconic watch for Jaeger-LeCoultre. One of the most simple and classic, but still interesting Reverso models being sold today is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duo. The original Reverso watches did not have dual faces. One side was metal to protect the watch during polo matches. When Jaeger-LeCoultre really revived the Reverso watch, they decided to put the other side of the watch to good use, and give the timepiece two faces.As such, you can flip around the watch to get another side. In this instance each side has a different watch face design, each showing its own time. The internal manually wound mechanical movement powers both faces, that each give a different time.

Omega vs Rolex
I am relatively new to high-end watches but have seen and tried on many Rolex watches. Went to an Omega AD yesterday and tried on several nice watches and was a bit disappointed. Any thoughts?

QoS PO & SMP or PAM 111?
I currently own a LE QoS PO. I initially intended to flip it tomorrow for a PAM 111. Today a shipment arrived and it was 3 nato straps and a carbon fiber leather strap, all which I ordered a while ago. They're 20mm and won't do any good on the PO, nor on the Panerai.I've also recently been playing with the thought of getting a SMP, a smaller watch for daily wear, which I can play with along with the natos and straps.1.jpgThe thing is I can't afford all the above. I can either flip the PO for the PAM or keep the PO and get a Quartz, black SMP.2.jpgWhat do you guys think I should do? Oh and I know this sounds lame but if the rumours are true and the next 007 would have a Rolex, would my QoS PO be any more valuable, since it's that last Bond watch?

5712 vs. 5726: movement noise, case thickness
Planning my first PP purchase, been doing some essential reading but have a question for those who are more familiar with the specific models.1. Case thickness:5711 - somewhere around 8.5mm (but stand to be corrected)5712 - ditto 9.5mm5726 - ditto 11.6mm (reportedly almost identical to that of a contemporary Daytona)As I am looking to get a sleek and light watch, the debate is how light or not the 5712 and the 5726 wear.I've tried the 5712 (gold TT case and leather band), so I wonder how the 5726 compares to that. Having a Daytona I'm trying to imagine for a comparison but any brief opinions would be welcome.FYI I've tried the 5980 (steel of course) and it's too bulky for me.2. Movement noise:Been reading a number of pertinent threads for these models and saw members like Kevin ('yessir69') but also David ('perpetualman88') who have been talking about the 240 micro rotor movement of the 5712 which is ...virtually silent in comparison... with the non-micro rotor movement of the 5726.Sam
