Grande Reverso 986 Duodate Manufactured in 2009

Story

I have wanted a Reverso Duo since I first saw that beautiful magical sliding motion, but first its price (I was still studying and then early in my career) then its small size (I have big wrists) kept me in doubt. With the 986 I could finally realize my dream but could then not find one at any dealer. Was I doomed never to have one? Finally, thanks to a friend who had bought one in 2009 and never worn it, preferring rather to sell it to me, I got my hands on one and now 'wear a real watch.'
