gemballa Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Anyone any opinions or reviews on this new piece? Looks spectacular except the Quartz aspect but apart from that it's looking like a very tempting proposition. Is it only available from Andrew at PT?
prdubis Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 From Angus, Andrew is another dealer... Was supposed to be released last week, no news for the moment...
gemballa Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Posted July 25, 2015 I meant Angus at Puretime. Getting mixed up with Andrew at Trusty, sorry. So has this been delayed? It appears to be in stock at PT...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 I ordered one the moment I could. Figure this is a rare enough bird to take the chance. No QC pictures yet.

I wanted to do the same this weekend. Thought I would hear some thoughts/see some pics first though. Cheers

ogladio Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 Any QC pics or took delivery on this yet? A lot of QC pics posted on RG, not here though I think.
gemballa Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Posted August 1, 2015 A lot of QC pics posted on RG, not here though I think. Do you have a link please - had a look earlier but couldn't find anything. Cheers

alt.watch.obsessive Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Mine arrived last week. This is certainly the best of the dress reps that I can think of. It's much thinner than I anticipated and wears just a bit smaller. I find the size just right. Quality seems very high. The case sits very securely in the "carriage" but still moves nicely. The engraving is very gen-like. Buckle is very good.The quartz movement is interesting. I was concerned that it might tick loudly, like a swatch. But it is completely quiet in part because it only ticks about once every 10 seconds. This results in a relatively big movement of the minute hand, but there is no way it can be noticed on such a small watch face. Time keeping is perfect. On the whole I think this is a perfect solution to get the thinness. If you like the looks, don't worry at all about the movement.The strap sucks of course.

HaydenM Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 From what I have seen on RG they seem to be gorgeous, for a while it didn't seem like it would come out. I would love to see if it would be possible to use a vintage movement (Maybe women's mechanical?) in the case and convert it from quartz to mechanical, but I assume it would be a dramatic modification to the watch.

Any pics?
alt.watch.obsessive Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 I ordered the cheap strap and swapped it out for a standard Camile Cournet gator. Here's a crappy iPhone shot if it will attach...

prdubis Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Is this Reverso still exclusive to Puretime, or other TDs can get it now?
