thealphabeta Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey all Want to get some advice. A friend of mine is after the Reverso and looking at andrews pics it looks pretty good. I wondered if anyone had any experience with it, i.e. the reverso mechanism? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey all Want to get some advice. A friend of mine is after the Reverso and looking at andrews pics it looks pretty good. I wondered if anyone had any experience with it, i.e. the reverso mechanism? Thanks I got the Reverso from Andrew about one year ago, so I'm unsure if we are speaking about the same model. That watch was quite inexpensive, but the reverso mechanism had a flaw. One of the two small pins keeping the watch steady was a little too short so it was unable to keep the watch firm. Just one single sharp wrist movement, and the watch would reverse even when undesired. Maybe it was just my watch, another one might be ok. It might also be an easy fix if I only could figure which kind of fix I had to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 @sssurfer I have been looking at those Reverso from Andrew & Josh for a while but couldn't find the corresponding gen Do you think these Reverso ever existed ?

sssurfer Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have been looking at those Reverso from Andrew & Josh for a while but couldn't find the corresponding gen Do you think these Reverso ever existed ? I seem to remember that after some extensive search before purchasing that watch I came out with three conclusions: 1 - No exact genuine like that 2 - There were literally hundreds and hundreds different genuine models, so noone can be sure whether a given model does exist or not 3 - I liked that watch more than the gens I saw. But it was a double face model, one white face and the other black. I just checked Andrew's and Joshua's sites and verified that their current models are different from the one I got. So I suppose that all my contributions to this thread are off-centered. My apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The current Reversos are rubbish. First, they're WAY too thick. Second, the flip mechanism is clumsy and roughly finished. I've seen quite a few (and owned two), and clumsy is not what this watch is supposed to be all about. Plus, none of them are remotely close to the gens. I would avoid them if I were you. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craytonic Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you order one be careful; I have seen some where the put a completely incorrect face on reverse side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I purchased a few from Jay's low priced site,... the outer holder for the swivel was made of a low grade metal.. though he was supposed to fix that issue... however as I write this one sits here and still runs after two years... He has a better model on his prime site,.. though it's not the duo.. it does have a date wheel,.. something that the other models lacked.. including those that I received from Andrew,.. though he seems to have the same model now.. {purchased from Andrew pre-revelation bad business practices..} Regarding accuracy however,.. Jlc made so many different models... the variety of reversos is so staggering that it would take an expert or reverso nerd to know them all.... I do however find them a bit chunky for such a small diameter watch,.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
