Best JLC Reverso available

Recommended Posts

I've searched many days (maybe up to 5-6 days with 8 hours each day) for the best JLC Reverso rep (not the square squadra model) and they seem to be the below:

Sadly, they are not from a TD and are quartz. If these came in automatic (and to a lesser extent from a TD (I would still buy from Andrew or Josh)) I would snatch them up in a sec.

 

Just a heads up as I've seen many people asking for good reverso reps. In terms of aesthetics these are it. There are some others that are poorer in terms of aesthetics but have automatic or hand wound movement.

Do a bit more searching in rep geek and you might find a new 1:1 coming...

I did a search on rep geek as you suggested and saw poll in which the Reverso Grande Taille was voted by users to be the next 1:1 watch that Angus from Puretime request from the makers but nothing much else. It's not guaranteed that it will be going into production. Is this to what you are referring?

Warning; I have scoured all sites for a Jaeger Reverso and I have come up with F all. I have tried Idolreps, ttw, and some other trusted and untrusted dealers and they all have nada. Rien.

 

This is probably because it's impossible to get a mainstream rep movement to put into the thin case of a 1:1 Reverso case. There is a skeleton movement on TTW that is the best manual winding mvt I have seen but even this looks terrible. Best thing I can suggest in this instance is get a genuine one as the rep makers haven't been able to pull it off yet.

Hi Wooda,

 

I just ordered a JLC Reverso Grand Taille from Josh at Perfect Clones. His QC pictures seemed quite well, I would have loved to have a deployment clasp on it but couldn't be that choosy.

 

He also has some sample QC pictures on his website for the watch. You can pick up slight differences from the Authentic versus the replica. I am sure the dimensions of the watch compared to the authentic will be off, along with the dial placements etc.

 

This is the closest that I found to an authentic reverso. I have no knowledge about the movement but once I receive mine, I'll be sure to write a review on it. Let me know what you think.

I briefly had one of the cheapies from Silix. Quite underwhelming.

The reverso is coming. Two other TD's (one from here) have confirmed they have heard the same as well.

 

The puretime thread also said the Tag Space-X was coming but the Fifty Fathoms and the glut of Bronzo's seem to have overtaken them. Having seen dials etc I'm sure both watches will happen.....but I'm not holding my breath

no news from my last post anyway :|

 

Cheers mate!

 

Such a shame they don't make progress on this one. I think many of us would love to have a good Reverso rep.

The caseset from my Squadra Chrono looks identical to the one posted. The mechanism is a charm, flips in a second and real fun to use. The quartz seconds at 6 are so small You can´t almost see them and at least it´s as reliable and solid feeling as they come, it´s more re-assuring than a 7750 and nicer than a non-working chrono imo. Nothing rattles or feels somehow loose and by flipping the dial You just turn it into a solid tank. The gen has a different date positioning at 12, but unless You´re looking at pictures You really don´t know/remember where it should be. If they bring out something better it will be great, because functionally this one is already very good.

I'm overjoyed this may be a reality soon. The Reverso extra thin is my grail but I will settle for any suitable rep.

Hi Guys. I don't post very often (OK, never) because I think I'm the only lady in this forum. I've been following this thread for a while because its my dream watch. I have been saving for a Reverso Duetto forever. They don't make any ladies reps so I'll have to buy a used Gen.... However, this would be an awesome present for my dad.

I am wondering who Angus is because his name isn't on the TD list.... Which company does he work with? Please when the watch is released could someone post the name of the company where I can buy this? (I'm currently buying an Omega Seamaster for my husband from Michelle at Silix, could she get it for me too?)

Thank you so much!!! :-)

Angus is the dealer of Puretime, he is TD on other boards. Not sure about ETA, but I think it will be no sooner than March.
