Anyone ever bought a reverso rep recently? Some TDs like Toro Bravo said its a great watch while others like Trusty Time say its a bad quality watch in terms of the actual reveso mechanism. I wanted to see what people who own one think.

I have one of Angus's original batch of Reversos. I added a bit of graphite lubricant to improve the slide mechanism, a 5 min job and it reverses very smoothly. It's on a Ziczac leather python strap.

Wow looks absolutely beautiful! I’ll look into graphite lubricant as you said because this is one of my favorite watches and I really want it to be good lol. Any tips on how to apply the lubricant? And thanks for the response!

Look at the JLC section of the forum, you'll find more in a few recent threads

Will do thanks. I love how they look, Im only concerned about the reversing mechanism.

Reversing mechanism is fine, can't remember seeing a recent thread or even an old one about issues with it.
I have two Reverso rep, the older one is now 3 years old, it has not shown any sign of wear

Just read the entire thread from December of when it first got released and you guys were all hype lol. I had dealer clocks and trusty time tell me the reversing mechanism was not smooth but I guess they’re comparing it to gen. As long as it doesn’t break or randomly have issues is the main thing. But from what I’ve read I think I’m going to pull the trigger on a Reverso tribute small seconds. Thanks for the help!

Glaude I was also wondering which TD you got your reps from? I buy from Trusty usually but I heard one single bad review about his reverso and now I’m paranoid lmao.

TD choice is a very personal matter, if anything I always find "smaller" TD to be more efficient and nice to deal with. I can't decide for you and I wouldn't want to disclose my TD at the risk of influencing people to go toward one or the other because I'm staff.

Check the feedback section of each TD and see if the review pleases you, check the terms & conditions of each TD and see if that work for you
