Got my second reverso in the post this morning. The new tribute small seconds rep from the factory that no one seems to be able to pin down.

Will write a more detailed review in a few days but here are some initial videos.
Please note in the video i haven't removed the plastic film cover on the back. Additionally I've also changed out the strap again as the stock one is shite.

First thoughts: Lug holes for the strap are too low down within the lugs so there's a tiny but annoyingly noticeable gap between the watch and the strap where skin shows through. Noisy ticking. Crown thicker than gen and not recessed in to the case - very similar to the monoface classic - i posted videos towards the end of this thread - https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...erso-releasing-soon-looks-promising.10972857/

Lemme know any questions

A custom made strap can be used to close up the gap but the thick crown is sticking out like a sore thumb in an otherwise nice Reverso rep.

Any possibility to thin the crown ?

Wrist size? Crown would be able to be shortened but since yours is gold it would need plating to cover up the shaved part.

Certainly looks very nice! How does the overall quality of the watch feel in person though?

Are we able to get a link to purchase? I've been after a good JLC for some time

I now TOW is able to source for you. Maybe other TD can do that too, just have to ask.
