Care to fill me in on the Grande Date Reverso?
I've loved the Grande Date Reverso since it came out, but aside from the aesthetics, never learned much about what makes it "tick". Can the JLC fans here fill me in on the lovely 875 movement, and another features about this watch that makes it more endearing? Also, does JLC stamp or guilloche the dials on a rose engine? Lastly, I know JLC makes these movements in-house, but what about the cases, bracelets and other bits for this model?
Thanks, I welcome your wealth of information!

Comments on the Reverso Grand Date ...
Hi Doug, I have been very happy with my Grand Date, having owned it for 6 years. Still extremely reliable and there is something very pleasurable about winding it once a week and watching the RdM 'count' the days of the week down. Some find the case rathe...
