1994 Reverso Répétition Minutes vs ...
Not sure if this is the right place to pose this question... Recently, I came across a 1994 Reverso Répétition Minutes with box/paper in good condition. I am fascinated and excited as a big JLC fan who at this point doesn't own any Reverso. I stupidly tra...
I am assuming
that you have listened to the Reverso minute repeater because it is not very loud! But if you are fine with it, that is all that matters.
Thanks for the reminder.
I am aware of the loudness or lack of of this particular MR. Nevertheless, I should make a trip to the dealer if I decide to purchase it.
Probably better wait until you are ready for one.
Even tho not many were produced, 500 to be exact. There always seem to have one or two available on the market at any given time. So unless you are offered a really good deal or the ltd edition number has a special meaning to you, I don’t see why you need...
Here's a perspective...
There are many minute repeaters out there. However, there is only one kind of PanoRetroGraph - itself. It chimes too! I'm biased for sure, but I feel the PRG is much more mechanically interesting than a minute repeater for its sheer uniqueness... Regards,...
This Reverso has not the best chime but a great appealing (your GO too).
You wrote that your brain (logic) tells you to wait while your heart (emotion) tells you to take the plunge. Life and our passion are made for emotions in my opinion. If the deal is fair, I would tell you to go for the Reverso. We only have one life and a...
Reverso Repetition Minutes is a rare bird
Produced in a limited edition of 500, the Reverso Repetition Minutes is a timeless classic piece with a form movement. The chimes are not loud but beautiful tone and correctly spaced.
I would keep the Panoretrograph, for what it is, a quite unique chronograph. And I would wait to get a Reverso Minute Repeater. But I would really consider getting one.
The Pros: - An excellent size, superbly executed watch. - A Rectangular minute repeater, which is almost unique in the watch universe. - The exploit of casing a minute repeater in such a small case. The Cons: Only one... The sound which is not very low. A...
My wife gave me an ultimatum.
I could get one more watch before another one in 10 years.... I think this minute repeater may be worthy enough!
actually, the reason she gave in
was I gave her a listen by finding a clip on YouTube. She was fascinated by it. She used to despise rectangular watches, but this one got her attention. Haha
I’m going to find a time this afternoon.
To go to the dealer and examine the piece.
I will give it some more thought...
It is not a cheap watch. I love JLC and only "like" the reverso design. I'd love to own a minute repeater, but if it's not the "right" or "perfect" one, I should wait. I will be honest. Looking at it in person was a bit underwhelming. I didn't feel the ur...
