900
The cut-out in the reset lever makes it act like a detent "spring" and allows some bending - think of it as a little shock absorber, when you press the pusher.
To be more precise, it acts as a shock absorber between the reset hammer (like in a chronograph), and a second lever which disengages the vertical clutch that drives the seconds hand. Probably acts as a buffer/safety for slight tolerance issues, so that the vertical clutch doesn't get damaged in the worst case...

Still in discovery mode…
Sorry, can’t help it but still finding nice angles of this RL L033.1 movement. Even beveling in the inside of this wheel I wonder why the cut out on the lever? Woohoo, an inward angle and quite a sharp pointed outward one Lots of different textures I don’...
Fantastic photos of a stellar watch. Such a marvelous micro landscape to explore!
The relief is probably for shock absorption, to reduce the shear on the pin. -John
That’s good to know and appreciate the knowledge sharing.
Thank you for your nice comments.
Yes, this is one of the sources that pushes me over the edge :))
Other than that, only info is here on this site from 2010 and the video review from Watchfinder. I searched and read all the reviews on this watch and it really shows how under appreciated it is and still is from last month's Sotheby's in HK...That succes...
When I watched the WF video, I realized how quick that zero-reset function moved.
It makes sense to dampen the shock at the end of stroke. Yes, I agree that ALS is mostly under the radar. However, their Odysseus has some Stainless Steel buzz. With all the SSSW frenzy, there are bargains to be had while the crowd is distracted. Congrats...
Very true now it’s time for me to hunt the under appreciated pieces…
While the hype is still going on. I noticed a shift towards earlier pieces by brands lately, especially Cartier CPCP and Roger Dubius Sympathie and Hommage ( before it becomes Lamborghini inspired). I’m trying to find earlier Langes and PP grand complicat...

Wow...that is really sophisticated and appreciate your detailed explanation.
This is why I like such pieces, stealth and only owner knows. Rgds Raymond
Yes this has to be one of them because it’s the only RL…
My selection is very careful and it makes every piece special in its place so eventually nothing leaves 😅
For me, it’s not possible to buy and then sell in such a short time as in months…
My watches usually accompany me for years. I’ve paid my lesson fees so that’s why I’m very selective nowadays 😅
The finishing of this 2010 watch and the latest ones I got is good indicator this brand still has it 👍🏻
Not to forget my Emil in 2000.
Thèse details are fantastic and well presented.
Thanks for these close-up pictures of this A. L
Totally in awe myself as well…this watch is already amazing from web photos…
And even better in real. You’re very welcome.
