Good old Reverso Grande Reserve. Photos and a question.

Greetings everyone!

Just got my JLC Reverso Grande Reserve back from my watchmaker after a regular servicing.

I noticed that the period of power reserve indicator jump is slower than what I remember it used to be.

The whole process for the '8' to change to '7' takes about 15 minutes from the moment when you start noticing

that the disc started moving. The disk sort of "hangs" for 5-8 minutes before the "jump".

Can those of us who have this beauty let me know how long it takes in your case?

Thanks!

Here are some photos of my Reverso

Hi. You are talking of your 301.84.20 Yes I possess the same but 301.24.20. The movement being the same. The disc will take 5 - 7 min when the wind is at a higher day, ie 6,7,8, UP. As long as the disc moves and is not stuck it is fine. These models somet...

It looks even better in gold Thank you for your feedback. I will keep checking but yesterday the disk started moving and then stood for 5 or 8 minutes before the jump. The change mechanism clearly works but a bit slow, as it seems to me. ...

Very nice photos, aUkrainian! I love your avatar a lot, too. ;) [nt]

Don't worry

This mechanism is not like the instantaneous date change that we are looking at. Don't compare it to that. This is a power reserve attached to the main spring, even during wind up the days, 6,7,8 & UP, take longer to wind so it works both ways. Friend...

Thank you, salarjung

I am now completely at peace about it :) The accuracy of the watch is superb, as one can expect from JLC. By the way, does anybody know what is the accuracy standards for 1000 Hours Test when it comes to an 8 days caliber? Thanks to everyone, Ivan
