Reverso with Roman Numerals??
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum as I am interested in buying a vintage Reverso. I have found one that I love but it has no papers and I am a little skeptical as to its authenticity.
It is an 18ct Gold Quartz Reverso with what I am told is a custom face. One of the strangest features is the Roman Numerals instead of the more common numbers/hour lines found on most Reverso pieces.
Is this possible or does it scream fake immediately?
Look forward to hearing from some of you experts out there.
Many thanks
Matt

JLC DID use Roman Numerals....
on a couple of versions of the Reverso in the 80s, but THIS IS A FAKE. Note: 2 godrons, not 3; the way "Swiss Made" is signed at the bottom. -Dean
Wait a minute, Dean...
I will not speculate if this is a fake or not... BUT, JLC did use 2 godrons and not 3 in some of the 80's Reverso! Please see attached scan from 1983 catalogue. Alos not sure if this only applied to Quartz Reverso or not... The 80's are a big blur for me....
+ 1 on the big blur. What I don't like on the OP model is the way Swiss made
Is written... Not what we used to see with JLC products, even of this era. Can't help more, here, as this is not my favourite field, I mean, the 80ies, when it comes to watches. Best, Nicolas
Double-Gadroons is legitimate
In the 80's a new generation of Reversos were designed:
I stand corrected....
and I just checked, "Reverso, the Living Legend," and on page 110 is the same model with the same weird "Swiss Made" font, but in all-gold. It's legit. -Dean
Photo of page 110
Hi Dean , could I trouble you if I can have a photo of the page 110 which shows the same model
