I was really just nit-picking and thinking of ways it could be "better", but I agree that for the pricepoint and purpose, the finishing is adequate.
In terms of the consistent +4 seconds, i'm not very concerned since if it was driving me crazy (it's not) i could get it adjusted, i'd be much more concerned if it were erratic.
I was more keen on the squadra since I figured the reverso was originally a sports watch, but has since become a dress watch whereas the squadra is now the sports watch with the autotractor movement and larger size (this is probably as large as I feel comfortable going though).
Thanks for the encouragement

It is always interesting to read owners opinion on a watch which is their trustful companion. A comment or two, if you allow me: 4 secs per day is excellent and much better than the COSC requirements. ( - 4 + 6 per day, if I remember correctly ). About th...

Very nice review

Thanks for the review. I thought it was very thoughtful and accurate. I would have to say that the only complaint with mine (minor) is that the luminous hands are not very bright and unreadable in even the blackest of nights.
Good point

I didn't even know the hands were lumed until I shined a flashlight at it and saw the faint glow, it's effectively not lumed.
One small correction...

I believe the summer/winter - day/night adjustment is 4mm x 2 (4mm on each side). I've always liked this watch, especially since the Autotractor is such a robust movement. In truth, I think I prefer the Grande Automatique, due to having a large date and a...
Great read!
