Yes....
the blue "hometime" hand will stay put and the "local" main silver hand can go forwards AND backwards and the Grande Date moves smoothly in both directions. It's really a brilliant movement and this was the only grande date version of the Autotractor. The only thing it doesn't do is to allow for 1/2 hour variations (like India).

Just arrived. Reverso Grande Automatique
Greetings All - Just wanted to share my newly arrived JLC Reverso Grande Automatique. Love the dual zone feature, especially with my company's second office in India. the day/night indicator is tied to the second timezone hand, while the date is tied to t...
Congratulations!
A discontinued watch and case, as the XGT were replaced by the Grande Reverso. Now you have both of them. Bravo. Best, Nicolas
I learn something every day!
thanks for the info, Nicolas. i knew about the discontinuation of the model but not the case as well!l! great watch to wear. look forward to taking more pictures with both watches! eventually...looking for a Reverso Minute Repeater and Gyrotourbillon...lo...
hah that's the one!!
yea it is a relative bargain...i agree!! Also like the Reverso tourbillon that you posted EXCELLENT pictures of in the past. very classic and refined. wouldn't mind having TWO Reverso tourbillons; one with an 'exposed' tourbillon (a la GYROtourbillon) and...

thank you!!
would at least like to see the bracelet mounted on the watch but its very expensive for just a bracelet. maybe ill try on a different Reverso with that bracelet and use my imagination.!!
thanks
great watch to wear...chunk(ier) size takes some getting used to but well worth it!
Congrats! Lovely Reverso!
It looks great on your wrist. May your new Reverso always time happy moments for you Thanks for sharing your joy with us :) Cheers Robin
I LOVE this piece...
it's movement is the "Autotractor," which is the most robust movement JLC has made so far. It's also, besides the Ludwig Perpetual, one of the only grande date models that can go forwards OR backwards. I was really hoping for JLC to continue "Grande Date"...
wow.....
thanks for all that info Dean....i really had no idea about the autotractor movement. so to clarify your point, the date can go backwards without damaging the movement? I am thinking of the situation when I travel BACK from India and would move the 'blue'...
