Reversos on bracelets - opinions?
Dear Reverso devotees,
I keep thinking about picking up a Reverso. (At least until we see what JLC comes up with by way of new round-cased watches next week at W&W!)
Yes, I've heard the steel case gets scratched up just by looking at it. And while I'm a fan of the guillochéd dials (and the blue duo, yummy!), I also wonder whether the patterns are stamped or cut in the traditional manner - any intelligence appreciated.
But I thought I'd ask you your opinions on the question of the bracelet.
I live in a hot and humid climate, where leather straps are a Bad Idea. So I tend to prefer watches on metal bracelets or rubber straps. But I'm not particularly attracted by the Squadra, even if the bracelet has that very nice system for micro-adjustment (a round automatic movement in a Reverso case? Sacrilege!), so I'm wondering what your collected thoughts are on the merits or otherwise of traditional Reversos on bracelets.

P.S. I also gather that JLC is going to start putting more automatic movements in Reversos - is this so?

I would advice you to wait till the 30th of September.
There may well be something round coming which would please you.
Yes, only the Classic ( small size ) Reverso will come with manual movements ( and maybe in the high end range ).
Now as for the Bracelet, I don't like the design. But I've been told that it was comfortable.
Let's see what the owners think.
Best,

You are a such a tease...
Nico,
You know I'm already in suspense...ok, ok, I'll try to keep hanging on till that embargo gets lifted!
Can't wait...
As for the bracelet, owners...what do you think? (Am I correct in believing that the only Reverso bracelets currently available are the ones without the micro-adjustment?)

P.S. It is a real pity that manual Reversos are largely on the way out.

I don't know that... We'll wait to read what the owners have to say.
As for the tease, Wednesday is close...

I don't have a bracelet but...
...recently purchased a Hirsch strap which is rubber inside but the upper part is calf leather. I also live in a tropic country and it seems to be a good compromise on my new Reverso.

Thanks...
...it's been a long time but I have been following the forum since. Last week I got my "new" Reverso" so I thought it's time to come back
A classic reverso
And with a very nice strap! These big date reverso's are very nice, but getting more difficult to find....
