manual for me too, but
Feb 08, 2017,04:28 AM
I seriously doubt that novice buyers would even care about the movement at all. They will be attracted to the brand/story/model, rather than the heritage and proper movement. Only when one gets more involved you start to care about details that matter beyond the estatics and functionality.

My choice is for manual because it allows a double dial in a nice thin case. I'm sure many a purist would insist a Reverso has a solid caseback and not another dial or display back
manual, of course!

Not only just because, but also for the thinner case it allows, which is the "natural" look & feel of the reverso. After trying (last summer) a medium one on my lady's wrist, we both much much prefer the previous offering, which we eventually managed ...

....in my strongly opinionated view, there was NO excuse for a High Horological Maison, not to install into, or to develop a Form Movement for a Form Case Watch. Eventually, I think the message came through, the proof is on the pudding! Kind regards Franc...
Manual, of course

That\'s my view because I like the idea of leaving a classic alone...my wife thinks it shouldn\'t matter as those in her mind would not want to remember to wind a watch each morning, especially so when there is no seconds hand to tell you that it is runni...
As a "Purist"...

I prefer the manual for several reasons: (1) it's the original design (at a time when no one had a rotor-winding auto); (2) it allows for thinner complications - both single and double-sided; (3) manual-winds have the fewest problems of all watches I know...
Well DUH...

Hahaha! Of course it has to be manual! And with a rectangular movement. Thanks to JLC for bringing out the Classic this year again with the 822 (I think, would have to check). What I\'d really like is a Classic with 822, sapphire back (yes, not much help ...
Please!

And some detailed photos of the reissued manual Reverso would be great too. Have they upgraded the bracelet that is on offer, to include the quick-change system and micro-adjustment in the new Geophysic line? Here\'s what I want: -A classic hand-wound Rev...
Fantastic!

Please share that photo And yes, the bracelet as you describe...although as I remember it that one was quite \'robust\' in appearance to go with the sportier nature of the watch; it could use some toning-down. Best E.
Too true
By: Esharp : February 3rd, 2017-22:33
So many pitfalls - the links themselves; the clasp; and most of all, the attachment to the watch... I don\'t need bracelets. I\'d be just as happy with a selection of easily-changed and easily-adjusted leather and rubber straps! But for the manufacturers ...
Yes, exactly...
By: Esharp : February 4th, 2017-00:12
Adjustable and easily changed! Best E.
Manual FTW!!!

But sadly, due to the crisis in watchmaking world.... I think JLC is targeting even more people who doesn't even familiar with horology, and most of them think that mechanical watches are those that "works" whenever they put it on... And most of the times...
