Thanks as always Alfred! I was as surprised as anyone to see it was so versatile. I think so far there is one particular scenario where I don’t like it, and that is with a hoodie. Somehow a hoodie and a Reverso doesn’t work in my mind 🤷♂️😄 Totally subjective of course. Other than that, it is all good and way more versatile than I initially thought.

Beautiful!!!!! Congrats! Another watch I’m in pursuit of. A Speedy (I own one) then the Explorer 39mm (I will buy one by the end of this year). It’s difficult to find here in Chicago knowing my AD is going through some legal issues in court in regards to illegal sales practices. Now this Reverso!!!! Not bad for the price. I’m looking for the Duo Face large in steel. I am so torn between getting the Reverso or Explorer since they are close in price. Regardless I AM getting both at once or in due time God willing. Thank you for the review. Once again, you sold me on getting one. My goal is to add the Explorer & Reverso w/my Speedmaster, for a perfect 3 piece all purpose collection. Cheers

Hey Tony, I have checked on mine following your reply and I can't seem to get it to behave in that way very consistently.

On the Speedmaster the 'gesture' to make this happen is very similar, yet there I get much more consistent results. Perhaps it is just me

@@degriff Hi, sorry to bother you again! Your video actually convinced me to buy this watch for my wedding, and I really want to know more about this watch from other kind owners;) I heard that actually this watch can be hacked with the traditional method of backhacking. That is to put a very slight pressure on the crown while setting time backwards(turning the crown very slightly ccw while adjusting the minute hand). But the watch can be hacked only when the power reserve is relatively low / not fully wounded. When the watch is fully wound, the backhacking seldom works. If it does not bother you, can you help me check whether this is true? Thanks a lot.
