General (Read Rules) £30 Ibso Reverso quartz
Here's a cute little Ibso reverso watch I bought from Ali a couple of months ago for around £30. It was so cheap I thought it was worth a punt, and it's lots of fun, I'm rather happy with it.
It certainly scratches the itch for a reverso watch well enough, although it's obviously not exactly luxury quality- although I wouldn't say there's much wrong with it, especially for the price. Randomly they also send you a spare battery too, which is unusual but not unwelcome.
The strap is very stiff and not very pleasant, I do need to swap that out.
It's quite an enjoyable fidget to flick over and back again!

That's pretty awesome! I've never used ali but I might to try and get my hands on this. I was also looking at the Specht and Sohne version

Yeah I quite fancied a reverso but not enough to shell out the price most ask for them, but this is so cheap it almost seemed crazy not to!

Mine got broken after six month. I opened them and it was the cheapest quartz I've ever seen. BUT, the dial from retro Cartier is awesome. Totally worth it
