Amazing how often this comes up!
New game! How many threads Can you LEGITIMATELY raise this story in?
I have been a member only since the summer and have never heard of it since that time.... possible to link to an original thread? I gotta read that
He is referring to threads that refer in one manner or another to Dennis' infamous purchase of a quartz JLC Reverso by accident. Generally this is done with a humorous, sarcastic, barb meant to provoke Dennis. Merely placing the Word battery and Dennis is the same sentence is usually sufficient. Of course this is done with great affection 😁
It all started here, the rest is legend.

NOT ONCE have i seen a handset set counter-clock wise when rotating the crown bottom to top (or, 6 to 12 if you will)...not once...i have since checked every watch i currently possess at home (around 20), not one sets that way...before i texted Matt, i asked 4 other collectors and friends, one being an industry person, who handles tons of watches on a daily basis, and they all confirmed that they too had never seen this.
Many of the watches I've seen you sell and show on instagram (e.g. JLC memovox Caliber 815, UG polerouter cal 69) are set in counter-clockwise motion, so I really can't understand why you wouldn't have noticed that.

I surveyed the watches here at my desk.
Counter clockwise: 6
Clockwise: 3
Notable counters: ETA 2824, JLC 889/2, Reverso 854, Gyromatic
Clockwisers: 321 (OK, I didn't test since I'm wearing it, but going with the OP's report, not memory), 3135
However, I must caution others, do not try this at home! Dennis has friends in very low places. 😒
@ulackfocus
The dial issue was weirdly brushed aside by the OP, even though I suspected to be at his disadvantage and asked for the pictures. Turns out it's quite an interesting issue that is still to be resolved. It could very well tell the truth and solve the 3rd issue below.
Who????
Us?????
Isn't it a gaggle of pedants?
Given that the dial issue was resolved early on between the parties, its understandable they'd be reluctant to reignite the whole discussion by inviting a bunch of pedants on the internet to pick the whole thing apart all over again...and again. I didn't see a post where either of them asked for an answer to the dial question, or invite detailed opinions on it.
Exactly. But I'd bet it is where all the problems and the truth actually began.
Perhaps, but neither Perry Mason nor Columbo are members here 😉
