Short answer

Most Reverso Tribute Monoface replicas use a case about 45.6 mm from lug tip to lug tip and 27.4 mm wide. The common strap width is 20 mm at the lugs, with an 18 mm buckle width on many straps. Replica batches differ. Measure your watch before you buy a strap.

Is the Reverso Tribute Monoface Replica Accurate to the Real Watch?

Prerequisites

  • Caliper or rigid ruler with millimeter marks
  • Soft cloth
  • Strap gauge or the old strap
  • Pen and paper

Measure the case

  1. Place the watch face down on the soft cloth.
  2. Measure the case width across the back at the widest point from left edge to right edge. Write the number in millimeters.
  3. Measure the overall length from the top edge of the upper lug to the bottom edge of the lower lug. Write the number.
  4. Measure case thickness at the center of the caseback if you need clearance under a cuff. Write the number.

Measure the strap width

  1. Turn the watch face down and find the spring bar between the lugs.
  2. Measure the gap between the inner faces of the lugs at the spring bar. This is the lug width.
  3. Repeat at the other pair of lugs. Use the larger number if the two ends differ.
  4. Measure the old strap at the buckle end to find buckle width. A 20 mm strap may taper to 18 mm at the buckle.

Check replica fit

  • Ask the seller for a caliper photo of the lug gap. Listing text can be wrong.
  • Confirm spring bar type. Some replicas use quick-release bars, some use standard bars.
  • Check strap thickness at the lugs. A thick strap can rub on a Reverso case.
  • Test a 20 mm strap before you buy a custom strap. If it binds, measure again.
  • Confirm return terms before you order. Fit issues are common with replica batches.
