Here we are talking of the Reverso Chronographe Retrograde from the 90's, not the current one. 

A piece you know quite well, as it has a lot of fans among us. 

Till here, nothing special...

Here comes the bonus...  A prototype, with its mention  Bale 96 / xx ( In fact, there were 20 protos made ).

Very cool piece, thanks for sharing!

A pity that Reversos don't really sing to me on the wrist, because I would really like to have one.

I totally understand that. Same for some other watches for me, such as the Heuer Monaco. I love to see them on others' wrist, but on mine, it is a total failure.

Yep, that's exactly my feeling!

And buying a watch to not wear it doesn't make sense to me, although sometimes I even consider it 😅

I always like Heuer Monaco but somehow everytime I try, it looks ogre ugly on my wrist 😅
