Anyway, that kind of broke the Omega spell and the following day, I decided to wear my old Duo for the day switching out the standard black strap for this one on ostrich.

I'll probably have this on for a couple more days. I need to buy a couple of straps for this one to dress it down so I can wear it more often.

Reversos are a beautiful thing, in whatever case size or shape. If I had to choose just one watch to go with a suit, a Reverso would be my default choice. I saw a Rouge TT31 floating around online and did not pull the trigger reasoning out that I have no such need for a piece and that I have other wants that need prioritization. But if I see it again available and accessible, I will take it as a sign smile

You are right about the Reverso. A Classic Class Watch. Extremely elegant and timeless. As for the Red, another watch we have in common in our wish list... ;) [nt]

Hope to have that same patina in yours over time..

This one's still a bit on the yellow/orangey side.. I want it to turn into a darker tone. Can take awhile I suppose

Mines still the original strap

Mine came on the ostrich strap - so yes it's had plenty of time develop its own patina. Not sure you'll need to wait as long - just needs wearing Cheers

That's the challenging part, to wear it more often. I've had this strap for about 5 years or so :-) (nt)

Risk

At the risk of being banned from this forum forever for reason of blasphemy, I must admit I’ve not been a big fan of the Reverso. Somehow I find them a bit feminine, but that’s maybe because the very first time I saw it life, was when we bought one for my daughters birthday (reverso day night with diamonds on the black night dial) Every time I see a picture like the one you just posted, I think: “that’s not feminine that’s a really really great looking watch” But when I’m in the boutique and try
