I totally understand your comment! I started looking at Reverso and somehow ended up with an original sized one. That was a total no go and sent it back instantly. Way too small and very feminine. I gave it a pass for a few years thinking that they were nice on photos but not for me.
Somehow, I ended up seeing a Reverso Grande Reserve, jumped on it as I always though the complication was interested. I love it. Had it for years and don't think I'll let it go. Size is quite big but that makes me enjoy it even more. It gives a presence on the wrist.
Today, Reverso comes in so many sizes and even shapes (squadra is gone but even the rectangle ones differ a lot from one to another), that it is worth trying and finding what would work for you. The Ultra Thin for example are/feel really big because they are thin (they feel bigger than mine for example).
I think you should just keep trying until you find what matches your wrist.
Best,
É.

I had to wear this one a couple of nights ago..

It did cross my mind to wear the Seamaster but it was an event in the evening that required wearing a jacket of some sort. In retrospect, I probably should have and on that NATO nonetheless for that cliched Bond feel :p Anyway, that kind of broke the Omeg...  

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

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... 

I hear you ...

I had the same thought about the Tribute Duo I just bought, though the word that came to mind was “unisex.” I think there are two reasons for the reaction. First, the midsized Reversos like mine (whose dimensions mimic those of the Grande Taille, which ir... 

Well put

I hear you and I fully understand and agree. You mentioned Cartier and my daughter happens to have the gold Cartier Tank as well. You mentioned occasionally you wear one of your wife’s watches. Funny enough I do same. My wife has a Cartier Roadster midsiz... 

Daughters

My daughter is now 32, and I can guarantee you three things: 1) starting from birth every year they will be more expensive, 2) it doesn’t stop when they are adults or finished college or have a job or are married, you just keep spending; I mean instead of... 

In agreement! The spending does not stop..

And it doesn't feel like a burden to be honest. Not yet anyway hahaha! Many fathers probably want a boy for their first. I wanted a girl. And fortunately got one. My only child. A real piece unique

Get out!!!
