Great review!

Not quite as good as the 1996 version, but certainly way cooler than the Gran Sport edition.
Your review has changed my opinion of this new Reverso, but has underlined some aspects I would have liked such as keeping the 1996 case dimensions (or at least, keeping the thickness to 9.5, certainly less than the current 14!), a comment regarding some of the blued screws which does clash with the blue chrono hands, perhaps having the chrono pushers placed to the right side of the chrono face (would have made more sense!), and also agree with some of the comments regarding the strap (but yes, this can easily be rectified so not even a limitation worth mentioning).
I agree the black chrono dial parts being more prominent in the rose gold version, though I still prefer the white of the steel (with, as you said, the case and movement amalgamating together quite nicely!).
Overall, I think it is a great release and a worthy addition to any collection, but as mentioned before, missing that something that the 1996 version had.
