This happened to me today after seeing the Zenith Defy series 1000m diver.
Previously for many years i thought the JLC Reverso was ugly as well until i tried it on

Sorry forgot to take pic.
In pics the watch didnt do much for me but when i saw the real thing today i was kinda surprised how much more i like it

What did it for me was the perlage on the dial which made it so 3D and stand out.
It was on a strap but the size of it was too too small compared to the watch.
Lucky the list was RM51k so there is no chance i will get it haha

Pic of watch borrowed frm google
