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 :P
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 ;D
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 ;D
Pic of watch borrowed frm google

Happened to me too before only the watch in question is the IWC Topgun Chrono.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

happend to me too..after tried on e IWC BP n found tat is really too big for me... the other way round for AP ROO Chrono... always think that ROO is too big for me due to the protruded lug and case but supprisingly it looks good on my wrist... :Cheers:
