If you have a Submariner, then a Reverso Classic mediium small seconds is an ideal companion for it, no doubt.

I actually went into an AD with the intent of buying one. I tried one on, and I was a little disapointed by it. It just felt fragile and flimsy compared to my Submainer and Speedmaster (proabbly because it is). I know it's a classic and I know JLC is a top brand, but the watch just seemed more expensive to me than it should be.

Ironically, I actually ended buying an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. So I thought I was going to buy a dress watch (just like you apparently want to), but now I have 2 divers plus a Speedmaster, and no real dress watch.

I haven't totally ruled out a Reverso in the future, but now want a Datejust 41. I just think a DJ41 is better for me.

I hear what you're saying about a Reverso being more suited for a Tuxedo than a DJ, but honestly, I just don't wear a Tuxedo enough for that to be a real factor. I'll wear my Submariner or Speedmaster with a Tuxedo if I have to...
