You know what else you've been lied to about?
The Reverso was never meant for British officers playing fucking polo in India. It was a watch for rich European socialites from the beginning. The whole point of flipping the case back was for having your initials engraved.

Problem with watch Youtubers is they're all nerds. They either talk about muh heritage (which - I'll admit - can be interesting sometimes) or muh specs. Most of them try to talk about both.
There isn't a single watch Youtuber with valuable insight about what matters the most: aesthetics, proportions and styling.
There's a reason for this: 99% of watchfags are dorks with exactly zero (0) sense of style who will sperg out when they're reminded watches are and always have been FASHION ACCESSORIES.
