As an owner of this piece, I can confidently say it’s not too thick. The slab sides make it look thick on video, but in the metal it’s a great size. It honestly makes my Tank feel almost too thin. Most people who pick one up will agree.

As a Reverso owner (inherited from my Grandfather) I can assure you that their (JLC) design does not prevent smudging on the crystal while actuating it. As for this watch I think it's great. They did something different that evokes the sprite of a much more famous watch ( I also see a little Tank DNA in there) which is homaging doe right IMO. I did notice on the macro shots some sloppy painting on the bule hands. While I think it's unreasonable to ask a brand this small, charging this little, to actually bule the hands I would personally see regular polished hands instead of sloppily painted ones. Going back to the Reverso, what you are paying for is not the swapping around mechanism, it's the fact that a singular movement is driving everything on both sides of the watch (assuming we are talking about a Duoface) I think that is a really important part about the Reverso and is the real reason to be impressed by it, not the case swapping gimmick. Given that, this watch is just the gimmick and to me, while I do like it, not particularly impressive. However a very fair argument would be to say that all watches in the modern era are gimmicky given the ubiquity of digital, atomically accurate radio controlled clocks that we all carry around in our pockets now adays. Regardless it's always good to see something other than a diver and you did an excellent job in showcasing it.

Looks like they've done a great job with this. And the company being called "Vario" seems a perfectly appropriate reason to make it. When they update to a more sophisticated logo, and make tweaks for a version 2 (they must've definitely learned a lot putting this together) this will be amazing

I bought the gunmetal / blue one. I really like it, very cool and unique watch. My only gripe is that the strap is a little short... The website warns that it "may not be suitable for wrists over 7.5 inches". My wrists are right at 7.5", so I thought maybe I'd be fine, and it's okay, but It's all the way extended to the last hole. They offer a longer strap by request, but it's black, not the color coordinated blue. I'll eventually order something longer...

It's a nice looking watch but it's far too thick and clunky and actually looks like a prototype in my opinion. It's a tank watch that actually looks like a tank. OK , the reverso is expensive at around $9,000 but it's a work of art. I don't see any design genius in sticking two quartz watches together. Also I wonder how stable it will be after the metal wears away from switching the faces over.
