I think it really does come down to personal taste. I can't argue with anything you have said about the Reverso...it's a lovely watch. I just think the Rolex would look better on my wife's wrist and she would always choose the less feminine looking and more practical watch if given a choice.
You have nailed it...this is exactly my thought, rolex would look better on her wrist...and it's £600 cheaper, rather a considerable amount to spend on some bike parts!
I bought my missus a Rolex DJ - the one I would've got compared to what she ended up with after a couple of hours in WoS was relatively different. It's also a fun experience going in and buying something lovely like a new watch, seems like a shame to not let her take part

For me, it's the Rolex every time.
