Icon5 Reverso Classic Monoface worth the price?

Hi all,

Seeking advice on the large JLC Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds (3858520).

I want to add a dressier watch on leather to my small collection (Rolex Datejust, GS White Birch, some beaters). While I would love to add a Glasshütte Original for diversity (German/Swiss/Japanese, see?) and its awesome finishing, none of their current lineup feels right.

The Reverso is cool but the price seems very steep for a steel watch with such a simple movement. Also I wonder about the finishing - it doesn't seem to be comparable to GO, but I'm only able to view it at the AD with plastics on, which makes it difficult to assess. What do you think - is it good value at current prices (assuming 10 % discount or so), or would I be paying just for the brand? Pre-owned is not an option this time.

Just for reference, in my opinion most Rolex models at retail price are decent value and Grand Seikos very good to decent. GO is something different, especially the finishing compared to other sub 10k offerings, but the sizes are mostly too large for me.
