Like I said that all depends on your ability to use it and how fast you can apply it. The bad thing about a wrist lock is that if the other person realizes what you are doing it is often easy for them to pull out of it. Therefore you have to be pretty quick with the movement of locking it on.
One of the tricks I like to do when rolling is if someone goes for my upper lapel when I am stuck in their guard I grab the wrist on the backside (people normally think you are just going to try and pull them loose). Then I pull the arm inward placing the other hand against the knuckles and then shooting back into a reverse wrist lock. If you apply it fast enough and jam the elbow to the ground it is quick and hard to get out of and most people will tap immediately.
