The "watch everyone likes but you" thread is going well; I wonder if there's a watch we all agree looks great. Clearly, it's not a Panerai, a Hublot, a B&R, a DSSD, a Speedmaster. It won't be a Frank Mullered (because I think they look awful).

Sinn?
IWC something?
Omega Seamaster Pro (sword hands version)?

Submariner/Seadweller or GMT?

It's hard to find them offensive in anyway, even though there may be a first preference or something else.

How about an IWC Portugese with a White face and blue handles/numbers?

Most Rolexes have already been ruled out.

I'm ambivalent. The numbers don't look right, though.

I had one for a time & was underwhelmed.

Glashutte Original Sport Evo anyone?

Stowa MO seems to usually get a positive response on here - looks, cost/value, pedigree.

Omega Seamaster Pro surely?

Rolexes, no. Breitlings, no.

Patek Phillipe? Got to be in with a shout. Not sure which one though, I don't like the Nautilius.

Any vintage Heuers, most seem to approve of these, my personal favourites are the Abercrombie & Fitch editions, lovely!

Bit too small for my taste...


I haven't seen any negative comments about the SMP. BUT, blue or black?

I'd say Rolexes are only disliked because of the connotations as opposed to the watches themselves. If you can like a copy, homage, fake of a submariner but not like the actual thing then your lying to yourself.

Most would agree that a standard Calatrava is pretty hard to beat

I wonder if this thread should be categorised.

Such as a Dive watch we all like, dress watch etc...
