Relatively new to watches, but I’ve really become addicted to the culture. Almost every aspect of it intrigues me. The current SOTC is only 2 Tags, an Omega AT, and a Seiko. But I’m very curious if my own preferences are unusual, since there are a number of things I really don’t like in a watch. Based on what I’m seeing online (here and other online forums), my preferences seem to be pretty plain, which is fine. Just curious if there are others like me out there. Note, I’m not bashing anything here. Just not my particular taste. Here is my list:
· No bezels
· No gold
· No NATO bands
· No chronograph
· No complications (I can live with a date)
· No numerals for hour markers(neither Arabic nor Roman)
· No skeletons
· No bright colors
· No digital
· No quartz
· No Tanks
I’m not lacking for watches to pine over, but there are definitely a large number of what seem to be very popular watch types that really don’t appeal to me, again which is fine. Thanks
Knowing what you like is a great place to be, just look at some of the posts on watch threads and one wonders what on earth people are thinking asking, this or that, what 'should' I add next and so on. Simple elegance is a great way to go. Hope you enjoy finding the time pieces you really enjoy in good health for many decades to come.
