Have taken 2 days to go through this thread, like watches not into a specific brand but how it looks and says a statement, these so far are my favorites.

The same kind I sport when doing anything else. One of two Victorinox Ambassadors.
I don't sail, scuba dive, fly planes, or race cars, and in the age of the smartphone, I don't need anything ultra-accurate. What I want from a watch is the time and date at the briefest of glances. Anything that gets in the way of that, I don't want. That eliminates chronographs, moon phases, GMT, see-through or highly decorative dials, etc.; they make the watch busier and harder to read at a glance. I also want the fewest buttons/crowns possible. I want a plain face, Arabic numerals, a date, a leather or rubber band, and a sapphire crystal. Maybe one of these days I'll get an ultra-thin, premium watch that fits that description (recommendations welcome), but I've really got no complaints about the watches I have now. |

thanks. although I have many watches that PAM 93 is likely my favorite. one of my earliest purchases at the time, I'd never heard of Panerai. bought preowned at my regular jeweler. loved the blue dial, the power reserve and the crown guard. turned out to be a great purchase; may even be worth more than I paid.

Grand Seiko Spring Drive limited edition (700 pieces worldwide), one of my "favorite" features titanium case and bracelet, so lightweight shiny blue dial

Im sure the mechanical aspects of your watch are incredible. But i feel like if im gonna spend thousands on a seiko then i dont want it to look like the $60 seikos they sell

they arent necessarily known for their movements, and they dont have fancy models with tourbillions or skeleton casings. they just have a nice, sophisticated look to them.

Until maybe 10 years ago Panerai was never that popular because they were charging $5000+ for watches with standard or slightly modified ETA movements. It was until 2005 when they really pushed for inhouse movements
