There are a few watches I've tried on many times but never come around to actually buying (yet). Please share some watches you kept coming back to, from any brand, either to eventually buy... or not (yet).

I guess I should say I don't mind the date window as I actually like having it (it's actually that I don't mind if it's not there).
Movement pic courtesy of SJX, the hand finishing is nice.

I know what you mean!

And fine enamel dials go all the way back to A.L.Breguet, who made a number exquisite enamel dialed pocket watches for Turkish clients. It doesn't help the decision making, but still interesting!
