is there something like the watch EVERYBODY likes ?
Does it exist, a watch which ticks all the boxes for everybody ?
I love a Patek 5070 but I realize others don't like it because of the size, or too small movement, ...
Probably everybody will like the Datograpgh movement, but I honestly don't like the dial and totally dislike the sunken subdials
Any idea about a watch everybody likes ( or let's say 98% of us really like)
How about a speedmaster ? Submariner ? .... ?

Interesting question!
I think Speedmaster and Submariner and two strong examples. GMT Master could be up there as well. For the vast majority of 'normal' people a modern Rolex could very well be a very nice 'one and only' watch. Pieces like the Submariner, GMT, Datejust are lu...
I guess you mean it like in terms of it's looks and possibly horological appeal...
... and not necessarily in terms of keeping monetary value or the ability to work as a status symbol. It's a very interesting question, the most likely candidate I think of would be the AP Royal Oak Jumbo... I look forward to supposedly many interesting s...

Americas or Europa-Asia version. Rare, but Universal IMHO Interesting post. Best, Patrickh ...
May be but I'm not sure either 😉
No watch can be loved by 100% of PuristS. Best wishes Alkiro
due to the fact only 150 pieces were produced in Pt.
But if known, and discovered in real, masses could be falling in Love and change this post results ...... Who knows.
I would think the Sub might fit the bill.
I'll be heretical and say I don't care for the Speedy, in any iteration. But the AP Jumbo...yes! Thinking about getting 98% of people to agree on anything is probably futile though.
Wow you don't care for the Speedy?
I'm interested. Do you actually dislike it or just wouldn't wear it? Would you agree that it is a good looking watch that is well designed and functional?
I find it blah.
Don't know what else to say. And winding it is a chore, at least in my experience. So to answer you, I don't dislike it; I just don't find it interesting.
I completely understand
However, I think for me it's how often I see it that kills it for me, The watch is great, the history is great. It passed all those tests and it's still being used! But whenever I walk down the street in the Sydney's central business district I see one :/...
I'm sure 50 out of 50 like the P15 Zenith, or maybe 50 ppl like it....so that makes it 100%. [nt]
Other than this, I agree with Willski, the Speedmaster, Rolex Subs and Daytonas.
The Daytona makes me cringe. All of them
Not sure why, I think I've just seen it too much. At least the Speedmaster still does EVA. It's a piece of gear, you can't argue with that.
Here are my candidates! :-)
You did say a watch that everybody likes rather than a watch that everybody loves so I have played it safe with the new 1815 chronograph which has swept me off my feet even though I am not normally fond of black dial watches. And if this is too adventurou...
Probably a Rolex Submariner or a (old style) Omega Constellation /
Patek Calatrava like watch. Cartier is also a watch brand that a lot of people know. A lot.
Speedmaster Pro
It just works, it's worn by 'steely eyed missile men' and it's virtually unchanged. We might not all wear one (I for one don't want to spend a significant amount of hard earned cash on something I see everywhere) but I don't think anyone ever looks at a S...
Depends if you mean WIS or everybody
Hi I think if you just talk about the former - then probably not as we all have views about what we wear. If it's generally everyone, then while it may not be high end horology, then I'd suggest a Seiko Five might be a good bet. If you include the whole r...
I've never heard anyone objectively disregard Omega's Speedmaster . . .
. . . and that covers an awful lot of conversations over the last two decades, on line and in person. Art
Some models are often seen on wrist of almost everybody, especially Submariners, Seadwellers and Datejust, also commonly seen the Seamaster 300chronometer and the Speedy Pro
as well as Panerais. Even if less seen but still very common the Breitling Navitimer. I think it is due to the fact of the reputation of the models and what they represent in the watchmaking world than something thanks to the internet and watch craze, th...
Gronefeld Remontoire ??
Did not hear any complain about this piece of Dutch pride yet
