What is one thing that has "grown on you"
By: Thomas_3 : March 29th, 2024-19:32
since you started watch collecting. One thing for me is printed numerals, I uses to consider only watches with applied indices. I will now look at printed numerals and own a couple. One thing that will never grow on me what I call "lugless watches". I do ...
So many things.

But for today I'm going with: bracelets! I used to be straps only. Then little by little I started appreciating bracelets, first the feel and sense of security, so I got a very low key sport watch or two. Now I wear bracelet watches almost half the time! ...

Didn't like it before, but now I think it has a nice low-tech old-world charm!
Great questıon…

1. Matt dials. Only rare exceptions are allowed in without a matt dial 2. 3-dimensional cases including the bezel and the crystal. Anything non 3 dimensional / flat gets killed or not accepted in 3. Big / substantial crowns. Completely allergic to small c...
Patek Philippe Nautilus...
By: patrick_y : March 29th, 2024-20:09
When I was still a kid, in my teens - I thought that a Rolex Submariner would be a great watch. It was robust, reliable, all the right attributes one would want in a watch. But a family member suggested I look at the Patek Philippe Nautilus - and I found ...
LOL!!!

Good one! So good!
I was going to say my stomach, but realized this is about watches.

I'd say the right deployant. Most deployants I find uncomfortable and always rejected them in favor of a tang buckle. It's still the case for a majority of the deployants, but I have found one or two that are ok. Also, colored gold watches are slowly grow...
Here’s one, Thomas_3…

Clous de Paris bezels and cases. Perhaps easier to pull off as an older collector? ...
Whoa, that’s subtle!🤣

…but there’s still something drawing me to it.👍🏽
Ha!

It grows on you, ArmisT.
Simplicity
By: TeutonicCarFan : March 29th, 2024-22:26
Although my 'nicest' watched are complications, I'm drawn to simpler time only as time goes by!
I have a handful of lugless watches…
By: KMII : March 29th, 2024-22:28
And with the exception of the VC1972 all allow for relatively easy strap changes 😊 What has definitely grown on me with time is simplicity, thinness and smaller case diameters 👍🏻
Small seconds
By: Weems@8 : March 29th, 2024-22:59
Ignored small seconds for years, because three hands on each other was for a reason logical and the way a clock always looked. When i stepped out of my habit to ignore small seconds and bought a watch with a small seconds dial, i could not imagine i got s...
There are lug-less watches that are not integrated bracelets.
By: Jay (Eire) : March 30th, 2024-01:59
I own a few examples, Seiko Tuna, Urwerk 105. But I know what you mean, even with a bracelet sometimes it’s nice to be able to switch it up to a strap and have a “new” watch. What’s grown on me? Dressier watches, on straps. And more recently rose gold (or...
Rolex 🫣
By: Watchonthewrists : March 30th, 2024-07:26
I was never a huge fan of the brand . I am more a independent collector but since a while i find more appreciation for the bigger watch brand(s)of the world .
Same
By: TeutonicCarFan : March 30th, 2024-13:58
Don't think I got a rolex until I had 6 or 7 others first
Colored gold
By: donizetti : March 30th, 2024-07:42
Great question. For many years I only wanted white metal watches but recently I have come around on some watches looking great in colored gold. Best Andreas
Rubber straps.
By: fmc000 : March 30th, 2024-08:07
I used to be a bracelet-only guy but in recent years I started appreciating good rubber straps, especially those FKM items that are so ubiquitous these days. On the other hand, I never liked leather straps and I still don't like them now.

Absolutely.

I cry myself to sleep every night (almost true) I want a Cartier tank watch so bad.
