Thread: What types of watches do you like?

It's been a while since I added to this thread,

Acquired a few more watches since then. I had a 1972 Rolex GMT master that I wore for years. I gave it to my son a few years ago. I sort of missed it, so bought another Rolex. Devil of a job to actually get a Rolex Authorised Dealer to sell you one (Sub or GMT Master).

Nice additions.
Love the colour of that Rolex!
Nice choice..
How does that Panerai wear? That crown cover, which seems to be their signature, always made me wonder how it feels on wrist.
Classy longines as well.

Thank you,
The Panerai, despite being an actual monstrous size and having the crown guard, actually feels comfortable. the thing is, it is a bit difficult to get it under a shirt sleeve, so it is a little too noticeable at times.

I have to watch sizes and weights with my 6.75 inch wrist. 44mm is pretty much my limit. Right now I'm wearing my Sinn U-2 which is 44mm and is incredibly heavy. It feels like a lead weight on my wrist.

I envy guys with big wrists who can pull off 46mm watches.

My personal take on Panerai Luminor's is, it's not the size that bothers me, but the thickness.
I have a small wrist, but a 44mm is still doable due to the curved lugs.
For instance, it bends better around the wrist than the modern Submariners.

Personally I have a thing for the Due's, although they're reviled in Panerai fan circles.

Finally I only kept one, a Pam00620. It's a Radiomir without the thin wire lugs, "only" 42mm, and, apart from the Due's, about as thin as they get.

I like watches kind of on the large size, my wrist it not big at 7 1/2” but I still like the larger ones in the 40+ MM but don’t like those large Invicta ones as they look cheap being that large with all there embellishments

Here is my tiny collection

Wow - great collection, love the Hulk, a very hard to get watch, stainless steel is the new precious metal! hahaha

Love the Pam, awesome watches in every regards, and the U N, beautiful timepiece.

I just sold a Longines Chronograph, another great piece. Sheesh, I thought there were never enough razors I could buy, same
with watches.

SRP member Donut (and what a collection he had - wow!!) was correct when he called RAD, buying straight razors, "the gateway" drug to watches.....

Great collection.

Some watches that have passed through my hands over the years:

I have a Tag Heuer for dress (probably burial), but I’m in love with the Citizen Eco-Drives. I like them big and have a few...my every day favorite:

When Citizen came out with their humongous pro diver several years ago did you pick one of those up?
