Title: What complication is most usefull to you?
Post by: takashi78 on October 20, 2010, 08:45:15 AM: Besides the date function. What other complication do you like on your watch?
And why?

You can only choose one, and pics are always welcomed ;D

For me it would be the power reserve indicator. Even on a automatic watch, if i didnt wear the watch for more than one day i would know how much power it is still storing.

Comes in especially handy in manual wind watches off course.

Date to me is not much of use. I don't adjust the date of my watches since I rotate to wear them. ;D

Title: Re: What complication is most usefull to you?
Post by: kltime on October 22, 2010, 08:26:35 AM: Chronograph and GMT, in that order.
Technically doesn't day and date qualify as complications though?

Title: Re: What complication is most usefull to you?
Post by: takashi78 on October 22, 2010, 08:38:07 AM: For when he knows when to howl at the moon hehe
Title: Re: What complication is most usefull to you?
Post by: kltime on October 22, 2010, 09:32:08 AM: I don't know about usefulness of moonphase but I think it does add to the overall asthetics of the watch la.... one that I like is the Ball moonphase watch which I saw at an AD. It has tritium tubes and glows as well.

Great looking Rolex GMT. The ceramic bezel is simply outstanding. :thumbsup:
And you've relegated the Daytona to the background.

:Cheers:
