I have no specific preference as long as the watch appears to me and it is affordable to me, except that I normally prefer date window on it.

Simple shinny dial, Sharp or curvy hands, Arabic numeral attracts me the most!

I'll try to avoid domed sapphire crystals. I had only one watch with that kind sapphire crystal. I can't tolerate even it is only a slightly domed.

I have a mix of Arabic numbers, Arabic numbers and markers and Roman numerals. To this point I don't have anything with markers or indexes only. That's not saying I won't have one in the future. I just haven't seen one that goes to the top of "I've got to have it now" list.

I add watches based on price, style, function but most importantly it needs to "sing" to me. Some I thought I wanted just didn't do it for me once I tried it on.

I voted for dive watches, even though i don't dive. There is something about them that makes it so appealing.

I voted chronographs but apart from that i focus on watch cases and calibers.

I admire dress watch but always ended up with sport one due to their durability and ease to resell

My collection doesnt hv any specific theme..dress, divers, chronographs i love 'em all. Dont wanna limit.my options. However i only buy watches when i have a specific occasion (anniversary, promotion etc). That way every watch has a special meaning. Plus i can hoard watches w/o my wife complaining. LOL

Just voted dive watch cause of its legibly and "tough" so its very practical IMHO.

By the way anyone here a faithful brand watch collector i.e. focus on only one brand?
