Prefer watches without numbers on the dial be it roman or arabic except for the date

Jedirat · « **Reply #3 on:** August 11, 2016, 01:00:27 PM »

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.

AbbasHabshee · « **Reply #4 on:** August 11, 2016, 02:04:23 PM »

Sports, Dress, Dive and anything that appears to me? LOL

Usually those 3 categories i stated

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

Sports for me

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.

Interesting to hear the various directions the hobby takes....

I try to avoid indexes that comes in arabic or roman numbers LOL just like plain index that are not numbered

movement is also a consideration but since income isnt there yet, cant really complain much

TickTock · « **Reply #10 on:** August 12, 2016, 10:13:01 AM »

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.

phat7 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2016, 05:19:03 PM »

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

roystock · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2016, 08:44:27 AM »

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

xhawkx · « **Reply #14 on:** August 13, 2016, 09:16:21 AM »

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

Interestingly no votes for military watches.......

ebertho · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2016, 02:00:48 PM »

Diver and pilot for me.

Yoda · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2016, 07:06:50 PM »

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?

ericys · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2016, 05:03:13 PM »

My vote goes to dive watch. Come to think of it, all my watches are dive watches
