This Is My Favourite Thing About (Insert Watch Here) Whats Yours?
I figure why not start a thread where we mention ONE thing, the most favourite feature...nuance...WHATEVER about a particular watch. Rolex, Non Rolex

So.....One the one thing you like most and if you like a picture showing the detail

My favourite thing about the Explorer 2........

How the lume looks against the white dial, especially in moderate lighting conditions

My favourite thing about my GMT Master II is how it pops in the sunlight, especially after having been in the water :)

The feeling i get when i loon at my Daytona; even after being my daily for close to 8 months.

Also, the silver concentric subdials. They almost look like they "sits deeper"than the rest of the dial.

Love how it's so tough, virtually unbreakable, yet absolutely beautiful.

I really like the red in the vintages, like a red secondhand or red lettering.

That's the meteorite dial, isn't it? Beautiful! I wonder how an Explorer II would look with that?

Everything about my Y-series black bezel GMT-II. I just love the look of it and that it dresses up or down as the occasion warrants.

There is something about the 18k gold with the sunburst...there is a warmth. I also love the feel of the watch on my wrist. It is substantial.

Love it! I was initially thinking about getting a BLNR when I can afford it, but this baby is going to be the one.

My favorite thing about this one is that it's my one and only, for now... I feel fortunate to be part of the club.
