Watches you'd like if it weren't for one detail

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms - love everything about it apart from the date at 4:30 which is a show stopper on any watch for me.

Actually, most of Chris Ward's range if it wasn't for the logo.

I agree with this. There's some very attractive watches but both new and old logos are awful.

I owned a Rolex Datejust 116200 a few years back, lovely watch apart from the roulette datewheel which annoyed the hell out of me. Steel watch, blue dial, why spoil the look with a red date on white background every alternate day?

Any GMT watch doesn`t work for me; having a second hour hand simply clutters the dial.

I love it, but it has too many lines of text on the dial. Without "chronometer" and "officially certified" it would have been way better.

One zero too many in the pricetag.


No seriously

6-9-12 dials, I prefer them without the 9

Same lume dots on all indices. I want a clear 12 o clock.

I couldn't agree more - also the words 'Rotor self-winding' annoy me. Just say Automatic or pretty much anything else! Which is a shame, because I really like the Pelagos (although still with reservations about the hour hand).

I no longer have an issue with date windows at 4:30.....for me (apart from the price), this could be a contender for my sole watch if it were not for the rear of the second hand being soooooo long!

And to be honest, I am glad I can find 'fault', may be some tiny irritating detail, which makes me reject the possibility of a watch buying experience. There are already far too many lovely/perfect watches out there!
