Looking at Eddies recent new models, something strikes me as odd about my own tastes in watches, and wondered if I'm alone in this.

I love Divers, as I like a nice chunky watch, decent lume and a bezel for timing - eg Submariners, Sinn U-series, Seamasters, the PRS-14, 18 etc - but I just don't 'get' aviators and military watches like the PRS-10, 53, speedbird, the IWC pilot watches like the Mark IV, etc - they seem very small, anaemic hands, very plain, basic cases....

I'm not knocking them, I like the purity of design, don't have a problem with acrylic, but they just don't appeal to me in the way they seem to appeal to others. Odd as functionality in a watch is what really appeals to me, and I see people raving about this 'segment' of watches - anyone out there who feels the same, or used to but had a 'eureka' moment with a particular watch?
