Watches you like but you know aren’t for you
Here’s a bit of weekend fun (hopefully).
In the few years I’ve been in this hobby I’ve come to a few realisations regarding stuff I like but either can’t pull off or it doesn’t suit my overall lifestyle / dress / MO.
Top picks among these are military watches, some of what I call big and tough watches (Big tool watches like a PO / SD / MM300) and oddly enough proper dressy stuff.
I tend to inhabit the middle of the road with versatile 3-handers which are smartish, I pick up a diver or a chrono now and again for some variety but they don’t tend to stick around long. I love the idea of a Damasko DC66 or a 90s Zenith grande elite, power reserve but deep down, I know they’re not for me.
Has anyone else had similar realisations?

Drooling but it will look on me like a saddle on a cow.

I tend to end up buying what I really like, would stay in my head and could fester for years before I pull the trigger. More often than not driven by seeing one in the wild. For example IWC Pilot Chrono, always liked but the 43mm and non in-house held me back. So when they released the 41mm with in-house there was nothing holding me back on that one and I’m delighted with it now.

Fifty fathoms. Proper ledgend diver but can’t get on with the size.
