Relatively new to watches, but I’ve really become addicted to the culture. Almost every aspect of it intrigues me. The current SOTC is only 2 Tags, an Omega AT, and a Seiko. But I’m very curious if my own preferences are unusual, since there are a number of things I really don’t like in a watch. Based on what I’m seeing online (here and other online forums), my preferences seem to be pretty plain, which is fine. Just curious if there are others like me out there. Note, I’m not bashing anything here. Just not my particular taste. Here is my list:

· No bezels

· No gold

· No NATO bands

· No chronograph

· No complications (I can live with a date)

· No numerals for hour markers(neither Arabic nor Roman)

· No skeletons

· No bright colors

· No digital

· No quartz

· No Tanks

I’m not lacking for watches to pine over, but there are definitely a large number of what seem to be very popular watch types that really don’t appeal to me, again which is fine. Thanks

    The current SOTC is only 2 Tags, an Omega AT, and a Seiko.

    I wouldnt exactly call that “only”. I am at a pretty similar level but with some added heirlooms for a bit more variety. So far i am actually just wearing my more vanilla modern watches.

    I am now at the point where i want tp add something more exotic now. Like complications or weird materials. So i think this is pretty common. First you want to have your bases covered. And once that is in place you can think about more niche things.

    I think i am heading for a bronze watch, such as the oris big crown in red with a bronze bracelet. That seems like a good middle ground of a still fairly conventional layout but with a weird material and inocuousbut special complication.

    But if you wanna stick to the normal stuff, there is also nothing wrong with that, as you already said.
