I’ve always worn a watch as far as I can remember starting with a Texas Instruments digital watch with a Star Wars theme. Mostly interested in mechanical watches but I don’t snub my nose at a nice quartz watch especially a high accuracy Grand Seiko or Citizen. Never set out to collect timepieces but since I’ve kept most of my watches, I have a modest collection.

Which would you pick?
What simple 3 hand, versatile watch would you pick? Pretty similar design, 2 being chronometers and 1 having a reliable ETA based movement. Two are a $800 apart and one more than 2 times as expensive.

Design is the top reason for me but the other reasons play into my decisions as well to some degree with longevity being the least important.
I don’t have a “true” GADA watch, I’ve just forced the watches I have into that role by wearing them when I go anywhere and do anything. 😉
I would like a “true” GADA like a DateJust or an Aquaterra but I have a wife and a mortgage. Maybe I’ll settle for a Traska.
“Slab sided” has nothing to do with thickness. The Rolex GMT and the BB GMT as most of their other tool watches have slab sided cases, the Tudor being thicker.
Nice. I have the original from the 90’s. Didn’t know it had 30 meters WR. Wore it daily for 3-4 years, positive I wore to swim many times.
