Time-only watches
As much as I enjoy nerding out about complications, my favorite watches are still simple 3-handers. This Vintage Grand Seiko 45GS and the Longines Heritage Sector are two of my favorite time-only watches.

Those are both lovely.
I'll start by saying I'm pretty new to the hobby of collecting so only one of my pieces are time only.
My Vostok amphibia however is one of my favorite pieces overall. Wear it a lot at work, durable and reliable.
I’m gonna keep beating my Ranger drum here.
My favorite time only 3 handers are all 369 dial watches, which means the trio of Explorer look alike that I own and the Lorier Safari.
My only no-date watch, a vintage piece from a member of the Nicolet family in Tramelan, Switzerland. Nothing fancy, hand wind, just keeps time.

That is a cool homage of the Omega railmaster. I didn't know that existed; I'll have to check it out as the railmaster is out of reach at the moment.
All I want to buy are pure time only watches. Let's be honest here, we all have our smart phones to tell the time. My watches serve a different, more emotional, purpose. As a collector, I get you.
This is stunning! Can you tell me more about this model?

Thanks!
Its old. 1950s tons of services scribbled all over the case back.
1939 Hamilton Endicott. Only one I got that all hands and indices. Still trying to figure out the right strap for this little gem though.
Really like your ethos @TheStyledDial !
My favorite is my old acquaintance, GS SBGX209
It does it's job as reliably as possible, with a smile and them gets out of the way 🥰#grandseiko #minimalist #shibui

Thank you very much Chad! I can only return the compliment 😀
My Willard - I'm over 50 so can't see the pointless date complications anyway!
My favourite is my Seamaster 300 from 2014, nice & date free! ( I really dislike that complication on any watch)
An old Pulsar quartz
