What’s your best looking watch?

To me that means best looking dial but you could interpret it differently. Mine is my Speedmaster Professional. I caught myself staring at the dial the other day for far too long and thinking how good looking the dial is 😂

I enjoyed my speedy for many years but eventually tired of it. I still like my Sekonda 3017 though, make of that what you will.

But... absolutely impossible to choose one. Just looking at my inexpensive watches I could choose several. I wore my Moels recently and although I looked at the dial many times during the day I didn't realise it was several hours out until the evening. I have a couple of Geckota chronos which look fabulous and a Forzo in cream and green. The Poljot de Luxes are very pretty. Obviously Perception and anything more expensive is going to captivate me, otherwise I wouldn't have moved into 4-figures. I'll also add today's wear to the mix:

My Seiko 5 is likely what matches the definition of "best looking" the most. In terms of "interesting to look at," My Lucerne takes the cake.

For me it's my Deep sea, due to the inner writing on the rehaut,also my job was looking for natural gas leaks ,so for it to read gas escape reminds me of the job I did

Great watch! A friend of mine let me try his Deepsea on a few years ago and I too love the rehaut text. Somehow it’s the first thing I see on this dial 👏

That's a tough question for me to answer because I have a decent number of watches and I honestly believe most of them really look quite fantastic. It's why they're in my collection after all!

I'll approach this question through the lens of versatility. What's my best looking watch for a wide variety of situations? Still difficult for me to make up my mind, but I think I'm leaning towards my vintage King Seiko 5626-7080.

It sits in a nice sweet spot with that elegant creamy white textured contemporary looking dial paired with its curvy and evocative cushion case. The navy blue shell cordovan strap I have it riding on gives it just the right amount of pizazz to bring out its more playful/casual side while still looking slick and professional.

Damn that's hard.

My Planet Ocean looks really dope, the BB Pro also. The Hesalite Speedy is a Legend.

But i'd say the Seamaster 300 is my best looking watch. Absolutely love everything about it. It even got a Sandwich dial, that reminds me of a Panerai. 😀

With all modesty aside, I have to admit my Brad Pitt like wrist makes just about any watch look pretty darn good.

Love to say my Seamaster 300, but best looking dial is probably my brown Seiko Alpinist 1959 reissue - it looks like miniature 3d printed rope, can't imagine how it was done 🤔

The depth of the dial, the raised hour markers, the depth of the subdials, the perfection of the chapter rings indices and applied markers, the big hands - to me, this all screams quality. Perfect in every way. And the color ... in the bright sun, the AR coated sapphire ... nearly walked into a light pole taking this shot 🤣🤣🤣

By best looking - I went with most eye-catching; 1968 Seiko 5.

Ironically, it's my least legible. The domed silver sunburst dial, with chrome hands, and a very thick crystal make reading this watch near-on impossible, day or night.
