Watches you’d love to own, but doubt you could pull off?
For me, it’s the Islander Northport. That seafoam dial is crazy cool, but my wrists are pretty small and I don’t know if I could pull off such an “in your face” type of watch. Plus, I tend to dress on the preppier side and I fear it would clash a lot with my style. But man oh man, if that dial isn’t sweet.

Student, from the southeast. Love anything Seiko, Seiko mods, Casio, Tissot, and Islander watch. Working every day toward my grail of a white-dial 36mm Datejust on a jubilee bracelet!

Out of my league, both in price and in wrist size:
Oris ProPilot X Calibre 115
Ignoring price, wrist size isn't that limiting for me, but the intensity of the styling can be. There are a lot of beautiful green, blue, and red dial watches that I just can't see myself wearing. Same kind of applies to many dress watches and metal bracelets. I think they look really nice, but they just don't quite work for me in practice.
Cartier.
Love 'em, but I'm a grebo biker so not sophisticated enough to pull it off - but can enjoy the brand vicariously through my Mrs (Ballon Bleu)
Bulova Lunar Pilot
A Rolex GMT Master II, any reference really.
Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold. I think it's the hefty gold President bracelet that would overpower me with excess flash and symbolic bulk.
Brew Metric. Love Brew watches but they’re just too small on me :(
