The IWC Timezoner collection falls in this category for me. I think they look cool, and turning the bezel to interact with the movement's time zone changing function is so satisfying. But they're too expensive and way too large for me

This is Rafa. He likes boxes the way I like watches

I think these Strat-o-timers are seriously impressive given their relatively low asking price. Not only do they play the usual microbrand game of "checking all the boxes" for features and specs; they do it with a lot of the overlooked intangibles like refined, mature design, nice tactile feedback from all the interaction points, good feel in the hand, etc. I've been following the brand pretty closely the past few months, and they seem confident in their pursuit of becoming a staple in the enthusiast market. I'm curious to see what their next product line will be.

All that said, I think I'll be upgrading this WatchCrunch Strat-o-timer to a Longines Zulu Time in the next couple weeks. This was meant to satisfy the craving I've had for the Zulu Time, but I think most of us know that just never works. :)

I had to downsize my collection to get it, but my choice would be the new Speedmaster '57. It has all of my favorite features rolled into a single perfect watch for me

I don't watch his videos, but I did enjoy the interview he did with Scottish Watches where he dropped the cartoon character act.

That said, I legitimately find him more tolerable than The Time Teller.

Congrats on the watch! The first time I saw a video of that time setting feature, my mind was blown -- similarly to the first time I set foot in King's not long ago. The selection in that place is way beyond what I'm used to. I didn't have much time to really dig into the inventory, but I had a quick chat with Jim, who was an absolute pro. He even handed me his personal gold Reverso to play with

Very cool. I've been eyeing that exact one for awhile. Were you surprised by anything when you got your hands on it, or was everything pretty much as expected?
