Best looking watch?
Obviously a matter of opinion. Not looking for your favorite watch, or your grail, or even one you own necessarily, but what watch out there do you admire most purely for aesthetics? For me the Omega Speedmaster is my ideal in a visual presentation.

It’s gotta be RW Smiths series 4…..
2254 Peter Blake OMEGA Seamaster.
Tho my Seamaster is pretty close to perfect for me
My golden oldie VC comes very close to aesthetic perfection for me
I love this watch. Everything about it. One day I will own it.
I don't own the first but I'd argue these two are the most visually attractive watches I've seen. (Different looks ik but I like what I like)
However, despite its affordability, and my usual avoidance of the colour blue, to this day I've never seen a watch that I find as gorgeous as my very first, my orient open heart:
Saw this on Eric Wind’s website last year and it’s definitely the one that got away. I really hope I find another someday.
I’d say my Tissot seastar
A Timex Marlin looks better than anything posted so far.
It's probably not the best looking watch in the world, but people are goofing around and putting up things with dive bezels, chronographs, even tachymeters.
In my opinion, there are many good and charming looking watches, but if I had to vote for only one, it would probably be the breitling premier b25 datora 42

Yes AD8 is truly a stunning watch
However for non diver watches I really admire GS 44GS case so something like this
Too many to pick just one.
Here's a few that I like more than most...
From current collections these two:
But as with many things best designs were mid century ones, plenty to choose from
The original Explorer II 1655 was unpopular when it came out in the 70s. So much so that they radically changed it after only about a ten year run. I had one back in the day and started missing it lately. I've always found it an amazing looking watch. So when Steinhart and OLKO came out with this special edition of the Ocean GMT, I had to have it. It's love all over again. The most handsome watch I have ever seen (with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch a close second for me).
