If you were designing a watch with your name (or your WatchCrunch name) on the dial, what would that watch look like?

We're all starting watch companies, and our name has to be on the dial. What would we want our first watch to look like? What features would it have?...

People can say what they want about Seiko but here we have a one-brand collection in various styles, colors and shapes. No other brand has such a selection with a beautiful dial on each one.

Speaking of which, your collection includes my all time favorite watch dial, the blue Cobblestone Ginza. If Seiko would release that watch again with the hands frozen at 10:10 and no movement at all, I might still buy it.

Is it possible for any Seiko to have an unspectacular dial?

I will narrow the price gap. I have 34 watches.

Least expensive: Casio Tough Solar STL-S300H. It was an orphan in the Walmart Clearance case. $10.

Most expensive: Seiko SRPD59, orange dial, $180.

I really like sailcloth. That's a great look you have there. And the Seiko is not too shabby either.

I recently bought a Seiko SUR517P1 for around $160 and it came with a sailcloth strap!

I actually do that. It keeps my little Seiko 5 bracelets from pulling them off.

Crank up the Bachman-Turner Overdrive (too early for Disco?)

Definitely worth fixing. Have never seen that one before. It's absolutely beautiful.
