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?...

Is there really much demand for such a thing?

I put the laugh emoji, but I'm not sure????

I have 13 Seikos and they are all either Essentials or Seiko 5s. I have 8 Hardlex and 5 sapphires. No scratches on any, even though 2 of my little old-school Seiko 5s (with Hardlex) suffered horrendous falls.

For whatever reason, the original SKX never resonated with me. You're right that the SRPD is a better watch in every way, especially the movement which replaces the old 7s26. I have the SRPD59, the orange one. Looks great, good bracelet, accurate movement, and all for $180.

Seiko still makes plenty of watches a regular guy can afford. I also have the new SUR517P1. Really impressive black "grid" dial, SAPPHIRE!!! (yawn), super accurate quartz, beautiful metalwork. It was $160.

That's great, thank you - I figured there would be a few wardrobe malfunctions! I'll just have to wait for the outtakes reel.

commented on Mechanical wind 34mm Timex Marlin(unisex)... $80!! Would you? ·

I hear that men can now be women and vice versa, so that should certainly qualify for watches as well.

"Match your watch to your tire inflator." I'm glad somebody finally had the guts to take this on.
