Your favourite watch.... only a little bit better
This is one of my favourite watches (although I am sure I think all of my watches are my favourite) but I was thinking, what if it was just exactly how i would like it.
The case size is great, just a touch over 43mm but as its so slim, very wearable. But what would I change if I could make this my most perfect version?
On the dial I would increase the size of the triangle markers and numbers just a little bit and make them all applied as opposed to printed. A screw down crown for 100m WR and this would be an awesome field watch.
What would do to your favourite watch?

Remove the date function from everything! 😁👍🏻
On mine move the lug holes just a little further away from the case so straps don't rub against it. Reduce the polish and increase crown size by .5mm
A better bracelet: more/better microadjust and on the fly sizing

I almost fully agree with that one. I never noticed date windows until I saw an article about them and now it's a game changer for me on a lot of watches. Most notable is the BP 60 Fathoms. Awesome watch but that date window....awful
I mean 50 fathoms
Not quite the question, but if I could get the sword hands sinn uses on some of their divers on the U50, that'd be one of my favorites. They have sword hands on the titanium version and the oil filled quartz diver, but I really like the regular U50 in every other way.

I suppose any variation of bits to make up a watch you love even better is OK.
This is mine. I'm sure it has a date on it, where I don't know. So I would add a easily readable date
Remove crown guards from Sinn 556i and modify crown to suit.
On each of my watches I would add/remove/change something, that's part of the game, but mainly :
-On my Timex S1 Giorgio Galli S1 38mm, I would change the movement, the 9039 is way to noisy regarding the quality of the watch. Would add a better WR (100 or 150M would be perfect), and maybe a more playful handset.
-On my Citizen PMD56 : Would delete the day and move the date at 6 to better balance the dial, would delete at least 4 lines of the lettering, and add some texture to the dial.
-On my Farer Resolute : Would add better WR, change the handset for a more classy one and get the last version with the LJP G101.
