    Also yes - I'm pretty square - I like crowd pleasers.

    am I being dumb or is a word missing from this sentence?

    At any rate, I think TAG don't get enough credit for their designs. I remember once on the old place opinioning that a standard Cal 5 was much better looking than a Sub and getting PMs* enquiring after my mental health

    Bold wild watches.

    Like Gary123's collection is pretty freaking awesome.

    I like fairly conventional watches too but if that is all there was watches would be fairly boring.

    Also a wide range of sizes. I will gladly wear anything from my Smiths (33mm diameter, 41 lug to lug) to a Panerai homage at 47mm diameter. I don't get why people limit themselves so much.

    Oh also if a watch must have a date window, I prefer it in an odd spot. I'd rather own a watch with a date window at say 10 o'clock then at the normal 3.

    If we were still in the old country then I would simply say Rado, but they seem to be more accepted, or at least tolerated, here.

    What I like about here is that we all seem pretty friendly and are having all sorts of conversations with watch fans right across the spectrum.
    It's great! I love that we get excited about different things! And so nice to see and learn about watches and features I'm never likely to encounter in real life
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Seems like everything is (and it should be) accepted or tolerated here, which is why, IMHO, the new country is better than the old. Seems we brought the best of the bunch to the new country.
