The practical stuff:

1) More chronographs used thinner movements (like Ebel's 137). I'd still have my Chronoris if it wasn't quite as tall.
2) All but the most expensive dress watches had drilled lugs - Thanks for being sensible Grand Seiko.
3) Every bracelet had something like Rolex's Easylink extension...I could see this happening one day.
4) Field watches used acrylic crystals.
