I saw an old thread from 2016 on this but I figure a lot of members have bought new watches since then. So as of 2018, which of your watches are currently getting the most compliments?

I think for users that are looking to buy a new watch, many will ask others to recommend them one. But I think it's very subjective based on tastes and what you plan to wear it with since a watch is also part of your style. But a good starting point is to get survey info on how the average watch does out in the wild with the general population as far as compliments/attention goes. So I think sharing this info is very helpful and can give people ideas on watches to consider.

Pics of your popular watch are appreciated as well. :)

Close race between my 5167 with profs AR, and my standard 5711 R grey dial.

Good topic but really difficult to say.

I could go safe and say that my two-tone AP 15400, Zenith Pilot GMT and PAM 111 will always get noticed because of their size, color and geometry. But, I would have to go with these four below, which always start a conversation!

And what's a watch topic without pictures :)

1. Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Circled - the 8 formed by the two dials gets noticed immediately

2. Girard Perregaux 1966 Dual Time - fully functional just like the gen

3. Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultramarine Blue (old model) - classic but the blue dial is stunning, especially in the sunlight

4. Franck Muller Crazy Hours Color Dreams - I wear this one rarely but, whenever I do, it is THE topic

Black Bay Bronze (XF/V6)

I really want this one too! Did you go with the bronze and blue, brown or red? My only concern is it bronze plated like rose gold where it can rub off? I swore I saw one for sale by a member on a forum and the corner looked like the bronze had wore off and was showing silver. Overall a very nice watch.

Woah that is a nice collection of interesting watches! I really like that crazy hours one and the dual time one. The vacheron does shine very nicely as well.

It's the brown/red one, although im considering the blue simply based off the attention it gets . It's solid bronze, not plated - what you probably saw was patina/oxidation on the case

Mine is natas78 blue sunburst Slytech, followed closely by the blue AP15400.
