New submariner. I like the design, i like the structure, the feeling etc. It's so common that i can't stand it.
I've seen it so many times that i got tired...

-Breitlings are a mixed bag - some nice, some ugly
-most watches with over complicated dials
-diamond indexes are tacky as hell
-cartier pasha with the amovible grill in front of crystal
-Richard mille are bulky and atrocious but I do like the skull one as a tacky accessory. Would not buy the gen if I was Bill Gates even.
-some rolex daytonas two tone with golden dials look fake even when bought from an AD

The inherent trap here is that whatever I insult today, I'll probably find an affinity for in 6 months or 6 years ...

But with the forethought of eating crow haha, I cannot stand most Omegas, Breitlings, RMs, Hublots, anything with gemstones and anything with skulls. I'm pretty sure I'm safe on the last two ...

I also cannot (despite multiple attempts) fall in love with Rolex. I've had gens and reps and either way I'm left underwhelmed. Not a fan of ridiculous reps that really have no business being produced. ALS, VC and PP examples come to mind -- with the Sky Moon being the most laughable example.

AP ROO's and Panerai, although for some reason I have to stop myself from buying them. I keep thinking I must be missing something. It's like watching a train wreck.

Answering the OP directly...

AP ROO and all the Panerais. I keep trying to like them, since I know they’re good reps, but I just think they’re gross.

Fantastic thread this, shows the true mix of humanity and taste
How someone can loath an planet ocean and yet wear a gold and diamond Rolex with pride is a mystery to me.

Just goes to prove as a race of bipeds we all different and special in our own way.

I for one will stop hating the watch but instead start loving the wearer.

Go on, admit it. The only watch you like is the one on the front of your cellphone..:confused::hypnotized::D

Hahaha -- unfortunately not. I have a rather broad collection of reps, gens and microbrands and I suppose what ties them all together is that they are a little bit different than the prototypical class (dress, sub, tool) of watch without being so unique that they burn retinas. Subtle differentiation I suppose you could call it ...
