Yep, it isn't too fussy, nice balanced dial. They also look nice with a white face, but I think I prefer the black.
I was extremely close to pulling the trigger on one a little while ago, but I bought an R8 Les Paul instead. That was sold long ago, so I wish I had bought the watch!
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I starts d work typesetting in my teens and stopped, as I found the strap restricted movement of my wrist with different heights of keyboard and typewriter. It was especially bad when it came to playing guitar.
I got good at telling time without a watch, but that's fallen by the wayside now I carry a mobile phone
Very difficult to beat Seiko at the price point.
My collection is mainly vintage and have a soft spot for Omega Speedmasters.
I made a little site about mine some years ago if anyone is interested.

Should be a 22mm but I only had a 20mm spare.
BTW I've got a vintage Heuer diver..
Some people say it's a poor man's A Lange & Sohne, see below, but I think they're lovely in their own right.
Glashutte Original are expensive enough. A Lange & Sohn are not really affordable outside of winning the lottery!

Still might pick one up.
I've moved on to flight watches now. This is going to ruin me.
The Panomatic Lunar is one of those watches that looks lovely on a bracelet, or leather strap too. I really like it on steel.
The watch itself is expensive, but I think last time I enquired about the cost of the bracelet it was over 2k and that was in 2013.

So I started off with Rolex - Daytona, Sub, GMT, Air-King and then moved on to Panerai and IWC.
I currently own a 2015 Rolex Explorer and a Tudor Heritage Chrono. They're well built, reliable and not too flashy.
The main problem I had when collecting high end timepieces was getting them serviced. It's expensive, slow and I lost count of the number of issues when the watches were returned - thumb prints under the crystal, hair and dust on the dial, poor polishing, mis-aligned hands...drove me mad.
I still lust after all kinds of watches, particularly Vacheron Constantin, Breguet and Zenith but I'm keeping the collection small and simple.

The actual time telling section is so small you may as well wear a ladies cocktail watch!
Coupled with the giant date, the huge sub seconds dial and loads of spare dial face.....
They look quite impressive on a magnified pic as above but as a wearer............
Talking of Flight watches.
My Omega Flightmaster.......
I can understand where you're coming from. I just really like that style of face.
@Sporky, I also prefer the GO.

Really didn't need to see that.
Can't go wrong with a Speedy. Get the basic 3570.70 model, it is an icon.
