Classic case and dial with three hands is my standard comfort zone. Not big on modern looks or chronos (never use the chrono function, and my simple mind likes to watch the big second hand move around the dial). I guess my main nod outside a classic look is color; I like the Doxa orange and other colors and blue dials.

Less...... I'd take a Panerai 112, Rolex DSSD, or Glycine Incursore any day over one of those tacky iced out Breitlings or those complicated moon phase multi-dialed watches.

I like my watches like I like my women. Simple and pretty.

For me, there is really nothing better in terms of design than the Rolex 5513 and the base PAM. So simple, effective, and legible, these designs are timeless. But I do get bored easily. I'm not a huge chronograph fan, but I'm about to buy another (maybe tomorrow if all goes well).
