I like that beefy diver but not the sinister lefty crown!
Funny how when you get into watches you get very nit-picky preferences which can be make or break when it comes to pulling the trigger on a purchase
Kap posted a tank with a nice case and bracelet but heinously large numbers.
I really like that Hamilton GMT that Jazz posted recently, but the second hand looks backwards and the GMT hand is ridiculously short.
I have a preference for divers but don’t like long second hash marks, along with hash marks all around the bezel.
And I‘ve mentioned many times I don’t like date windows at 4 o clock. 3 or 6 is fine by me! I also don’t like dates on a sub dial, not on the flange of the main dial with a long pointer.
I hear you about being nit-picky about certain things. I'm with you on the date window. 3:00 is my preference and while a 4:00 or 6:00 date window isn't a deal breaker, dates on subdials are.
As for the LHD, I'm a lefty and wear my watch on the right wrist. I have a few LHD watches and generally don't care one way or another because my stubby sausage fingers aren't really nimble enough to use the crown while the watch is on my wrist no matter which side it's on... except with this watch. Because it's so beefy, the watch sits high enough on my wrist that it's pretty easy to operate the crown while I'm wearing it.
