Thank goodness we all appreciate different things in life - whether that's partners, homes, watches, cars - there's a great range of tastes and everything is catered for. Your taste is your own, and this thread isn't meant to be divisive...

Thank goodness we all appreciate different things in life – whether that's partners, homes, watches, cars – there's a great range of tastes and everything is catered for. Your taste is your own, and this thread isn't meant to be divisive – just because I think something is ugly, doesn't mean it is ugly. To illustrate, aesthetically I think the Rolex Explorer sucks – this isn't an anti-Rolex thing, many DateJusts are lovely…

That being said, there are some super popular watches out there…

In your opinion, what's the ugliest watch other people love?

There's a huge variety of watches out there, but frequently it's what is on the inside, rather than the outside which makes up most of the difference.

Being relatively a heathen when it comes to the finer detail of movements, and being of relatively modest income, I'm content to stick to my tier.

I'm lucky enough to own all of the bottom row, but if money was no object I'd only swap one of them for the one above - which one?

As I'm sure you know, in Britain we drive on the lefthand side of the road - this means I never get to see my watch!

Sitting in the righthand front seat whilst driving means that the right (watch free) hand/wrist is the one that sits on the steering wheel, while the left hand changes gear or sits on my lap (I've always preferred manual). Being a righthander, I've always worn my watch on the left wrist, so, I don't catch glimpses of it as I drive. At work, my watch is hidden under a cuff - I...

I haven't actually tried this yet, but it seems like a brilliant idea. Does anyone have any experience of it?

I couldn't find any previous mention of it here on the Delugs forum, which seems odd as it's very innovative. Having said that, for all I know other manufacturers may have been something similar for years. Still, patent-pending (for Fitwell, not Delugs) apparently.

Now, if Delugs would just offer less of a taper on their straps, I'd buy a Crazy Horse strap with the Fitwell...
