Re: What Puts You Off A Watch.
Generally gold watches or mixture of gold and SS on bracelets and cases. I'm looking at you Rolex and some Breitling. All white gold or platinum is fine however. Arbitrarily putting diamonds on a dial or around the bezel hoping to make an OK watch appeal to women and definitely a no no to put diamonds on a men's watch. Taking a mainstream watch and arbitrarily changing the colour of some writing, such as writing Automatic on the face in red, blue etc and calling it a LE to create an artificial market to boost sales of a standard model. Get your designers to come up with a new model. Over large hands that includes the snowflake but somehow the broad arrows are acceptable. All perfectly square watches, rectangular ones are ok.

You'll have to explain that one Steve. Amateur Anagrammaticals was never my strong point...Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Well, Avia made some nice watches.

Re: What Puts You Off A Watch.
Well, Greg, you can't have a Rolex because it has an R and an E in it. Omega has an O and an M and an E.
Most brands contain one or more of your forbidden letters. Avia doesn't.
Grand Seiko would have to become GAD SIK.
