I always love a watch with a black dial. Classic with a little edge of glam.

(Personally I own just two watches, one with a white dial and one with a black dial. Between the two of them, I think they go with every outfit/occasion/season.)

I tend to prefer pieces that not a lot of people like or know so I was never a fan of Rolex. Everytime someone gets asked what their dream watch is, it's almost always a Rolex so that unfortunately put me off a perfectly good brand, which is quite unfortunate! So personally, Cartier :smile:

Hmmm, there’s a reason so many people consider Rolex a dream watch! BTW, the article posted above is excellent.

Absolutely! I found when the majority goes for something, I will almost always pick something else. It's somewhat a bizarre attitude. Hence, why I said it's unfortunately put me off a perfectly good brand.

My dream watch is AP and when people ask me, I get a lot of blank looks. That's exactly what I prefer.

I think it depends on your crowd... seems like almost every celebrity has an AP these days. I've noticed about equal Rolex and Cartier owners among people I know but it could be an age thing. I feel like Cartier may be a little more in style for younger people these days.

Audemars Piguet?
There are so many great watches makers, why only choose one brand?
Here in NYC, Patek is huge in some cercles.
Rolex is practical. Solid, pragmatic and reliable. And instantly recognizable.

I actually tend to shy away from what the in crowd is obsessing over, too but I also appreciate quality and the legacy of a brand. I have mostly Rolex and Patek for that reason and very little designer branded jewelry beyond that. I don’t like seeing my exact watches everywhere and that’s the especially nice thing about Rolex...there are so many iterations.

I'm not a watch person, I have an Omega watch which I probably haven't worn in over 2-3 years. Such a waste... Patek Phillipe is an amazing brand too! But if I were to have 1 watch only until the day I die, I choose AP. It's a personal preference.

I have nothing against Rolex. And for probably the 3rd time in this thread, it's a perfectly good brand, they make excellent watches.

Good day ladies. We're digressing and hijacking the thread. If anyone still wants to question why my dream watch isn't Rolex, pm me maybe? Lol.
