5 Watches I Love but Would NEVER BUY - sometimes we don't always get what we want. Sometimes there's a watch that we love, but for some reason or another it just isn't right. Maybe it is too large, or too blingy, or too overpriced. Here is my 5 watches that I LOVE but would NEVER BUY.

LOVED this video Great format Funnily enough I recently bought a Sky-Dweller (love it, agree big watch) and a year ago the Panerai Luminor Due (great comment re water resistance “like wearing glasses to look smarter”. agree with you!) Have tried on the Octo Finissimo, also could never get it to work for me on the wrist. Think I’m not a fan of ultra thin watches Keep up the great content Really enjoyed

For me it's the Tag Heuer Monaco, i like the watch alot and got to try it out recently, and while most people think it's too big size wise, it's actually not too bad on that aspect. But the thickness is the main issue, you could rock a Monaco on a small to medium wrist IF it wasn't so thick.

Great topic idea! I loved everything about the look of the Nomos Tangente power reserve - until someone mentioned that it's funny that the non-numeral markers all look like they could be the numeral "one" (especially with the first marker being nestled between the actual numerals "12" and "2"). I can't unsee it now and that's definitely holding me back from getting anything from the Tangente model family.

Which one of the Octo Finissimo’s did you try? Because to me the fit depended a lot on the model. All the steel ones are too big for example. Far to big. But the original time only titanium was weirdly perfect. And if you ever can try it, the old, now discontinued, sandblasted rose gold one is kind of a miracle. It’s the most subtle, giant, architectural hunk of gold I ever wore on my wrist.

But then, there's this overproportional abomination of an hour hand, that just ruins the entire watch for me. I'm incredibly picky with hands in general, and if I don't like one of the 3 hands on the dial, the entire watch is dead to me - no matter how cool it may be!

The one thing that keeps me from buying most watches is common to all of them.... Price. Now, money no object, I refuse to buy a watch if it's got a 4:30 date (or similar off axis location).

Britt!! I don't know if I have ever given this topic any thought. But now you will have me up at night trying to come up with a similar list. For me most of the watches I would not buy are watches I do not like or are meh about. I cannot think of a watch I love, but would not buy. So 30 minutes has passed since I started this comment, and I am still at a loss for a watch that meets this list for me. I may have to come back later....Long Live the Cult(s)!!

I tried that Omega Ploprof on my 7 1/2 inch wrist and it looked so so good , I just love this watch with the unusual design a bit like the Panerai these are so different to others and I think thats were my attraction is with them. May I just add they used to do a baby ploprof maybe try that. The Vacheron do women still wear watches like these ? I see more women wearing sports watches esp if they are into watches.,

Tried on the Octo Finissimo two separate times at the 5th ave boutique, lovely talking with the sales people, just can't do it. Feels too much like a cuff and I just can't do it. I love the movement, thinness and look on other people but my wrists can't support it, sadly.
