That UN. I don't like how in the 9 spot they have the date (which shows a number), and the 6 they have the sub-seconds, and at 2 they have date. It seems very jumbled as opposed to having a purposeful layout.

I don't believe the watch was meant to be purposeful, to me this is a watch that you wear when you're on vacation and you don't care about what day of the week it is. The smooth minute and hour hands, the minimal second markers in the seconds dial, the fact that there's only 12 and 3, I think that's exactly the way they wanted it to be, just laid-back. I like the uncommon layout, and btw the number in the 9 spot is the hour for the second time zone.

For vacations you don't buy bracelets you buy straps

That would look good on a rubber strap or black strap.

I'm with Kevin while I think UN is fantastic that 2nd time is misplaced. Jumbled or something.

As far as a daily stainless steel watch I love the AP ROO diver (on bracelet more than rubber) and also the PP Nautilus 5711.









For the dressy watch I really like this IWC Portuguese 7 day.

This on my wrist would make me consider to stop collecting.


I think I'd be perfectly happy stopping after getting that.
