    Doesn't look much of a watch to me... ;)

    Did you maybe forget to attach a photo?

    In answer to your question, I've always like the 3520.53.00 Speedy "MK40".

    I only learned recently how much many people hated it with the release of the HD10 LE.

    Really had to search to find a photo of this one. It's up for sale but only because I so rarely wore it but it's a very well made, fun watch:

    I am with Gostang on this. I really like the Mk40 too. I even dig the Hodinkee tribute. Not as much as the original, but I’m not mad at it like the masses.

    So yeah for me it’s the MK40.

    I had one of these as a daily wearer a LONG time ago, and I know the average OF'er abhors "Fashion" watches but damn if I didn't just love it....

    Worked fine, told the time and was cheap. Can't really beat that.

    I don't understand how anyone could hate a watch with a name as adorable as "Seaslug"!

    Never seems to be much love for either Cartier, or Universal Geneve from the 90’s…but both in my watch box

    I knew a girl who sold high end watches @ Sachs 5th Ave in Manhattan and these mid 90's UG's flew off the shelves @ $4900 with very little discounting (full retail). Right around the price of a TT Submariner (at the time).

    I seem to have good luck finding poor guys going through rough divorces who received these UG's as wedding gifts and are happy to spitefully sell them at deep discounts.


    .*edit - I don't know much about Cartier save for the fact that theyre beautiful watches.

    A few people have been known to hate my two “ridiculously loud stopwatches” pictured below. :eek:

    “There’s that Mad Dog guy checking his two ridiculously loud stopwatches again!”

    As far as I’m concerned, the haters can eat poo sandwiches. :thumbsup:

    Navitimer 01 is hated which he posted. The 806 aka the original everyone loves.

    The 01 or current is too big, not as nice of a dial and has a date window. At least to most people.

    The DR isn’t all that bad. That AP however...


    I’ve taken a shine to the Hublot Unico Titanium 42mm...
