The perfect watch, does it really exist???
Do you feel there is such a thing as the perfect watch? The watch you love without compromising a single thing.
For example I would love the Sub-c... if it had: - 16610 Case size (still want the new bracelet etc) - Red Submariner text I would get the GMTII-c at once... if: - It had the smaller bezel font (16710), not the cartoonish ones - 16710 case size (not a fan of the new wider lugs) A Daytona 116505 would be perfect..if: - The were no criminals wanting to rob you of yout fine watch.  - If the boss at the office wouldn´t look at you and think "who the h*ll does he think he is wearing a $30K watch" - If the general Svenska Avundsjukan (Swedish envy) didn´t exist The Patek 5146J-001 would look almost perfect if: - If they changed the dial and removed the three number markers to the simple sticks At the moment the watch that´s closest to perfection is the JLC Reverso. But still, I would like it to be rugged and water resistant as a Rolex. The search will continue for me and I guess I will own every Rolex model available until I find what I am looking for.

When I was in Beverly Hills last year, I went in Philippe's Watches. They had a 16610, but the previous owner customized the dial to get the "SUBMARINER" printed in red! SUBMARINER it was quite neat! I didn't have my camera at the time, my folks had it they were out taking pics of Rodeo Dr. Also tried on a 1680 RED, it was quite beautiful!

To me, the Sub C is as close as I think I am ever going to get! It could easily be my only watch.

That's like asking if the perfect personality exists....even the most outwardly positive people can be a pain in the butt sometimes.
There are excellent watches, but if you look hard enough (which I think you are when you are concerned about who will steal your Daytona) you'll find something to pick on with any of them. True love means you make it work and you learn to love those little issues...lol...sounds like I'm talking about something else...lol... Anyways, this one's as close to perfection as I've ever been...

Unless you become a Rolex designer you'll have to settle for their current imperfect models !! :)

If a Perfect watch existed then nobody would buy multiple watches. Variety is the key

 Until then I might have to redesign a Sub-c and make the guys at work go crazy with the CNC milling machine. Quote:

The DSSD would be perfect if it didn't have the curved crystal, which distorts vision, taking away depth of the dial.

Sea Dweller with a new style glide lock bracelet would be perfect.

Hmm no it doesn't.
If I had to pick only two watches they would be the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. They are the closest it comes. Kudos to Mr Genta on that one. If you asked me to pick just one ? I'd tell you to get lost :) |

My perfect watch... No quibble and for me unobtainable, however, one can dream... Right?

I feel there are a number of different very nice watches, so instead of just one I've decided to get a few.

I think a 116528 champaign is my perfect, being my grail but the DD I have is tied and perfect in its own aspects.
so, the answer is no. there are more than one |

If I could change one thing about the DSSD to make it perfect, I would build the case/bracelet completely out of Titanium to keep the weight around 160 grams max. I have never had a problem with the height of the watch, but it does have a very high center of gravity that I can definitely feel by the end of the day.
