General preferences?
Curious as to your preferences on several general attributes of a timepiece:
1. Automatic or manual movement
2. Date or no-date
3. Strap or bracelet
4. Base metal or precious metal.
Answer however you wish - could be for a daily piece, a special piece, your favorite piece - does not matter. My selections:
Manual, no-date, strap, base metal

The only difference, not a paradigm as I do like the occasional automatic for something that you take off a few days and put back on. Or on a trip just something to have on. But for enthusiast pieces , this is the way.
Ok, I'll play - automatic, no date, strap.
That is my favorite combination for any day, any occasion.... 🙂👍
For me...
Preferences: 1. Automatic or manual movement - Manual 2. Date or no-date - NO DATE 3. Strap or bracelet - Strap 4. Base metal or precious metal. - Either as long as it's white, gray or black
Great Question: probably something like this!
Automatic, no date, comfy bracelet and Ti ...
for me
1. Either, but should be beautiful. and I'm a sucker for long power reserve. That would be my tie-breaker. 2. No date. 3. Strap, bracelet okay but picky and buckle/clasps must be thin! 4. Ti or Rose/Pink Gold, Steel is third.
Exact same choice of me, except concerning the metal:
I prefer precious, especially pink or yellow gold or platinum. But otherwise, definitely manual, no-date, strap! Best, Emmanuel
It depends
1. Automatic or manual movement: manual in theory but for diving watches automatic is a safer and more convenient choice, with maybe the exception of luminors with their crown lever which makes winding less of a chore. Give me an automatic over a manual w...
It's not a dealbreaker, but I can easily do without the date.
The rest is pretty much either choice s OK, which could be determined by the watch.
My preference is
manual, no date, bracelet, stainless steel. But I am fine with automatic movement.
I was thinking about this exact topic today before reading this timely post!
1) For me the movement depends somewhat - if an everyday watch I actually prefer automatic slightly as it is simply easier, I am ashamed to admit. For dress watches or periodic wear casual pieces than I prefer manual. 2) Definitely no-date. 3) Definitely ...
Depends on the use. At work I prefer with date, since I often check it.
Off working hours I prefer without. Manual, strap, white metal (don't bother which).
Depends but
Manual. Thinner and usually easier to see the movement. I also like winding watches. No date. Usually implemented in an ugly way imo. Although I love the way a lot of perpetual calendars display the date. Strap. I love mixing up the aesthetic of a watch w...
Your Tutima Glashütte looks amazing!
My preferences are as follows: 1. Automatic 2. Date 3. Bracelet for sports watches and rubber straps for dress watches (see example below) 4. Base and precious metals ...
Michael no AP in there for you ? :-)
I am in essence a time only sorta guy. Simplicity works for me, but I do enjoy certain complications such as chronographs. Increasingly gravitating towards precious metal especially white and rose gold for their warmth. Manual wind for me over autos. Brac...

Likewise manual, no date, strap and base metal, with a preference for titanium. But looking at my collection, I am far from sticking to this, with perhaps the exception of strap - that does seem to be a common feature 😂🤷🏻♂️
