What watch most unexpectedly wowed you?
Every watchpro knows that feeling when you try on a watch that really wows you. Often, these are watches you knew were extraordinary. But, have you been surprised by a watch you weren't expecting to be great? Please share here your biggest surprise watch ...
Ok here is a small list. The funny thing is that the list would have been longer if you asked how many watches disappointed me after seeing them in the flesh... ;)
But let's play your game: Not all are mines, alas... Best, Nicolas ...
A few of these I now hope to see in person someday!
I can see all of these, such as the montblanc, and the ALS, will have a special life on the wrist that a picture can't quite convey.
Spangles, that is funny. I love almost all of the breguet designs, yet i always wondered why anyone should buy this particular piece. I have yet to try it on, so now i know that it could
very well be my fault. Thanks for reminding me that i should try this piece. And the best part: An Enamel dial isnt even something special with this manufacture. Cheers
Last time this happened, it was 2 different watches on the same day! Never thought I would like these two.
I tried two Patek on the same day, literally one after the other, both for the first time. The Nautilus 5712A and the first regulator. I was stunned, needless to say it took a while and a good chunk of money but eventually I got both. Funny enough I got t...
Both are very special watches.

This one...
never expected that it would haunt my dreams. Pure unobtanium for me... ...
I'd say the flightmaster
I typically say the fewer crowns the better. Never thought I could love one with FIVE!!!! I don't own one yet, but it's in the plans😉 Photo credit misterenthusiast on IG ...
By the way, I would like to see your "top 5 disappointing watches when tried on the wrist" someday, please!
Could be here, hidden in this thread to avoid attention or it could be its own topic, however you like!
Bought this unseen...
Only read reviews and was originally concerned on the smaller size but it turned out...Beautifully, very glad I did it. ...
A fellow member has been trying to sell this in the Collectors Market here...
I also saw a couple if you search online...Thank you and hope you’ll find it soon.
VC Harmony
For me that was the Vacheron Harmony. I was looking for a watch and the lady in the boutique suggested the newly introduced Harmony. I had seen the watch on many pictures and read reviews on different sites. But I didn’t like it. Thought it big clumsy etc...
Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force & Laurent Ferrier Tourbillon Grand Sport
I had a chance to see both at Dubai Watch Week 2019. ...
I have it with Rolex.
On pictures i do not like them. But in live it is a different thing, and i like them.
boutique and online purchase
When it comes to watches, i have two habits. 1. By coincidence i walk by a watch boutique. Look trough the window, and if i see a nice watch, i go inside and buy. 2. I read online watch articles. Go to chrono24 to do some research, and when a retailer hav...
