Granted, we all have our unique tastes, needs etc.

I will begin:

40mm minimum. Prefer 42mm and up.

Height should be 12mm and up.

Automatic or wind-up only. No solar, kinetic etc... NO QUARTZ

Must have a dial (skeleton movements can sometimes seem unfinished to me)

Hands clean classic (nothing too art deco or I will take a hammer to it)

Hefty cushion cases are a plus.

Brushed/Satin, Stainless Steel or Ti is key.

Black, blue dials are a preference for me.

I'm a little more open....my only requirement is 42mm at absolute minimum and at 42mm it really needs to be something that excites me....

Other than that I go with whatever I like, regardless of finish, dial color, hands, etc....probably why I have around 150 watches....I have NO SELF CONTROLcrap.gif

I am a big fan of anything retro 60s 70s. Le Mans inspired chronographs with orange chrono hands etc.
