Understated Cool
After having a discussion with someone recently on another post about great understated watches I thought I would open the question up.
I saw saying one of the things I loved about my Tudor Snowflake is that in general it is invisible to people unless they know what it is, but has the familiarity/DNA of a sub (plus Rolex detailing like engraved case and crown) and the awesomeness that comes with a true tool watch. Would love to hear what people consider to be their ultimate 'understated cool' watch.

For me, the most understated yet cool watch is the 14270. But I am too scared to buy it, afraid that I won't wear anything else
Love the vintage Tudor subs though. Anything with the snowflake or the Rose Tudor symbol. |

Love the strap, always buy 1-2mm narrower than lug width. Bravo!

I recall seeing pics showing Sean Connery wearing the strap at least 1-2mm Narrower. |

I am also guilty of getting a 20mm strap for my Planet Ocean (22mm) and it is cool for a few minutes than I get annoyed with the look... |

A style. Looks like the JB strap is more like 16mm. |

I think all vintage SS sport Rolex/Tudor watches are all pretty understated - esp on leather or NATO

All watches are understated unless your a pompous twit or into watches....Of all my watches none of my friends or family have any idea or give a toss whether they cost 10 bucks or 10 grand....

I tend to agree with the vintage Tudor vibe.
Ever since I finished my Tudor Sub project I haven't been able to wear my Sea Dweller for more than a few hours before putting back on the Tudor. Love the vintage patina and how it floats by under the radar. Beautiful Snowflake btw, love the blue dial ones! |
