you really want to like, but can't? Maybe I need to explain that.

I generally like UN watches, or at least elements of their watches, but no single watch they produce suits my tastes enough to consider buying one. They are either too big, too ugly, too blue, etc. It's a brand I want to like, but can't.

Anyone have a brand out there like that?

For me AP springs to mind immediately. They make awesome in-house movements, their fit and finish is superb... but their styling is horrible to me. Hublot is another, in that they should be more likeable, but their styling sucks (to me).

Hmmm...interesting question, Al.....a post that would be more along some bald loon's lines from downunder, but what the heck!!

My choice would be CARTIER. I do love the brand (I wear their glasses), but somehow I could never get myself to buy one....no matter what. If I was a smoker, I would love a Cartier lighter (but I don't, so that's out), and I also love any of their products with their name on it; but watches are out. The only Cartier I really admire is the PASHA model - all others are just not my cuppa although a lot of guys do have the Roadster.

That's a hard question to answer for me but the watch I try too like is an Invicta and I can't.

It seems everyone raves about them

and other forums run hot with them

but I try and I can't.

I am sorry if I offend,but to me they are plain copies.

The only reason I disagree with you Aaron, is because I have/will never try to love that brand.

You don't like the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer?

Beautiful watch, although the only one I like. Want one, gimme one

For me the brand would be Tag Heuer. I really like their style and some of the designs, but there is something that keeps me from them rather than draws me in. I am unsure what it is, but they are not on my list to get.

Don't hold back guys, you all mean Rolex but are afraid to admit it!
