Watch you bought but weren't sure about but that pleasantly surprised you...

For me...Seiko Pepsi PADI I love it...and Seiko 007...can't wait for Blue Lagoon model!

Also Steinhart Vintage Ocean Chrono and Vintage Ocean Military...under-appreciated brand...

And perhaps my favorite (after my BLNR) is my CWC Quartz diver which is insanely cool...

Hulk Sub. Dial is just amazing in color and photos can't do it justice.

Reverso tt 1931. I thought it would be too plain, and the lack of any movement on the dial would be boring. After a couple years of ownership, I still think It just works perfectly.

My first Pam, 233 "dot" dial, and also my Patek 5712, was used to big and heavy watches, and my 5167R, wanted a RG piece but thought like already happened, that I wasn't gonna love it, but no, I love and wear it, ultimate versatile RG piece, with big stealth mode

Seiko SRP777. Bought mainly to fill the empty slot in a watch box and figured if I didn't like it I could just use it on holiday or once in a while.

Wear it a lot on the weekends and in the week when I work from home. Great watch.

+1 with all those that said the SKX007

I bought one on a whim, and at the time didn't even really care for any diver watches. Not only did the SKX exceed my expectations, it also got me wearing all kinds of divers I wouldn't have considered before.

Another for Seiko Padi, bought as a holiday beater but worn frequently at weekends. Alas it was sold to go towards a bigger watch but its given me a bit of a Seiko itch and the Samurai Blue Lagoon is on order. If only I could find an SBDC007

Just picked up a MontBlanc :

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...rie-ultra-slim

Complete impulse purchase after seeing it in the window of a Montblanc boutique. First dress watch so I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I've been very impressed with it so far. Even the movement looks pretty nice for being a stock ETA 7001. Made me realize I rather do like dress watches, esp hand wind ones.
