No matter how hard I try to like the watch, there's always something that makes me get rid of the watch. I've bought and sold 3 iterations now (the reduced, a vintage from the late 90's and the most recent Buzz Aldrin butt edition). I understand the history and they're nice enough in pictures, but I think it's the lyre lugs that kills it for me.
2.) Vintage
Not a specific watch per se, but just vintage in general. I've owned a Tudor Snowflake and a birth year 16800, both of which lasted around a year or so - not to mention vintage Hamiltons and Omegas that have come and gone as well. Like the Speedmaster comment above, they look nice in pictures (patina, domed crystals, etc.), but I think I'd rather have something that will look new for a long time, thus my love for the 16710 and newer pieces.

The butt watch shouldn’t really count….because….butt
