To share my own thoughts, I left the brand several years back as my preferences changed (I wanted something smaller/lighter/less ‘blingy’). Coincidentally, I ended up returning to the brand recently with a model that:
• Is in titanium (I favour the brushed/matt look and the light weight)
• Has a domed crystal (creates an optical illusion of it wearing smaller)
• Has a GMT function (which works great when travelling)
• Has a manual movement and a decent power reserve (allows for more tactile interaction than an automatic; and is the only manual watch I own)
• Also happened to be a limited edition piece (the monopulsante function is a nice bonus but I rarely have any use for it!)
If I had to split hairs, the only thing I could/would change is having a date function, but we can’t have it all!
Morale of the story: Think about the rationale/must-have essential features, and it's pretty easy to narrow down your options from there.
