What subtle features do you like about your watch?

I love the scratches in my 14060. It's a tool. Granted, the best tool in the whole shop, but still, an implement designed to take a decent beating. From desk diving to doorknobs to wrangling a combative patient, this watch can take the heat.

Lately, I've pondered putting it and cash up for a BLNR. I don't know if I got it in me to let it go.

I love the way my 14060M Sub looks at certain angles on an overcast day. The dial and bezel appear matte and the white gold hands take on a blued steel color from the reflection of the sky. I’ve tried to capture this in a photo but it is impossible. I see it the most when my left hand is at the top of my steering wheel when I’m driving. It’s just so beautiful to me.

The rattle of the 93150 Oyster bracelet is a charm as well. It feels very vintage even though it is not YET!

Yes!!! I love the tick sound my DSSD makes when it changes date, I only heard it for the first time recently - it's very cool. Let's face it, there is not much apparent subtlety to the Deep Sea, but if you look further, there are lovely details.

My personal favorite is the domed crystal, and how the curve of it meets the bezel so seamlessly.

The click of the clasp made me smile everytime.

I like one single subtle feature on all my watches: to put them on my wrist

The miniature Roman numerals on the chapter ring and the roulette date wheel always make me smile.

The ETA movement of my Date+Day allows for a flat caseback, making the watch noticeably more comfortable than my Rolex watches.

For all modern Rolexes, I like how the end links between the lugs almost look like they are fused together to the lugs, with no gaps. That's good craftsmanship IMHO.
