Wrist Presence

Hublot gets a bad name around here, but I think they have a ton of wrist presence!

Show off the timepiece from your collection with the most wrist presence!

If "wrist presence" means drawing attention, then very few watches can beat my all RG AP Skeleton for sheer wrist presence. Not even my RG44. Actually, that's exactly why I seldom wear it.

Many watches exude wrist presence in different ways – there’s no one watch which trumps all others, when you think about it logically.

I had a Daniel Wellington and I gave it away. I did not confuse it with my Patek Calatrava, in terms of movement, build quality, materials and appearance.

Me, too!

It's the only watch purchase I've ever regretted at any price.

Patek, Lange, and the likes don’t need physical presence to be present. That’s the main idea :-)

Wrist presence = ego. I know that will generate comments, but that is what I perceive it to be. I don't purchase a watch for the effect it will have on others. "Others" are not paying for it. I enjoy the pleasure it's presence gives to me.

i disagree. Some watches are WG or PT and no one but you even knows its not SS.

I like to wear a perfectly tailored suit when i dress up. Does it have presence for other's and do people notice it in a room full of "off the rack" guys? Sure. But i wear it for me.

I have a nice collection of watches. Have received one compliment in the wild in 18 years. I agree that almost no one else cares about our watches.

Less as in less physical material comprising the watch. The watch has less material, like not having the dial. But by having less, it gives the owner more.
