When you see a watch for the first time, what feature attracts you to that watch, those long lugs? A beautiful face? those delicate hands?

 

[Ottovonn]

Big crowns. Oh yeah.

 

[Victor Cruz]

A pretty face, then the back side...we're talking watches, right?

 

[Domo]

A gorgeous face and a long, slinky bracelet......and preferably Japanese. I always did have a thing for Japanese beauties ;-)

 

[Tiger-rider]

Used to be the face, but now the legs... No, I mean the hands.

Reminds me old joke.

'What attracts you to me: my beautiul face or my pefect body? -
"Your sense of humor, darling."

A nice flat bezel, nice hour markings, a 4 oclock crown, nice hands and dial, and a chunky case, all things i look at first on a divers.

What you have faceted eyes like a fly???? Whats first?

He's got that wandering eye.

Dial has got to be the first thing I look at. Next is probably case shape.

 

[*El Ocho 1*]

yeah, dial is the 1st thing I notice. Then probably case shape & bracelet (if on a bracelet)

 

[Quake1028]

Dial for me.

The forest. Then I look at the trees. I'm not going to go into a dead forest, even if it's got a gold mine deep inside if I dig enough.

The date window, always. It the equivalent of clubbed thumbs - if something ain't right about it, I just walk away.

So I guess my vote goes to "the dial".

 

[drickster]

nah, that would be other. I actually thought about date window and crown/pushers but decided against em

I'm unashamedly a dial man.

 

[summerpurchase]

First thing I notice within milliseconds is the type of band - and at about the same time - the color of the case/band....within about 3 seconds then my eye begins to pick up details on complication

If we're talking about passing views of pieces in the wild.

Case shape and overall aesthetics

I search for watch based on functionality first, then I seem to buy whatever Amazon
suggests that fails to meet all functionality requirements... causing me to have to buy
another one... and the cycle repeats.

Is it a cop-out to say the harmony of the total package? And then I look at the individual things you mentioned, case design/shape (lack of visible crown guards has been something I find myself favoring recently), dial (the presence and absence of complications and/or blemishes), and then the hands. If I had to pick one above all else, it's the dial.
