1. Zulu or any crappy nylon strap.
2. Skeleton hands, especially on a divers watch.
4. No size in a sales post, infuriating in a vintage watch.
5. Ham fisted people who mark lugs.
6. People who say marks which will easily polish out.

People who call a watch a time piece...

People who reply to threads like this.
F.T.F.A.
Dogs in general :wink:

People who say happy to f2f in sales post then don't say we're they are!
Cats. Always crapping in my garden.
Pets! Eat, sleep, pee and poo! A bit like people really! :lol:
+1 :lol:
However as i'm here.......................jumble sale items on SC.
Aberrant apostrophes.
The spelling/grammar police!
Butt sniffers... be they dogs or people.
People who post off-topic comments in WT.
(As I've just done, come to think about it.)

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
When my dog farts
Lol :D

One of my pet hates,watchwise,is when people wear a watch loose so it rotates round and round on their wrist.
Second to that is people who wear a watch with the face on the inside of their wrist,ie the wrong way around.
Round date windows.
Too many complications
Moon phase, power reserve, retrograde, skeleton, blah blah blah...
KISS

:mrgreen::lol:
my pet hates having stuff pushed up his bum :roll:
Someone's been watching Jimmy Carr ;)
Pet hate ? The decimal point too many places to the right :(
Stupid crappy nicknames given to watches and colour coded straps!
+1
+1
+, oh, sorrypeople who reply with '+1' when it doesn't make grammatical sense
farqued watches on ebay that "probably just need a service"
wis jargon such as ploprof and speedypro?
Assistants in dealerships who sit the watch on its bracelet (case back touching bracelet) or are careless with it touching hard surfaces like glass cases or tables.
I hate wires.
Watch related: moon phase complications
Non watch related: poor motorway lane discipline
Drivers who under-take me when I'm happily doing 60mph in the middle lane of an empty motorway :mrgreen:
These are my watch forum dislikes (hate is to strong a word):
Photographs of watches next to knives, bullets or guns! (and I love a good weapon as much as the next chap)
and the infamous "pulled the trigger" eg "I've just pulled the trigger on a new XXXXXX"
Yeah that, you squeeze a trigger, you don't pull it. :mrgreen:
Another of mine is ''In the flesh'' when talking about a watch. :roll:
Puts me in mind of Salvador Dali. :mrgreen:

New addition to my hate list:
People who wear watches without setting the time as they see them just as jewellery!
:lol: (I didn't know that this was a pet hate of mine until a few minutes ago!) :P
Now, I'm as easy going as the next man but...
:lol:
It's just a matter of time...
Oh pet hates - cotton wool and screechy black boards - oh and dental work!
With watches;
Dial cut outs that go through the numerals on Chronos.
Multi-date date wheels
Integrated bracelets - i.e. watches that can't go on a nato etc.
I'm sure there are a lot more, as I'm an opinionated bugger.
It's just a matter of time...
1. Incessant gum chewers
2. People who use the word 'literally' incorrectly. eg "OMG I literally died of embarrassment"
2. People who use the word 'ironic' incorrectly. eg Alanis Morissette.
YES!
People who use 'myself' rather than 'I' or 'me' (as the case may be).
An unusual first post - but welcome! :)
Worse that this is people who say "I, myself" as is "I, myself, deserve a good beating for using unnecessary words"
Thats their only redeeming feature. :P

Safe queens or investment watches.
Buy them.
Wear them. ;)

Bracelets without micro-adjustment.
And mice. They've come into the house for the winter :evil: And I'm allergic to cats...

squirrels, cats and dogfood.
Receiving a watch through the post and ending up scrubbing someone elses DNA from it.
Cufflinks !!!
