Checked back the record, last watch I purchased for myself was at 2011 and 2013 did get one for my wife, a thanks gift to her when she gave birth to our son. Also been stopped for years due to allocate budget for house, renovation and getting a SUV for family use.
Ok, long story short, it's time that allow me to get a watch for myself now, been browsing for years, finally narrow down what I want.
1. Moonphase - this feature always stay top of my wishlist.
2. Date - already Get used to check date on my watch.
3. Power reserve - a bonus feature if have
4. Sub second - just personal preference, last watch purchased was big second.
5. Suitable for all occasions. Go well with my formal & casual attire.
6. Last one, a 36mm +/- in diameter for my slim wrist.
With above features listed, what watch meet the requirements?
-
Patek Philippe 5055, black dial should meet all of your requirements.
Happy 36th birthday! :thumbsup:
-
Hahaha first suggestion already Patek Philippe.
Hope to get more opinions.

Moser & Cie
it has everything u want except the moonphase
-
JLC MUT has everything that you ask for. Only hitch is,it's a 39mm.
-
Lange 1 moonphase should fit all your criteria, and is at 38.5mm not too far from you requirement.
-
Patek Philippe 5055, black dial should meet all of your requirements.
Happy 36th birthday! :thumbsup:
Wow this is spot on man! I was thinking 5712 until I saw the last requirement.
-
Sorry Patek Philippe 5055 dial too unbalanced.
IWC perpetual calender has all the feature you asked for and more! One of the better value PPC out there.

It looks so good, you'll forget the size of the watch at 44mm... furthermore with current trend now, it's hard to get that size of around 36mm...
Happy 36th!
-
Rolex is obviously out from your list! ;D But if a "born again" simple classic with dual time meet your tastes, then the WG GMT Pepsi! :thumbsup: It costs only the equivalent of a new Honda Accord, if available..
-
How about PP 5035. Still plenty of them around if u dont mind it's used.... or the 5146 with moonphase
-
But the 5035 dosent come with moonphase and power reserve indicator.
-
Wah.... Mostly suggested Patek.
Thanks for the wishes, my birthday at Oct, so do some research first. ;D

We will be waiting until October to see your wrist shot, and organize a GTG just to 'molest' your age-watch case diameter-matching watch :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana:

JLC

I'd suggest AP 15450. Doesn't have a moon phase, though.
-
36mm watches are hard to come by nowadays..
Mostly PP or the classic models from JLC
-
AP ROO diver is a good choice as well.
-
GO panolunar or Breguet Classique Moonphase Power Reserve 36mm ? :)
-
budget?

Not really just purposely go to Rome pick up the watch. Actually the trip was planned earlier.
Went to Venice, Rome and Paris. Since trip is planned so just go to pick up personally and also visit seller shop.
