To end it all, am considering looking for a dress watch in the near future having released my one and only a year back. The thing is I am not disciplined when i go looking for watches and always ended up with a diver time and time again. So I want to narrow down the options so that I do not stray away from the goal. Am looking for the following requirements:-
1. Dial - White or black
2. Complications - not necessary but would consider a PR indicator only
3. Case Size - minimum 42mm steel
4. Price - under RM10,000(please suggest one as close as possible to this)
5. Movement - i prefer an in-house automatic movement but I know it aint easy to find one at that price so am not fussy with it.
Would like to see what the options are with those requirements. Recommend me any well-known brand except maurice lacroix. Nothing wrong with it but I want to try something else. I wish I can have a IWC Portuguese 7 days at that price.
Thanks for any feedbacks.
-
All I can think off now is GS or Nomos
-
I thought of Longines as well but I would like to see other options. GS sounds good but most are above my price range. I dont mind pre-owned though.

if IWC Port 7 days is at rm10k, please let me know as well. hahahaha.
ermmm...fit in certain of your criteria, brand u can consider like Longines, Frederique Constant, Baume Mercier, Mont Blanc, Epos, Junghans (1 of my favourite)
-
FC is a nice one....
I have the open heart in mind....
-
You can consider sinn regulateur, is nice looking watch, fit your budget and yet is 44mm.
-
If u dnt mind getting a preown thn u can consider chopard dress watch packed with caliber 4.96

Seconded, the movement seriously look cool on the case back. Especially the micromotor :thumbsup:
-
only sports watch is equipped with calibre 4.96 and it's variations like th Pro One, Pro One GMT and LUC Sport 2000
The dress watches are equipped with calibre 1.96 with the main difference being the level of finish and a gold rotor

Hahaha, sorry my mistake about it :mooning: Thanks for the correction, nevertheless both are quite beautiful in my opinion :thumbsup:

the Chopard L.U.C is beautiful especially the rotor~ looks like PP watch ;D
but i like their Mille Miglia or Grand Turismo more.
Have you check out Bremont or JeanRichard ?
-
Wah that Chopard really poisonous. But would prefer it in steel. I will look out for Bremont but not into Jeanrichard as am not a fan.

Try the Breitling Transocean (no chronograph) if you are looking for one around 42mm. It's a bit higher than 10k though. If you don't mind something less than 42mm and having an in-house movement and yet less than 10k, I would recommend that you get a nice vintage Omega Seamaster or Constellation Pie-Pan.
-
I would recommend Longines, within your budget. Longines watch was well known with it's long existence, many product lines are with classy outlook & they got pretty stable engines too. Good for dress watch, esp the Master Series.
Just my 2cents.
-
Hmm.. why such a big case for a dress watch?
Perhaps you may want take a look at the Aqua Terra 8500? :thumbsup:

how was your survey of Bremont?
-
only the supermarine models interest me. The dress watches are not my cup of tea. I am looking for a big case because my wrist is big.
-
Preown Rolex Cellini, Omega Constellation, or Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso would be a option :thumbsup:
-
how about Nomos, seiko cocktail , stowa partitio, Frederique constant ?

I don't know others but I tried on Seiko Cocktail (13.1mm thick). Its thickness is about 4 to 8mm more than Cellini, Constellation, Reverso, which make it more difficult to slip underneath the sleeve.
-
Hahahaha. This was started way back in 2012 when I was moving up the tiers and still unsure what to buy. Today, the aim for a dress watch has taken a back seat as I am into sports watches. Having said that, I do own an Omega Constellation and a Seiko Cocktail as suggested. If the occasion arises and the opportunity is there, I would be keen on a Lange 1. In any event, this was a nolstagic trip to my earlier collecting days.

Hi @G.MAC bro .
Your old posted question is still valid today. It's good to let it surfaces. :thumbsup:
-
Still a good read. Perhaps other members can update the thread with their opinion on what a great dress watch would be today? My grail dress watch would be the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin series, like the Moon or Reserve de Marche.
-
Tissot Le Locle, Nomos Ludwig, Frederique Constant Manufacture range, Zenith Elite, Omega DeVille, Rolex Cellini, JLC Master Ultra Thin, Lange 1, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, Patek Philippe Calatrava. Hope this helps.
-
I would suggest a vintage GS in leather strap. Should be less than RM10 k.
-
At a maximum budget of RM10,000.00 today, without the other earlier requirements of the case size, PR indicator and the in-house movement, I would go for either an IWC Portofino Automatic or an Omega Constellation or a Rolex Datejust 1601.
-
the IWC Portofino new watch (available in white dial and black dial)
..is around RM14K.. probably one of the entry level iwc (together with mark 18)

Oh yes. Saw those fancy colour dial Nomos from their website. Personally feel that they are heading to wrong direction.
