Hey MWF,

I am currently looking for another pair of watch with classic dressing.

Can you guys recommend me where and which model to get please.

and of course the price range. I'm not too sure with the prices for classic dress watch so I dunno what my budget should be.

What's your budget?
Below 10K?, below 20K, below 100K?

This may give you some clue.

Anything by Vacheron Constantin

For a budget watch, i think a Tissot Visodate is nice... simple, elegant..
For mid class, i actually kinda like the Maurice Pontos Date-Day...
For high class, no idea xP

Actually I'm into the Patek Philippe Calatrava.

But obviously it is out of my budget so I'm looking for something similar.

My budget for now is 4k to 5k.

Chrono or non chrono?

Longines makes very nice dress watches, especially the master collection:

I like this one:

L2.673.4.78.3
Automatic Chronograph Moonphase!

Piaget Altiplano

How much is the longines?

hmmmm, what I want isn't chrono.

STT1987 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2012, 12:42:32 PM »

They do have very simple 3 hand (with date) watches in the master collection.

L2.665.4.78.3

I think it's over your budget unfortunately, unless you can find one on the second hand market.

I think for your budget, Tissot is the best.

saru04 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2012, 12:44:39 PM »

actually I don't mind if its second hand.

I just want something like that with a size of 36 - 37mm.

actually, it should be called finger winding as the fingers are used to wind the crown, not the whole hand.

normally, hand winding means the watch needs to be manually wound to keep up the power reserve. there is no automatic winding system inside.

p/s. if you are really asking about hand windling, does that refer to some teenage private pastime??

There are a couples of mid range swiss watches such as Epos, Frederic Constant, Mido which make affordable and elegant dress watch. Do check them out. They have quite a good range for you to try.

saru04 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2012, 02:29:14 AM »

sorry was too into the design that I didn't notice where its from.

Is there anyone in this forum or anywhere to get Junghans?

and is Steinhart watches good?

Need some reviews or experience.

Their design seems okay for the marine watch "marine 38".

And as for the design for the watch, I'm looking for something like:

But obviously the one in the picture is totally out of my range. Haha.
