Calibre 16 Day Date

[zeta]

So, I pulled the trigger today on the Calibre 36 SS/SS.

 

Now, I want to buy something a bit more formal with a leather strap and I have my eyes on the Calibre 16 Day Date.

 

I am thinking of the black dial and bezel 

TAG0035SWB 

 

or brown dial/bezel

TAG0035SWF

 

Both are the same prices. I asked Andrew and he says the black is much nicer than the brown. But im kind of leaning over towards the brown.

 

There is a titanium version with black dial/bezel which is $40 more expensive but I do not like the titanium casing which is not shiny. However, the details say it has engineering bridges. Can anyone tell me what that is?

 

Sorry, I'm not allowed to post the links.

 

I hope I can get good advices from people who are more knowledgeable than I am.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you want something a little dressier I would go with a Calibre 16 Carrera - Date only. The day date is a very sporty watch and a little on the large size while the smaller date only Carrera's are a more classic 41mm. There is a large selection of these models available and they are very well repped, perhaps not as a good as the Day-Date though. The Day Date is a fantastic watch though and looks great, even if it is a little sporty. I would have to agree with Andrew, the black is definitely the way to go and I would avoid the titanium model as it is even more sporty and less suitable as a dress watch.

 

Here is mine.

The black ceramic Formula one with the diamond bezel is almost perfect. definitely recommend this for the wife, mine wears hers more than any other watch.
