zeta Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 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.

icoopernicus Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
