deepsea Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) I've got some 47mm pams, some 44mm pams, and some 45mm pams and an omega railmaster xxl, with some rolexes (both rep and gen) but nowadays, at least for week. the bigger is better motto is getting uncool, I want a regular size (36-39mm) watch with white or cream dial, with a leather strap... nothing complicated but should go perfect with a business suit.... (even only hour/minute functions are enough...) I'm thinking on regular omega railmaster, but that's with black dial... let me describe the watch I'm looking for: the minute repeater IWC for ~$100 on many dealers... I want a watch like it but with a better movement and better case... what are your suggestions mates? Edited May 18, 2007 by deepsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 One standout to me at least is TTK's Omega Devilles. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Brietling TT version on a leather strap pairs well with a suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Talk about a class act. This one...anytime...anywhere. Suit or no suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi, what about a Vacheron Constantin Overseas ? 42 mm however, but very thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 How about an Omega Aqua Terra with a white dial, and either black or brown strap, depending on the color of your shoes and belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 while they don't do much for me, the iwc fa jones or mark xv seem to fit your description... i would go for an iwc pilot's watch (3717) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drop Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 For relatively good price:quality, I suggest looking at the VC Regulateur and JLC Reserve de Marche. Put on a nice leather strap and you are on your way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about a cartier tank? Thinking of 39 mm as a regular size watch shows your age, at least your watch collecting age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I vote for either 3717 or VC Overseas. Both are 42mm and fit nicely under a shirt sleeve. But my first choice is 3717 with croc strap - very cool and yet business elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Wadan- If I remember correctly I would custom make shirts with enlarged cuff for that IWC vintage. It is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepsea Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 thank you mates... but I think breitling, vc overseas or that IWC... all are very NICE but too SPORTY for me I've found my watch. tempted to get it Vacheron Constantin contemporaine manual winding. the watch that may be seen on the main page of VC. too bad no replica of it for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Great minds think alike. And if you are on an off-the-rack budget do it with Hart Schaffner & Marks Travelor Shirts. Double button cuffs with very large sleeves so you use the inner button on the non-watch wearing hand. Even after 20 trips to the Chinese laundry the 47mm still fits under. Weird hobby - weird people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepsea Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 WOW TTK thanks for the photos... the watch I'm looking for is exactly 61 vacheron constantin. can you PM me, where can I get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 The VC Tourbi is the one I'm dreaming of... But 900 bucks is unaffordable for me, as it is most risky in case of problems. Deepsa, if you want to got to dressy and very classical, why not this one ? 38mm and inexpensive rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
