fkhill33 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, I have a (very) small collection of gen and rep watches at the moment. Speedy Pro, speedy date, IWC GST Ti, FM Conquistador. I have had a 40mm PAM and Rolex EXPII in the past. As you can see, they are mainly sporty, chrono type watches. I thought the FM would dress up my collection a bit but it is way too bling, not that it is a bad thing. I love it to death but I want a dressy alternative! Now I am looking for a nice dressy watch, something classy but will not draw too much attendion under a suit, something on leather... I was thinking PAM183 or a rose gold FA Jones BUT are they too big for me? I have a 6.5" wrist. So what do you guys think? Whats dressy watch do you wear? Entertain me! =) Cheers everyone.

Birdman Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I got the Rolex Cellini from Joshua and put a Hadley Roma Singray band on it. This is a great dressy watch. Birdman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Or again, this: http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php...products_id=573 Nothing more elegant and understated than a Calatrava. Other dealers offer an 'Officer's' Calatrava model which is also lovely. Very much like this: http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php...products_id=253 For the price, you can always have it replated in thick micron yellow or rose gold. The case will probably even take a Swiss ETA if you want to upgrade.

ubiquitous Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) I'm not a huge FM fan, but I think Eddie's solid gold 2892 Casablanca is a beauty! Edited June 21, 2006 by ubiquitous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I like EL's Patek 3919 since it has a closed back like the gen. Probably want to put a new strap on it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) Being an Omega fan, I would recommend two-tone Constellation; Aqua Terra or De Ville. Or chuck the lot out the window and get a PAM187..........! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Edited June 21, 2006 by Chronus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipop Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Breguet Classique? Chopard Eszeha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thats for everyones' posts, certainly added some ideas to my head. Some of the recommended watches are just a little too old/classic looking for me, I am 23. I quite like the gold FM actually, can any body add any comments on the accuracy of this piece? Is the blue hands an instand giveaway? Also, surprising that no one is backing the FA Jones or the 183? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehtolcad Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 if you don't want to go too far to the deep end i'd say the following tt santos 100 (never fails to catch eyes and compliments) 183/231 (radiomir is pure class) overseas (sporty, yet refined) jlc rdm (more like a patek but a bit more believeable) montbrillant on strap (think about it, it's amazing) ap ro (too bad there aren't too many good reps of this line) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubFrog Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Almost any Patek would be my suggestion. Always nice and dressy. Especially the 5053: Edited June 22, 2006 by SubFrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossanti Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have the 183 as my dress watch and also 163... so go for 183H with swan neck would be awesome .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I don't want to offend anyone, but I think the Petaks are too old looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Being 23, I wouldn't recommend a watch too expensive, unless your a very well off 23 and can pull it off fine. Pateks are nice, but I think too 'classic' looking for even me (at 45). The FMs are very nice, but the solid gold will be at least a $10-20k watch, maybe one in stainless steel would suit. I think the Santos TT would suit and so would a nice SS JLC dress... or a nice ss radiomir would be very nice under the cuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) I don't want to offend anyone, but I think the Petaks are too old looking. Agree. Get an Omega Railmaster (i think i'll complete my purchase very soon ) Edited June 22, 2006 by ryaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanerich Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Personally I think the Explorer I pretty much works for any occasion. At 36mm it's certainly understated and dressy by modern standards. I have the TT Santos 100 rep and wouldn't really recommend it . . . it's very blingy and will probably distract your coworkers and clients and the cheap ass strap is hard to replace. I almost never wear it although I like the quality of the piece. Just my 2 cents . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 To add to all the great choices, this is one very nice JLC from super quick EL, http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e186/300...rrent=jlc01.jpg http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e186/300...rrent=jlc02.jpg Uncommon, very elegant and I belive with an ETA movement.
