Opinion for a leather dress watch

[prozac51]

I'd like to chip in with 1950's vintage AP or VC too. They look fabulous and can retain good value, if you can find a specimen in great condition.

My 3 suggestions:

1. Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope, unique in it's own right, mesmerising domed crystal with classic looking chrono pushers and clean look. It does wear larger than the prescribed size as the dial extends all the way to the thin bezel, and is versatile as a dress/sports watch.

2. Zenith Elite Ultra Thin - I really do like the thinness of this watch but alas, my wrist size is too big for it to look good on. Likely suits 6.5 inch wrists and under.

3. Tissot Visodate - unpretentious and humble vintage themed dress watch that is priced very decently. It's a great everyday watch, again for wrist-sizes 6.5 inch and under as it wears smaller than it really is. In my opinion, this watch can stay as a guilt-free companion everyday beater to your $4k budget watch.

Staying around $4k plus minus my options will be

1. Omega deville co-axial movt. Not the gigher end 8500 co-axial movt but just as good.

2. Iwc portofino white face.

3. Frederique constant slimline 18k plated and the solid gold.

Frederique constant moonphase looks good!

IWC and Breitling are nice watches in this price bracket. You may also find a nice Rolex with a leather band as well.

My first nice watch was a Baume et Mercier. They have a relatively new collection called Clifton. Got some gold in some models. Should be within budget. If not, Orient Star and Seiko have some nice dress pieces that will definitely be below your budget. You can even buy a few pieces.

I like these 3 brands too, Baume & Mercier, Orient Star and Seiko

Recently looking for a <$300 automatic watch (semi-formal military style or similar), I looked at Orient Star, Seiko, Citizen and Timex.

In the end, I just placed an order for a Timex... my 2nd Timex this year

has OP settle on your watch purchase?

I recently having around the same budget as him, ended up with a Baume et Mercier Classima and a Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope. Love these two watches to death!

Did you check out Sea-Gull? They have a singapore website and a store front. Their military watch might suit you.

Here's the link to the Army Watch No.1 but the prices all seem to be removed.

interesting. Do you know the price range?

Is stuff like citizen cheaper on Amazon?

i've always wanted a vintage audermars piguet. $2-3k. Super slim design, perfect for dress watch suit attire.

[arch2magi]

JLC Reverso is one nice dresswatch

[milo_88]

definitely a IWC portugese chrono (gold) or A lange saxonia!

to me having either one means i can close shop and relax liao

i think a PAM 90 on leather strap will go well
