Hey Joe....that's what the forum is all about. Start a thread like this and lets talk. Lot's of guys with dress watches. I need to take a pic of a nice one I just got in. Yes I think size is and issue, but more than that the Sport watch has become the norm....a watch that can take a beating, is WR etc.

Post up some pics everyone:)

It's winter and I have the same question every time I can't get my sleeve buttoned around the current style over sized watches. I find myself reaching for one of my vintage watches or one of the d.freemonts in my avatar at such moments. Why does it seem that every one wants to be a faux diver when the closest they get to water is washing their hands after a break?

1) 'cause I don't wear suits anymore.

2) 'cause I live in a warm climate and wear mostly short sleevs.

3) 'cause most thin watches are quartz......

HOWEVER,

I do have a few that I consider "dress" .....

Trias Cushion Case...



Rolex GMT Master II



ZENO Explorer



Jacque Lemans



Movado Kingmatic Chronograph



Seiko Spirit Diashock



Stovard-Jurgensen



Gevril GV2



Invicta 2015 (pic by Oscar)

I have some dress watches which I wear sporadically but I do find myself going for something sportier usually. And like Ken, I rarely wear long sleeves even in the cold of Winter. You remember WR necessarily should negate dress status though. My Stowa Marine LE is good size at about 42mm but I would still its dress... of course it's not really a big watch these days...toon1.gif

Got a commander too, but its not as pretty as JD's.

Probably having nothing to do with this topic, IMHO the thinner, dress watches are usually handsome and sexy as hell.  happy1.gif

Have never seen beauty in the chronos or other beaters.

Shall now depart before you start yelling at moi.  :D

I'm in the market for a good dress watch. I don't currently have one. My criteria:

1)It must be mechanical (auto or wind) (Won't wear it often enough to want to deal with a dead battery)
2)Simple; Hours, minutes, seconds (Date with or without Day is ok).
3)I prefer Silver case & black leather strap for a dress watch but a bracelet can work in some cases.

I don't think I want to spend big dollars on a watch that won't get worn very often.......<$400. Probably end up with a nice Jacque Lemans or Mido....possibly a Seiko....and possibly a nice condition vintage Omega.

That's what I paid for a used (though in excellent condition) Limes Cartouche last year.  I absolutely love the watch, though I replaced the black croc strap it came with, with a reddish-brown strap, which I think looks better and which I think makes the deep blue hands and numbers more noticeable.  Great case, too, which doesn't seem to scratch, due to its design.

dfreemont, or Jean Marcel is a good choice in my opinion.
