I'd offer you a glass of good XO (or better) cognac for your endured discomfort
The (slow) Hunt: Time-only automatic dress watch in WG
One thing I appreciate about PuristSPro is how it has allowed me to interact with so many watch lovers (and their awesome collections), and how this in turn has refined my personal tastes and preferences in timepieces. I've been looking for a time-only (w...
+1 for the LUC XPS
A truly lovely watch, with excellent finishing and a fairly good value, too.
+2 for the LUC XPS. Incredible watch
The black dial and WG combo is especially fetching.
Plus you get the 65 hour power reserve in the LUC
Take it off on Friday and it\'s still going strong on Monday morning
JLC Master Ultra Thin Small Second?
Here is the watch on JLC's website: 1278420 38.5mm is a nice dress watch size. And it's an automatic. But..., it's in SS. Ah, sorry. I got it wrong.
I wish they would make a WG version
Of the Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds. Maybe something along the design codes of the Master Ultra Thin Calendar in WG=) Picture from JLC official website ...
What about this one?
Omega\'s Constellation Globemaster Platinum 39 mm Co-axial self winding movement. Time only. Meets almost al your demands. Über cool watch and not your usual suspect. ...
If you get one, persuade the AD . . .
. . . to throw in an extra strap. That's platinum stitching, or so I'm told.
Not pt stitching?! . . .
. . . either my memory is playing tricks, or I've been duped by an employee of Omega . . .
Phew! My confidence in Omega's boutique staff . . .
. . . and my memory has been restored ;-) . . .
It is indeed wonderful!
Unfortunately, my tiny wrist cannot handle its dimensions (46.8mm x 27.4mm) and it would be nice to be able to see the movement. I can appreciate though, how others might prefer an engraving on the verso side=)
Breguet Classique
This 5140 would also fit the bill and is a very nice watch on the wrist too. ...
The guilloche dial is exquisite!
I would very much like to admire the movement though. From what I can recall, I think this has a solid caseback=)
Some Chopard choices
J.Sim1984, Of course, I'm biased but here are a few ideas. Dress watches are about simplification, elegance and thinness. The 'perfect' dress watch is still about compromise..... You wanted a white gold extra-flat dress watch. One of the best is this L.U....
Very fitting: a LUC next to a beekeeping centre!
Well played sir, well played indeed!
Excellent suggestion!
And since this year is the 50th anniversary, who knows what they might come up with?=)
