mint with box & papers.
I bet this one will please a lot, WIS recognise the watch without problems and it holds it's value unlike Rolex Day-Date.
Best, Kari
A lot...

a) It has to be a statement and recognisable I don't know and neither i don't care what is statement and recognisable, i cannot answer on this point. b) To be usable in all business settings (suits) Any ultra thin watch is usable in suits, there is a very...

Own the first two of your list already...very nice watches but a bit sporty for a business / suit setting (and so is the submariner). Of course everything can work with every outfit but I think that the dd is more elegant and more of a statement. Oh well ...
I've to disagree...

If we talk from the point of view of the so called "dress code" the royal oak 15202 is a more elegant wristwatch than any other DD because of its low profile of case and bracelet which makes it to hide under the (possibly tight) cuff of the sleeve like th...

That the 324 is not the best of the automatic movements ever made, as they are the 2121 in the AP 15202 or the 240 in the 5712. But still remains a far better movement than the really cheap one in a day date. It shoud be sufficient compare the thickness o...

looking for an argument but I am not. My question / survey was precisely to see what else people would buy with this budget. I love to hear about other people choices and I am genuinely curious on what makes a certain watch special to some. I am well awar...
