My wedding ring is platinum, so any casing other than white gold or stainless doesn't work for me. I highly prefer brown straps and stainless to black, so that is somewhat limiting. These are some I like a lot though, in no order:

I love the classic Cartier face, and I love the shape of the Roadster. For my arm, the large size is a little big, the midsize a little small. I'm also a lefty, so the winder might be irritating as it's very large.

Not a huge Panerai fan, but this one is nice. Probably the only watch I've seen where a brown strap and black face look good.

Clean lines, easy to dress up and down.

Please make me happy and show me a bunch of old Connies.

Omegablogger, do you know where I could get that gold Omega logo on the dial? I have an 18kt vintage Omega Tresor model that has it missing. My favorite Constellation are the Luxe models with the hooded lugs:

Yes it's my name. I was on the "blackOPS PAM" project since its inception.

I believe RGM Watches in Mt. Joy (Lancaster) PA could remedy that for you. They're not cheap though.
