@jmewhpg, the Moonphase Ultra Thin is superb.

I'd also consider the Drive Extra Flat for a day-to-day precious metal watch.

What a beauty. I will check it out. It’s nice to be able to reach out for one of these over a Tank.

Flieger Type A by Wempe.

Wounded it fully but the watch doesn't run. Kind of crazy to ask for 5500eur for it if you ask me. No picture of the movement either...

I would not find it odd as a daily watch even with smart chinos and a shirt. However, one caveat, if it has a tang buckle you may find the strap wears out quicker and even that when it starts to wear out, you baby it too much and don't wear it as often as you otherwise would. If it has a deployant (folding) clasp then it's a breeze and the strap serves a similar purpose to a bracelet as it's always in the rounded position and engaged with the correct pin reducing wear and tear. I know the old Master Ultra Thin pre-moon only came with a tang buckle b/c it's so light and elegant. I don't know how JLC packages the moon version, but if it comes with a tang, you may want to consider paying the additional cost of getting a matching deployant clasp. In gold it can be relatively expensive in its own right.

Even with a deployant I find leather straps wear pretty quick. In ten years of regular but not daily use I’ve been through 5 straps on my Monaco.
