The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

Good point on the lighter dial, if there was room for a fourth watch it would probably be that.

If I could find one of these for a reasonable price I would consider it "different" enough to own with my sub.

For @George Red - Daytona, gold or platinum Tank (LC, Cintree or Aysmetrique), and Nautilus (you have 2 out of three).

If I were cutting down to a 3 watch collection based on what I have it would be a 16520/16528 Zenith Daytona (in steel or gold), a CPCP Tank LC XL, and a RO Jumbo.

It's that time again, folks. Name your ideal three-watch collection, please (yes, once more, I'm considering consolidating).

These two and maybe my Tangente Sport, I think. Get a gator strap for the Santos or Nomos and they'll do for the limited dress watch needs I have.

Wow. NICE!

All good points. Here's a valid question: Has COVID diminished the need for a dress watch? I haven't been to a wedding in over a year. My tux is collecting dust. When I go to court, I do it by Zoom. Do we need dress watches anymore?

Yes, you will always need some form of dress watch. I know you are in a different state, and maybe you are practicing in a different area of law than I do, however our courts are moving back to having in person hearings and trials.

Perhaps your courts will eventually do the same. You may even be invited to weddings going forward. After not having any weddings to attend for a while, I have a few to attend this fall.

Not to mention, for a nice evening out with the Mrs., where you might at least wear a sport jacket - a dress watch that can be is definitely a must have. Something like Reverso or maybe a commissioned Tank (with a dial color, numerals, and hands to your specs) that one can dress up or dress down. Perhaps you have too many white metal watches. Perhaps something in rose or yellow gold to add a bit of variety in terms of color.

Wise, is what you are. I'm considering a day-date 40. I think that technically qualifies as a "dress watch." Not a bad option, eh?

I love my Shadow that I posted above, but I think if I were shopping new today I would have had a harder choice to make with this available. I've always been fond of the regular tri-color El Primero, but this one speaks to me more.

TAG or maybe sell the Sub (& Tag) at current prices and buy something else, like this

Thank you, I had my eye on shadow as well and then released Safari & this, and I chose this.

Oh yeah, the Safari would have been another wrench in the decision making for sure.
