Help needed for perfect three watch collection one watch missing

[Mr G Imp]

Looking for some opinions - I have here a missing watch, illustrated by a pencil sketch, I would like a real watch to go in the gap there.

Criteria are - known brand, more dressy, prefer no date, think 36mm is probably too small, no dinner plates a tasteful size (8 inch wrist)

Can you help!? Pictures would be nice....

Speedmaster Moonwatch on a black leather strap. My wrist is 7.75 inches & it fits perfectly.

[Berty234]

Depends on budget but some options:

JLC Reverso
Zenith 39mm elite
Nomos Orion
Rolex OP39 or 36

[Onelasttime]

I'd invest in a decent phone/camera first.

[Dave O'Sullivan]

First thought looking at the photo was a moon watch.
Upon reading the criteria though ; Rolex OP 39

A Henry Graves will fit in the middle just nicely there fella.

I had the speedy it was a real handsome piece, it felt a bit weird on leather, I used a hirsch rally maybe that’s why !

Well, grey if I had the choice.

[Greg75]

Some semi-reasonable, great options that come to mind:

—Rolex DateJust 41mm - fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet
—JLC Master Ultra Thin 40mm
—Zenith Heritage Elite Ultra Thin 40mm
—GO Senator Excellence 40mm

You’ve got a beater and a sport watch. You need a white dial dress watch on leather.

LOL

... JLC has to be in the frame ?
I love the geophysic true second watch, just because it’s different, but it has a date.

Pretty much any of the nomos range.

Edit to add.. the g shock doesn’t count anyway, so you can always add a mechanical chronograph as well to make a proper 3 watch collection.

[Piemuncher22]

A nice Aqua Terra should fit the bill.

This looks lovely... not sure if it’s sold or not ?

I think you have to have a number of posts and time served on the forum to view the sales posts - I can wait, I like to do my research and see what’s about and maybe even try some on ! That’s when it’s hard to resist

Agree with this. Never count my G-Shock or non-GS Seikos.

37mm but wears very well. Or, at 40mm

It should be a chronograph if you’re trying to tick as many boxes as possible with three watches. Surely a Daytona is on everyone’s three watch list?

[watchstudent]

Cartier Santos?

Took some finding but seems to be exactly what you’re missing in the first pic

Don't say that, I'm thinking about getting a Hirsch on a deployant clasp as an alternative to the £500 OEM item!

Not mine, I have a Speedy I love as a chronograph. I'd add a Hulk and an IWC Portugieser (did I spell that right). To me the Daytona dial looks unbalanced where the subdials have been placed low down to accommodate the text on the dial. But that's just me.

[mycroft]

I really don’t understand how anyone can offer an opinion here when the OP has given no indication of budget...

Simon

[Siysiy]

even without budget - I reckon an IWC portugueiser in there would be just about right

[JeremyO]

Not mine, I’d buy a Speedy Pro over a Daytona all day long.

No it really isn't...

Siysiy, the OP has shown us a photo of a 2.5 grand Tudor, a childs drawing and a G Shock worth 3 and sixpence - what makes you think a £6,500 IWC would "fit right in"?!

Simon

[Ghost Chilli]

Art classes?



Rolex OP would be my choice if in budget.

The max bill are super cool - I love the black dial one with tan strap and numerals, not too expensive either

OP is most definitely a fine watch ! And the art classes got some booked in for next year hehe

Thinnish dress watch in leather, at whatever point in the price/value mix you’re comfortable.

Ticks a few boxes and quite strikingly beautiful!

[Mr G Imp]

This caught my eye recently - the longines military remake, doesn’t seem available at the moment though.

Your suspicions are correct, I am unlikely to be spending £6500 on the new addition ! Then it might become a two watch collection again.....Although Pre owned watches are always good

Treat yourself for Xmas!

[ColDaspin]

Why worry so much about the brand?

How about Eddie's soon to be released PRS 32? They look gorgeous in the photos and you've got a big wrist that would deal easily with its 16mm thickness. It'd give you variety in terms of being dressier, a white dial and a chronograph. Looks like it's going to cost around a grand so you'd be quids-in compared to most of the stuff mentioned above as well.

[lughugger]

Nope. The Daytona wouldn’t be considered for one second. I’d probably get a Speedy or El Primero.

Fair point Mycroft - Although I own an IWC Portugeiser, I hadnt realised the cost was that much - I figured closer to £4k... and assumed it may be the next step up from the Tudor.

So forget my earlier suggestion.... sorry

This may be worth you looking at....

[Dakar]

I'd also suggest the Everest, cracking looking watch and very reasonable, now in two sizes !

Think they all mean Smiths (brand) PRS-32. Must be a new model, as I have not found a useful link.
