The J-Springs Automatic diver I bought for my brother last Christmas has gone over well. He wears it religiously, and has grown found of automatic movements. That said, he has come to me asking about purchasing a second watch for his collection. This time he wants a "dressy" style watch for high level meetings with his customers. He's given me the following criteria; 1. $500 or under 2. Non-circular case. In other words any shape but round. 3. Thinner than his J-Springs diver to allow a better fit beneath his shirt sleeves 4. Must have a bracelet. 5. No skeleton watches 6. Automatic movement Any thoughts? I've narrowed down a few Orients for him to review, but am I missing any others? Thanks 3T!

I think you can suggest Ball or Zeno to your brother. They have some entry models that will fit his price points.;)

Vostok Europe has some square ones, Invicta probably does too though I personally don't pay much attention to them. Alpha has some square ones too or, he could go vintage.

I think, strictly speaking, a dress watch should be found on a strap, preferably an exotic. I think you have a good thing going with the Orients, and I like the CWs shown, but if you can dig one of these up I think its a great watch for a little dough.

IWI has some models that will suit you.. The 2824 powered marine diver is under 500$ and to add a bracelet would still fall under..pictured is my UNITAS driven one

Makes wearing a MONGO watch a non-issue...:dude:
