I'm in the market for a good dress watch. I don't currently have one. My criteria:
1)It must be mechanical (auto or wind) (Won't wear it often enough to want to deal with a dead battery)
2)Simple; Hours, minutes, seconds (Date with or without Day is ok).
3)I prefer Silver case & black leather strap for a dress watch but a bracelet can work in some cases.
I don't think I want to spend big dollars on a watch that won't get worn very often.......<$400. Probably end up with a nice Jacque Lemans or Mido....possibly a Seiko....and possibly a nice condition vintage Omega.
That's what I paid for a used (though in excellent condition) Limes Cartouche last year. I absolutely love the watch, though I replaced the black croc strap it came with, with a reddish-brown strap, which I think looks better and which I think makes the deep blue hands and numbers more noticeable. Great case, too, which doesn't seem to scratch, due to its design.
