Oh, I'm very sorry. I never meant to even hint that you were wrong. We differ in opinion,that's all.
Out of curiosity, you don't consider any one+ of your more dressy than others? The start of this thread was why dress watches weren't given more play. Yet, we haven't covered exactly what makes a dress watch.
You said, and OG agreed, that you both wear dress watches a big percentage of the time. What I'm trying to figure out is: what do the 2 of you, and others, consider "dress".
You and he and Ken, plus who knows how many others here, have much larger collections than I but, out of all you do have, which, in your opinion makes your dress ones "dress".
Okay, will stop now because my head's spinning at this point, and I very well may be repeating myself. .........:)

You may not agree with me, but that does not make me wrong. I got paid to think out side of the box in the watch industry, and have been fortunate enough to retire because of my forward thinking beliefs and not being tied to a rigid belief system, and listening to others tell me that it could not be done.

Okay, let's try this a different way.
For me personally, a dress watch is 14K gold, 18K if possible. I want neither complications nor bling......can't stand bling. The preferred hands are Bruguet in style.
It must have a bracelet, no strap--don't care what exotic it could be. Too, the dial must be white and on the smaller size--20-25mm, w/crown.
For most women, I think, the question of fitting nicely/comfortably under a sleeve is not applicable as it must be for a man.
I think I've covered it all. I wish more of us would get in on this. I do not agree with eavery's: it is what the person who wears it feels about it and how it makes them feel. My old, old Stuhrling bubble copies are NOT dress, imho, nor are my new Explorer, Pilot, nor even my gorgeous Elysee Penelope. I really think the appearance of the piece makes a big difference.
