 Thank you for this.  You, as with me, have very specific things in mind for what constitutes a dress watch.

The other 3 or 4 who've been in on this discussion appear to be of the opinion that what is dressy in the eye of the wearer is what counts; the particular style makes no real difference.  I had never thought of that and found it interesting.

However, most women who do wear watches do, I believe, find gems and/or gold = dressy. Anything else falls into the casual, everyday category.

My idea of a dress watch is basically simple and reasonably thin.  I'm thinking less than 10mm. Generally no sweep second hand (although I prefer one). Rich looking black or dark brown leather strap.  Gold, platinum or even silver but no rose gold. No complications other than date. Definitely, no chronographs. No digital. I don't have anything that I would consider a dress watch but I have been thinking about adding one to my meager collection.
