Thank you, cnmark, for your analysis. I agree 100% about the RT, but unless I sell a couple of watches, it is out of my budget for now.
Why couldn't one of the bracelets be replaced with a dressy black strap and then be considered a dress watch? The silver dial Titoni would look striking, I think, on a strap and the case is just 36mm (excluding crown). I do not know the thickness, but if you see the photo below, you can see that it is not very thick. I think it qualifies as a "dress watch." Or is the dial still too busy to be considered a dress watch? Who decides what a "dress watch" is anyway? What do others think?
(This is so much fun that I almost don't want to make a decision! Capisci?)
Considering a change to a strap - and the fact that the RT is out of budget:
Out of the original short list the Orient #6 with white dial in plain stainless, no duotone. Feeling a bit provocative today: The lugs and the barely matching endlinks of these bracelets actually suggest that these watches have been designed to be worn on a strap.
And the gold tone #7 Titoni Airmaster II is really worth a consideration. "In flesh" the gold tone of the Titoni is much better (warmer) than the greenish cast it has on the picture from Capitamall. Looks like that shot was done under neon light.
