Dress watch…Rolex Cellini style

logie101

Hi,

Im not that knowledgeable about watches but I have several “designer” modern watches from Tag Heuer and Brietling. All are quiet big and whenever I put on a suit or black Tie I feel they are too big.

I’m looking for a classic slimline watch. Something like a Rolex Cellini but maybe not the price.

Budget is up to €3,000.

Any ideas?

Tudor have loads, Glamour, Prince, DayDate etc
They look a bit girly but may fit the bill

Somebody posted a nice Tissot here recently with a fancy bezel, for about a grand

How about the Aqua Terra from Omega which is the other cliché choice?

18k Omega Constellation (pie pan) from the 1950s.

Good, but the major problem would be that they're small by today's standards.

Aqua Terra is very nice.

Longines heritage or master range would be worth a look

The Heritage range is definitely the style I’m looking for. Thanks

Hi,

I have a Tissot Ballade, COSC certified, 80 hour power reserve, that's too dressy for me. If you just want something to wear with a suit it would be ideal. And I'm not looking for big money :-)

bbbbb

something in the hamilton jazzmaster range?

Cienciano

What about something like this

With a budget of 3K and looking for something dressy, how about a Grand Seiko?

I would go for a IWC Portofino like here https://www.chrono24.co.uk/iwc/portofino-automatic-iw3565--id17497316.htm

Interesting. Is it safe to purchase from sites such as that one?

Oh yeah Chrono is safe enough, they have a escrow service and the trusted dealers are always good. IWC is a good brand and they make tasty watches...I must get one at some point.

Don’t know if there is any price movement with Ichrono , it’s well overpriced if not but you could at least try it on before you buy

There are some fine Seiko in the Presage range if you don't fancy stretching to a Grand Seiko
