[beerope]

Not that I will consider....

not for me...

As in, it's not a good design? Or it's not a dress watch?

[kingsfall]

[rayong]

From my understanding a dress watch should have the following qualities, pls correct me if I am wrong all the kor kors here.

-Simple and clean looking
-Analogue
-Slim not bulky, wore on leather strap
-No funky dials like chronograph etc

Eg : Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5096

As above, I propose our 1st gathering to be on 29 Mar, Sat afternoon. Probably 1pm-ish till late noon so evening onwards can accompany family, gf, friends, etc.

Venue: Open to suggestions. Somewhere affordable, comfortable, indoors where we can meet away from prying eyes.

Objective: To put a face to our nicks/facilitate watch discussion/share lobangs on watches or otherwise/hands holding, networking, etc.

Anyone in this thread is invited and encouraged to join, regardless what kind of watch you are wearing. I think we generally don't ostracize the brand, type, etc.

Will start a new thread to facilitate discussions once the gathering is confirmed with a healthy number of participants so it doesn't get overwhelmed by the crazy number of posts update daily.

Add your nicks to your list if you are able to make it.

1. Paladium
2. Henabi
3. Aerolord
4. All in a Day
5. Yattokame
6. Pew
7.
8.

My agenda
1) will bring snacks from Japan to share. Tokyo banana is out - short shelf life.
2) those of you who promised to hold my hand better make true your promise. LOL
3) will bring most of my watches as well as magazines and stuff.

Even if the cafe does not chase us out because of (1), they probably will due to (2)

Hi guys, I am recently into watch also. Been only viewing and enjoying all your fantastic collection. Will really love to see them in real life also. Will like to join you guys.

Is this considered a dress watch? Will it look weird as a daily beater? Like wearing with short sleeve t shirt?

Can't think of any tag that will qualify as a dress watch, in the strictest sense.

On this particular piece, IMHO it is a sport/race car inspired watch from the styling and detailing and won't be a dress watch even by a liberal standard.

depends on you bah... and how strict you are when it comes to classifying a watch as "Dress watch"

I know those in the forum who are really into watches will not see this TH carrera as a dress watch.

Wait... I screenshot and BBM her.

bro, u sure u didn't meant "My wife looks very sexy whilst wearing ONLY her Pam 219".

No offence hor!

Actually I think its more your own comfort level and what kind of dressing you pair your watch with. I have a very small wrist - 6.5 inches and I am now used to wearing 44mm watches. Anything below 42mm I will feel its too small.

However, I also have larger watches which I must admit, is worn to attract attention and its also a great conversation piece, like this 57.7mm piece -

The watch also ticks pretty loud ... like a bomb waiting to go off!

However, in casual dressing, I feel quite confident wearing this.

This pilot watch is chio

yup, xmm.

learning well, learning fast!

to add, the simpler, the better for a classic dress watch. 2 hands even better (to signal that your sedate pace is better off without a seconds hand), although complications & ultra-complications like annual calenders, perpetual calenders, minute repeaters with moonphase, etc do have a place on the wrists of the atas, ultra, uber wealthy elite. (you know who YOU are! heheh...)
