The Ultimate Replica Dress Watch Guide

[Nick1980]

Should there be? Are there other watches to add to the list? If so, please let me know

To be added:

1. Frank Mueller Long Island
2. Frank Mueller Casablanca (Possible)
3. Longines - Master Moonphase (Possible)

And there're some PAMs, which are quite thin and could be used as dress watches: 292, 622, 380 and so on.

Fair enough, will do some research and add the requested items.

The Guide has now been updated to include:

1) FM - Casablanca
2) Longines Master Moonphase
3) PAM 380
4) PAM 292

These have been updated as per request. I am not putting the 622 on there because even though it is a thin watch, at 47mm it is hardly a dress watch. While i am sure we have members with 8.5" + wrists who can pull this off as a dress watch, to the rest of us it just wont go that well. Just my opinion ofcourse. I have the watch, so if people really want me to include it i will.

I think a dress watch is subjective, I personally like a watch in the 34-38mm range , a vintage gold cased omega or longines on a croc would be my choice to pair with formal wear. I couldn't wear a PAM or a diver watch but that's just me

Don't even think to open ALE's PAM Guide then ). It'll be much more hard to resist ).

 

[Mehaha]

What a list! Thanks dud, excellent effort!

Great post, definitely handy when looking for another watch to narrow the choices.

Personally I think this is a watch I could wear as a dress watch. http://www.puretime.watch/category/alain-silberstein/

42mm and probably my favourite panerai.

Omega's de ville tresor is a beautiful dress watch as well :laugh:

What are the criteria for including a watch in this review (other than being dressy)? Is it that the watch needs to have received a decent review? If so, I'd still love to see a list of watches that have not been reviewed but that can still be considered dressy. As someone new to watches I find myself looking through hundreds of pictures to find nice dress watches!

I'd define a dress watch as having a leather strap as standard with a smaller, minimal dial.

The PAM above is a beauty but not certain RE a 42mm with a suit.

 

[Snoochers]

I agree. I am not so concerned about how to define a dressy watch, but rather how the decision is made about which dressy watches are included in this review

 

[highlander]

great list, i'm thinking my next will be a dress, like the PAM 380 very much.

 

[Ruski91]

There is no real criteria here guys, hell i wear 44 and 47mm pams with dress shirts and ties all week long, but i know that this isnt a popular opinion so that being said - i just figured there have been so many threads started about dress watches that i would try my best to consolidate some of the better ones out there all in one place for everyone to see. I am sure i could work on this thing daily and still miss great pieces.

One of which will certainly be added soon - Newly released IWC 5007 (Really the 5001). This new release from two different makers is getting quite the buz in the IWC section and i hope to own one soon myself.

I am certainly not bringing into question what you call a dress watch and in fact I completely agree with your selection! What I do mean, is how do you chose specific dress watches to included in this thread? Are these watches that have been well reviewed? I noticed they all had reviews, so that was my natural assumption.

Also, I'll just ask straight up: Do you know of any good dressy reps that are 10mm thick or less? I am having a hell of a time finding any... I noticed the JLC Reserve the Marche and the Nomos you listed are both around 10mm, but I can't find many others...
