exactly this.

If I had not been aware of high end reps, I would have been very happy with the Tissot.
That said, San Martin make really awesome stuff...but not many dressier style and none as full gold plated including bracelet.

Thank you very much! Do you have any recommendations for steel bracelets, jubilee type or otherwise?

You would think that is a possibility but its not. Gerald Genta basically modernized modern watch design in 1970 for AP Royal oak and onwards to Patek Nautilus I 1971. It’s never confirmed that Rolex hired Genta for the 1972/3 OP 1530 but its not unlikely. Genta later designed Rolex Cellini line.

Tissot design their in 1976-ish a bit late in the game.

Tissot PRX "Gérald Genta Design".

I think I’m gonna buy a rep PRX. Can’t bring myself to spend the money on a gen when that money can buy me a modded Daytona lol

I have a 35mm quartz PRX and find it looks better size-wise on my 6.5" than the 39mm AP RO I used to own.

Recommend 35mm all day err day. Small watches are the way

Agreed! I tried the 35mm PRX (auto) and it felt so great on my 6.5” wrist. I just don’t love the quartz dial but I can’t justify the auto price.
