If you have these then please post, if not, then post your wish list.

What watch do you want for a "work" watch and which watch do you want for a
dress" watch?

I love my SS GMT II for work. It is perfect, right down to the red 24 hand.

Now for dress I am debating the Yachtmaster or Sea Dweller, yes they are work watches too according to Rolex, but I have my own list. In reality I will probably get the TT GMTII Anniversary as a dress watch. I love having the additional time zone and will probably miss it if I change.

C.J. · 20 September 2006, 12:13 PM

Wish List
For work a Jaeger LeCoultre Extreme World chronograph and for dress an A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 moonphase.

Now, if for some reason my plans on hitting the lottery don't work out. My Sub for work and a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Geographic for dress.

The JLC Geo is on the wish list too

Fortunately I work in a "business casual" environment. ( very loose rules, shirt must have buttons & a collar, dress pants & shoes)
So, any of my collection, including the Swatch's work.
BUT, I prefer the Pannies for a couple of reasons.
I must track my time in order to bill clients. So a nice big, easy to read dial works perfect.

I also, very rarely , need to dress to the nines. But either my Rolex SS Sub or the Radiomir fit this bill.
If I need to have gold accents, I do have an old Cartier that works as a dress watch.

Uncle-AJ · 20 September 2006, 12:16 PM

For work I wear a Glycine Combat Automatic and usually for dress watch a Cartier Santos. circa 1976.

Rockrolex · 20 September 2006, 12:46 PM

For work, it's this

or this

or sometimes (rarely) this

or even more rarely, this

For dress, it will be one of these

or this

and for real dress, this

Gedanken · 20 September 2006, 12:48 PM

Hmm. For me the distinction isn't so clear especially since I'm in an office environment all day, but generally it's the SD for the work watch, the DJ for dress and the Tudor for dreaded casual Fridays.

ROLEX4EvEr · 20 September 2006, 12:57 PM

Work: A Bretiling or any Sub/GMT/Yachet/
Dress: DD Diamond out (of course)
Play : My DJ or Franck Muller!

TTDJ with black dial...all the time. My SD is still sitting here. I have talked about selling it in the past...it's still here, but getting no wrist time

RogerF · 20 September 2006, 05:25 PM

This is the best dress watch ever

For work and everyday purposes

Roger, what's the vintage of your Dad's DJ? Mine is a 1983.

madformac · 21 September 2006, 11:30 PM

I tend to wear one watch regardless. So I try to go with something tough and durable but that will work equally well with Levis and Gap as much as Boss and Brioni.

So my Panerai is the main watch right now with my Exp II as backup.

padi56 · 22 September 2006, 12:16 AM

I wear what ever I choose wear,brand,type of watch,don't really matter to me.And what, and who dictates, what a dress/work watch is today.If Mr James Bond can wear a Sub dressed in a dinner suite,Tux to those across the pond.Then a Sub is perfectly home in the wet stuff, as it is a dress watch.

22 September 2006, 12:19 AM

On my Panerai I'll wear a calf strap for just about all occasions.

On occasions when I wear a suit, I put on the black alligator strap.
