Icon5 Help me with a dress watch please!

I am looking for a watch to wear with a suit and although I have been wearing my 312 on a gator, I do not think it screams 'dress watch'

I have been looking at the Pam 190, 232 and 268, but until now I could never get myself to pull the trigger on a Radiomir (my other Pams are divers, but somehow I don't think a 194 will look great with a suit)

So Guys, what are your thoughts: 232, 190, 268 or maybe something else??

Any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated!

Cheers and beers from Utah

Wait for the new Radomir 42mm in Ti w/ gold hands to come out. Put that on a croc and you're good to go.

Johann,

So good to hear from you! I've owned the 190 and have kicked myself many times for selling it. It is absolutely fantastic and has an incredible wrist presence. It's ability to fit comfortably under the shirt sleeve and also be worn casually makes it unique. I'll probably add it again down the road...

190 is a grail of mine. 232 is sweet too. Take a look at the 210. Very dressy on a gator.

It's a great one, my friend. I would say that it has been getting more wrist time that all the others.
