·Hello All.
I sold my small collection of Rolexes a couple of years ago, because I was becoming frustrated with the explosion in popularity of the brand. Also, I predicted that the value of them would fall so, if I was going to sell, that was the time to do it.
I bought a couple of JLCs as dress watches, and they do that job very well on their leather straps. I really like them.
The problem is, I now don't have a steel sports watch to wear on the beach / to the gym / for casual. Over the summer, I nearly trashed the ostrich skin strap on one of the JLCs by getting sweat and sun cream on it. I need something I can run under the tap and wipe off with a cloth.
IDEALLY I would like a vintage or neo-vintage bracelet watch that is to some degree water resistant. I won't be diving the Titanic in it, but I'll wear it in the pool.
Watches I have considered so far:
37mm JLC Memovox (not sure about the alarm complication though).
Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six on a bracelet (seems to tick a lot of boxes).
AP Royal Oak (But try as I might I still can't love that 70s vibe).
Patek Nautilus (even if I saved for one, again that 70s vibe...).
37mm JLC Master Control on bracelet (I have one on a strap already though).
Omega Moon Watch (more functionality than I need).
Zenith Defy (still a bit 70s isn't it...)
Any options that I may have overlooked?
