Still doesn't make it a dress watch. That's just you wearing a tool watch with a suit.
A dress watch has only one purpose to tell time and it needs to be elegant. It shouldn't have complications. It's not necessarily expensive but it may well be.
To be completely honest, I know little about the Grand Seiko. Watched a youtube video on it the other day and thought it's a pretty awesome watch.
@Vausa412 - there's one on our Sales Forum right now.

You have a lot of great suggestions here, and if you're in NYC you're in the watch shopping Mecca of the North East.
Love my Deville such a cool watch and underrated imho.
New Haven? If you like good wine, you should join our CellarTracker group for our BYOB dinners every 2 or 3 months. We often have them in the Hartford area. The next is a month away at Peppercorns.
I’ll throw another vote towards a GS - in particular, the ever popular snowflake 😀
and another GS on the forum

Stop trying to talk sense to the Speedmaster brainwatched. It's like trying to change the mind of a religious fanatic.... no matter how correct you are, and how good you're argument is, you'll always be wrong.
Cartier tank or roadster is a pretty classic, recognizable dress watch. Same with JLC reverso, which I prefer. It's unique. Can find used ones for well below your 8k limit. Nice to break from the round watches and have something with angles for a slim, classy dress watch IMO.
JLC reverso. Love them for dress.
In all seriousness, the thread discussion has already clearly established the Speedy isn’t a dress watch. Mad dog’s post was for entertainment. You’re just stirring the pot to stir the pot.
I don’t have any dress watches [that I know of]...so I wear my modern standard issue Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch on its original band for dress occasions.
