What dress watches do you have/recommend?

I have a simple rule when it comes to a dress watch. KISS......Keep it simple stupid. Elegant but simple.

That's actually (part of) the definition for a dress watch. It should be made of precious metal, uncomplicated, and thin. If you search for dress watches, you'll find that words like "elegant", "subtle", and "understated" are frequently used to describe them. Date windows, totalizers, moonphases, even second hands, are not necessary. That being said, I think there are plenty of people who would make an exception for the JLC Master Moon the OP asked about. That's a NFW. If it were 37mm or less instead of 39, I'd own one now - and I have plenty of witnesses to back me up!

My wife certainly thinks so. That watch was fresh out of the box from restoration at Le Sentier when that photo was taken. I haven't seen it much since then, except on her wrist.

JLC does some phenomenal restoration work. You might want to try the "old bait and switch" with her........for the watch!😜

Wait, I've scrolled up and down like 5 times but I didn't see your Speedmaster? Surely this is an accidental exclusion...
