Some great looking watches in this thread - I definitely need to learn more about UG Monodatics.

This straight lug RG Polerouter Deluxe Ref 10234-2 is one of my go-to dress watches. Sadly, with WFH over the past 10 months, I haven’t worn it enough recently as I haven’t had need to wear a suit in close to a year.


I feel the same - there are several watches of mine that don't get much (any) wrist time because they are better suited for business wardrobe versus my WFH casual wear. I suppose no one is stopping me from throwing on a suit at home 😉

Very nice thread 👍

Usually I would say the Mono, but for the dress UG I choose a time only. Here is my contribution.

Wow the dial on the dress watch choice is so unique and different, awesome! Same as your gf, I choose my tri as my dress.. if I can just find the right alligator strap, one day!

Of the many UG that have passed through my hands, this Triple Date Moonphase is currently my favorite dress watch. With the dress watch category, it's obviously a chance to go for more flair and less practical, which is fun. Not worried about waterproof or a design that is less likely something I would choose to wear often.

The things I like about it are:

1) exotic case style
2) rose gold
3) two tone dial
4) art deco numbers, in foil, with deep copper color

For me, these work together to form a perfect dress watch. I only have one slight issue, at 34.5mm this is the smallest watch in my rotation. It works just fine for a dress watch, but I would love to have this exact style in 36-37mm case for a few weeks to compare and see which I prefer. On paper I like the bigger size, but who knows, in person, might prefer the smaller one.

The two tone dial and foil numbers are hard to catch in the light.......



It's in good overall condition, I like that the moonphase disc still has most of it's blue paint, which is a nice contrast to the rose gold case.

You can see this exact watch in the UG advert below. To date I have seen other examples in different color combinations, but never another one in this exact configuration. I hope there are more out there !



If I were to pick a second favorite, it would probably be this 14K yellow gold Tri. It was in my hands for about 5 minutes before my gf grabbed it for keeps 😉



You can see the color difference between the 18K rose and the 14K yellow here, although the color is more pronounced in person.


I think the combo with the vintage Fostner band was what really grabbed my gf, it was nice to see her fall for a vintage watch just as hard as me 😀



Anyhow, would love to see other examples of people's favorite dress UG, whatever that might be, please share 👍

it's been a while since I visit OF again and this is such a great thread. Here is my all time fav. UG dressy: an earlier version of the White Shadow - with lapis & mother of pearl combination and thin baton hands, manual winding movement - it's pretty rare I would say, in fact, I have never seen a 2nd same piece.
