steveo75 1 Posted March 23, 2017 Hi folks, I've got a couple of black faced reps now that I love for daily wear, but I've got an itch I need to scratch for more formal wear with a suit or just to mix it up a bit, and have been looking at various white faced options - mostly IWC 5007 but they might be a bit big, and some Longines...but I keep coming back to the JLC Reserve de Marche with the silver face. Such a pity it doesn't come in white. I don't tend to see a lot of silver faced watches around though so wondered if anyone's got any views. Good with a suit? Does the silver tend more to grey or white (I appreciate that may not make much sense, but I don't want another watch dial that looks dark!) Hard to tell from photos on the interweb. Any real-world opinions on their general wearability, why you got one, or why you didn't get one if you thought about it and didn't go ahead, are valued.

RussP 22,106 Posted March 23, 2017 I've got plenty of grey/silver and white dial watches. As long as the hands are in a contrasting colour, you'll be fine. Yes, they make excellent dress watches (Patek Calatrava and the JLC Master series are good examples). See here" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo75 1 Posted March 23, 2017 Those are lovely watches, thanks for sharing...once pay day comes around it looks like a JLC might be on the cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

austinsom 47 Posted March 23, 2017 I do like that Chopard, but how about a Hamilton: http://www.hamiltonw...-auto/h42515555 I have this one, and it wears nicely and works with a suite, quite heavy though, but it is a 7750: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted March 23, 2017 I don't have the Réserve de Marche but got a similar one, Master Geographic. The rep has a definite silver tone to it. It is very light and noticeable at some angles but looks white at other angles. Therefore more white than grey.

steveo75 1 Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks all. Silver looks incredible on that brown strap too. I'm getting some major watch envy here. What's the spelling mistake on the Master Geographic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,490 Posted March 24, 2017 I think latest batches are coming without it. I clearly remember someone buying it few months ago and it has no error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted March 25, 2017 Silver is stealthy, even more than white, as it just blends with everything and doesn't stand out. Some watches just suit silver dials. IWCs, JLCs and - of course - the Datejust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewart 0 Posted March 25, 2017 I am too lazy to photobucket but watch this video if you want to see the best white/silver dial imo. http://puretime03.com/watch-brands/audemars-piguet/royal-oak/royal-oak-37mm-15450-ss-jf-1-1-best-edition-silver-dial-on-brown-leather-strap-a3120.html AP 15450 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo75 1 Posted March 25, 2017 Some very nice watches there. This is going to get expensive! Love the simplicity of that JLC dial too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,490 Posted March 25, 2017 Oh and this, which is gorgeous also in its rep form! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arism 26 Posted March 26, 2017 Can't really go wrong with a DJ. Got this one mainly because of that gorgeous linen dial. Goes as great with a suit as it does a t-shirt and shorts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,106 Posted March 26, 2017 Here's a white dial AP 37mm that I own. It's one of the oldest of my rep collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
