What budget do you have to spend?

 

If it's something like $1k then I'd get a gen something.

 

 

Have you thought about a JLC Tourbillon, like the one skathe has? Not accurate to gen but looks better IMO!

 

Or any of the Rolex DJs / DDs / Airkings are pretty slim and well repped, and you could go to a DJII or DDII at 41mm?

Omega DeVille, stainless steel, 40mm x 10mm with date and perfectly acceptable price point with good well recognised name and beautiful design. :lol:

Christ thats beautiful Balders!!!! I know I'm an Omega lout but thats a classic dress watch and the band is almost reptilian!!

 

Akira for classic dress watches I'd recommend a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony (The Gen Contemporaine is no.2 on my grail list but for $15,000 it can stay there for a while)

MR has some patrimony reps and I know there was a Contemporaine a while ago but it might be hard to find.

The DeVille is a classic, if he's not confined to S/S, there are others to choose from.

or you could pick from Piaget / Vacheron / Patek / Longines / Cartier / JLC and others, I'm sure most of these are also available in steel, some of these will fit the bill others won't, hopefully they'll provide some stimulation, all of them IMO are suitable for a present for Dads and Uncles !

Hmm, came across a different version of the Home » Glashutte Original » Senator at $238, however better not post any more details. The poor chap might be ripped off again.
