Mr_B 2,401 Posted September 15, 2019 Looking to get a silver dress watch for special occasions, the main reason I'm going steel over gold is longevity, I don't want to buy another one in the future. I've found three i like, Would you pick one of these or would you choose another? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nivka 5 Posted September 15, 2019 They’re pics of gens. I’d look at the corresponding reps and choose based on that. Personally, I went with the zf JLC master ultra thin moon and can’t recommend it enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the moon phase, does yours function properly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the moonphase is fully functional (not that I use it lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,496 Posted September 15, 2019 I can't pick any one of those 3, to be fair. I like them all, equally. Certainly wouldn't go for that moonphase shit though. Too pretentious. Who really gives a shit what phase the moon is in, assuming that it's even correct! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Werewolves Midnight Hunters Hippies (they like to charge their crystals during a full moon) Vampires Astrologists Astronauts Nut-jobs Gingers, probably get moonburn if it's too bright and they're not covered head to toe in thick clothing The list is endless really.

KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted September 15, 2019 Of those I would go with the Lange because of the no date dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_B 2,401 Posted September 16, 2019 Think I've made my mind up and il probably get the Lange, as I like the simplicity & OXF version is under $300 from a TD, was a close call between that an a JLC, I've overspent this month so may be an Xmas treat to myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porschespeedster 19 Posted September 17, 2019 Yah i think go Gen if you want the longines, lots of vintage options available there. Wish we could grab a closed-back quartz rep of the Lange! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bertus15 15 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I'm personally totally in love with the JLC Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds. There are Reps of it based on the Seagull ST17 . Seagull makes decent movements. Another you might want to have a look at is the KZ Factory Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, which at 6.8mm thick is one of the thinnest Reps I've seen.
