...all the watch the refined gentleman ever needs? It's very elegant, understated and confident of itself; it doesn't need buttons or sub-registers or anything to scream Hey, I'm An Expensive Watch. To my eye, it would not be out of place with just about ... 

Maybe this, plus a Rolex, Omega, Panerai or IWC and a Seiko/G-shock for working out you'd be done!

It makes the Saxonia thin in my opinion more wearable and classy. They should make a stainless steel blue dial one, that would/could be awesome. But my favorite Saxonia is still the Boutique edition, especially ref. 216.027, simply stunning. ...  

It adds minute markers and a sub-seconds hand - hmmm - also pretty darned nice. Stainless steel and a blue dial would be the absolute bee\'s knees. Drool. And it is really is great that we are finally getting back to reasonable case sizes! Best E

Richard, You got it: if anything can move me to precious metals, it\'s the prospect of something elegant like this, sized reasonably, with excellent finishing and a strong value proposition. Looking forward to trying it on.... Best E.

the two strategic points you made, something for someone with smaller wrist and budget, together with overall excellent feedback about this brand from the forumn members, had me sold on the 37mm.

37 mm version is one of the best dress watches! And the price is so good.... Constantin

of a manual-wind watch with no seconds hand on the dial.

I guess when I consider what JLC or Chopard offer in simple elegance, the Saxonia 37 lines up.
