Three On Three: Dress watches
Left to Right #1 Chopard L.U.C 1860, 16/1860/2 #2 Patek Philippe Calatrava, 3796S #3 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute To 1931, Q2788570 Which one do you choose? ...
I like the three of them but if one only...
...personally I don’t hesitate and go for the nice candy 3796. Small is beautiful 😉
3796
In recent years, the rating of 3796 has been increasing. Especially WG. In Chrono24, 3796 in good condition was reduced.
Reverso
The great thing about this Reverso is its simplicity, thinness, and the original caliber 822.
It's
a very interesting opinion. I want to know your sensibility that showed the order!
More of a matter of taste than sensibility, I guess: the fact it’s a charming limited edition I wasn’t aware of from my favorite brand gives Patek the first spot...
The second place for JLC then was probably just a matter of aesthetic appeal, of the dial in particular, even though I do like Chopard as a brand😉Cheers.
Salmon dial is not very popular in Japan.
However, I like this 3796S, which is not a dial color that everyone accepts like silver, black or blue. I mean I'm a pervert! Haha.
ケース型的にはショーパルですね。
文字盤も針もいいけど日付はだめですね 😆 それがなければ完璧だと思います。だからパテックにします。秒針も乗せるとこがいい(ジャーガーはクラシックモデルだけどシンプルすぎ)．．． I prefer the Patek as the balance is perfect. ...
On the contrary,
I respected the consideration of the brand that made it easier to use everyday by putting the date on the dress watch. Why did they not develop a hand-wound and two-hands movement that was easy to develop? They would have aimed for practicality by ensurin...
As a "dress" watch...
the Reverso - all the way! Why? A rectangular watch peeking out - and parallel to - a shirt cuff is about as elegant as you can get. I find round watches look like half-moon (clumsy). -Dean
Yes, it's a true!
But if you know why Chopard developed 1.96 in the 90s, your opinion will change.
1st place for the 1931, 2nd place for the 1931, third place for the 1931.
This piece is one of my favorite pieces and it reminds me of the time when i first became interested in watches.
PP is so traditional!
The 3796 is a great model that played a tribute to the 96. And practical.
Rare 3796
Now 3796 is very rare. I highly appreciate 3796 and 1860, which are both waterproof and transparent.
Waterproof
96 was not waterproof, but 3796 and 5196 are equipped with daily life waterproof function. The same applies to 1860.
Chopard 1.96 wins for me!
Flip them over and ask the question again. With its visible, superbly finished micro rotor movement, it’s no contest. Best, Ira
Amaze
I am amazed at how many Reverso enthusiasts are surprised and at the same time feel the greatness of Reverso.
I think I would go for the Reverso 1931
The Patek I have some worry that it will look overly small on the wrist, even though it is stunning to look at. The 1931 Reverso however, wouldn’t give me that worry. It’s well proportioned and what a classic looking piece.
Classic and original.
The model that pursued them is this Reverso and 3796. Your indication is very relevant!
Of the three Patek all the way
The 3796 is to me the perfect dress watch. At 30.5mm it is perfectly legible and well protected on any wrist and can worn anywhere. Most larger watches are really just larger cases with a lot empty space as the basic size construction of watch movements h...
You are a true watch lover
You have all told about the splendor of 3796. But 215 aesthetics are disappointing.
OK… I'm interpreting the question as which would you chose to own for this purpose, not: which is the best dress watch. So…
For me, the LUC, hands down. Why? It is clearly the most versatile of the three, and at my age and station I need that versatility. Then, the JLC, and finally the Patek. HOWEVER… The Patek is clearly the most "perfect" statement pictured. It is just freak...
As you say.
I use the most versatile LUC most often. And I recently got a second LUC1860.
Reverso came from sports and dress.
Reverso combines the opposite elements and is elegant and active.
All 3 are so uniquely special
.....but...... My head says the Patek which is such a legacy timepiece; however the Chopard appeals to me the most and I would say that I would happily wear it for the rest of my life and pass it down as well as an heirloom. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is on...
You are me...
Because, the dress watch I value the most is the LUC 1860 original. The reason is your opinion.
