Decision time - need your advice
Hi all, got introduced to this forum by a colleague and I need you help. I’m selling my inherited Patek Ellipse 3738/118 full yellow gold. It’s just too much for my taste.
I want to replace it with a dress watch if you will, clean, Date not really required. I have a whole bunch of watches that I considered. I really wanted a Moser Monard Palladium, but was a day to slow at a local dealer and it had soled.
So here are the ones I still have on the list:
1. Moser venturer vanta black / Blue lagoon
2. Patek 5227J or G
3. IWC Portugiese 150years hand wound
4. Vacheron patrimony Hand wound
5. Parmigiani Toric QF
I know very different watches, brands and approaches. But I like all of them, I even considered the Cellini from Rolex, but I need to make a choice at some point. Can you help me with some advise - I’m sure some of you own or have owned these watches and like to share your thoughts.
Appreciate it! Best

You should try them all on and pick what you think looks the best on your wrist. But just to answer the question, I'd probably go with the VC, Parmigiani, or Moser. I'm usually a fan of going towards more off the beaten path brands.

That’s the watch The thing is - too much bling for my taste, with leather strap ok, but the gold is too heavy. Also I’m not in for the gain, but for design, mechanical and finishing details. That’s why I find alle the hype on Daytona’s or the GMT models l...
