Hi there, He is looking for a watch and this is the info he gave me to suggest him a watch that suits him: - He is not a collector, hence it will be one watch only... - Brand he prefer, but not limited to are, JLC, Omega, IWC ... - It should be a " modern...
Or if he wants something more interesting, he could try to hunt down a steel Geophysic, which has a dead seconds feature. Might be pushing the budget, however.
Tresor De Ville Steel Chronometer watch. + It is modern with sufficient heritage. + It is elegant - with 3 hands and date. + Leather band. +/- hand wound + steel only ++ Dial colour - blue +++ ~ EUR6,000 Image from Omega website ...
If I wasn’t trying to pare down my collection I would be tempted to add this one. Slim, classic, elegant, robust, with influence from George Daniels. What’s not to like?
it exudes elegance and is Master Chronometer certified as well. It has a beautiful blue textured dial to boot. I think you should really, really consider making an exception and make the acquisition . You will be wearing it all day long with a big smile o...
I think you are correct that I would enjoy wearing this one. But I’m at the point when considering a new watch that I ask myself if I would prefer it over a similar watch I already own. Plus, my preference is for no date, though this one is very tastefull...
By the way, here’s my one and only JLC, bought at my AD around 2006 and still sitting in some Italian safe...it’s a Master Ultrathin that’s probably long out of production...almost fitting his criteria as well, except for the lack of date and the price (I...

Thank you. This watch is very nice and such a timeless piece. Isnt there another version of this watch with central second? Your version is clearly a favourite!
If it will help with the decision making process. Waiting for the right watch is always preferable to getting what’s immediately available In my experience. Good luck with the decision. Sincerely H.
Is of course under his budget ceiling but otherwise ticks all the boxes, I think, and in my experience plays well with people with a similar wish list. Best Andreas
Has your friend looked at Grand Seiko? I think all the above suggestions are great options (the limited Seamaster mentioned above by Cpt Scarlet is super cool as is its center seconds sibling and the JLC is of course top). My reason for suggesting GS is t...
There are so many watches that will match the criteria and budget, We all know and remember what we first wanted but in most case we changed or changed watches. Hard to say which watch will match best without knowing a minimum about wrist’s size, the pers...
