There is just something about the romanticism of a fine time only watch.
Beautiful collection and shots!
A collection of dress watches
A stunning collection of dress watches belonging to @cayenne1200 (from left to right ): Golden Ellipse , ref. 5738R -001 Grand Seiko , ref. SBGW231 Calatrava , ref. 5227G -010 Calatrava , ref. 3445 (probably white gold) Calatrava , ref. 5196P -001 Calatra...
Each had incredible charm for me,
Including the 5196P, of course (but I know by experience that it doesn't wear well on smaller wrists like mine, unfortunately). Best, Emmanuel ...
Th 5196P has a TON of presence...
...while not having my favorite movement, and 'issues' with the seconds, it really is a terrific watch...
I agree, but I know by experience that it doesn't wear well on
smaller wrists like mine, unfortunately. The lug-to-lug is too long. Best, Emmanuel ...
I should have asked to try it on...
...it was on the wrist of a well-known Manhattan watch dealer. I'm thinking my 7.25" wrist would not be a problem...
I love the Ellipse too. Any preference among the 4 Calatravas?
And the GS is far from being bad, imo. Best, Emmanuel

The 5196 is the odd one out, because all the rest have indices rather than arabics. The 6119 is the odd one out, because all the others have smooth bezels. The 3445 is the odd one out, because all the others are modern rather than vintage. The 5227 is the...
Always something, perhaps,

5096P requires a large wrist.
It looks bad on mine. Hopefully Cayenne will resume posting here someday! Best, Emmanuel ...
I agree that I would be happy with any.
Except the 5096P though because it requires a large wrist: it looks bad on mine. Best, Emmanuel ...
Thats one super collection.
Looks like pref is for white metal. The 5738 stands out in this collection.
Super collection indeed.
And like you I like the Ellipse very much, but would be happy with several others too. Best, Emmanuel

The Ellipse
stands out of this great collection as pure dress watch , uniquely different from the others which can be versatile apart from being dressy. That would be my choice
