Hi Cholack...
You seem to have really "formal" requirements. Assuming that you're really just restricting yourself to these 3 (lots of round dial choices for business/casual in and outside of JLC), the first one (AMVOX2 Chrono) would be the one that may wear well over time.
The busy dial on the DBS and the Racing may prove too casual and may leave you being really uncomfortable about wearing a watch that is not suited for the occassion... sort of like finding yourself wearing jeans when everybody else is wearing a shirt and tie.
Now if you've already arrived like our Dr. Bernard Cheong then all bets are off
Good luck on your decision.

I like the DBS

I like the colors and the whole layout. It feels the most sophisticated and elegant of the three somehow, even with the 'busy-ness' of the overall dial. Regarding the too casual for office... I'd submit that 99% of all co-workers will not notice or care w...
I much appreciate....

The opinions given so far. Nicholas, thanks very much for the picture; it confirms my own opinions of the Racing version, which is that it is MUCH more sport than formal....actually, a little bit more polarizing than I thought. Mostel, yup I'm sure that v...
The simpler, the better....

IMHO. The watch is already quite complicated, especially for more formal wear. I bought the original Ti-PVD last year, and simply LOVE it. It is not my daily wearer, but I wear it probably at least half the week. And it IS my dress watch. I have posted el...
Thanks Tinker

For the pictures and opinions. What has always held me back from going forward with the PVD version is the question of its durability/longevity. My personal type is somewhat OCD, so the thought of a shiny sliver of metal peek out under the PVD coating wou...
PVD

Well, I have only had the watch about 18 months, and bought it new at JLC BH. But.... It is absolutely immaculate, not a scratch on the PVD-- so far so good. And I am not "easy" on my watches. That's not to say i am rough on them, but I try not to be craz...
I agree

After being initially skeptical, I gave in t my wife's claims I could wear my Amvox 2 chrono (non dbs) with a suit.... and it really does look great. I think a bit large for more formal settings / client meetings but for a normal day in the office its fin...
