RE this thread: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=609331

I am now down 4 pieces, including the two dress pieces I had, my ALS 1815 and my JLC Reverso are gone.

I know I can wear anything as a dress watch, including my white dialed 5711 but I would like to add back something on a strap to my collection.

I have looked at:

Glashutte Panoreserve

JLC Geophysic True Second

Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar

and not a dress watch (I know but I like it

) a

Rolex Milgauss GV

Would love some thoughts on these pieces

Thanks

ProdigalGil · 29 June 2018, 07:27 AM

If dress watch, it would have to be GO with a moonphase to spice it up and make it interesting.

Still prefer datejust 41 over the globemaster and Milgauss is dress sport, so depends how dress you want it and bespoke strap will go really well with GO.

Tough choice. GO might not be an everyday watch though.

The GO is nice, I had the silver dial black strap. Can you do ALS version, L1.
Don’t like middle 2, the smaller Ltd geophysic is better proportioned IMO.
I have that Millie and it’s a real fun watch, not dress at all with colors / I view it like a hulk.
One warning on Millie / it’s a little floppy and I’m struggling with sizIng. I don’t like needing th easylink out always and that’s the position I’m in with it.

beshannon · 29 June 2018, 08:05 AM

Thanks, did not really like the moon phase, the reserve suits me and agree it might not get much wear

No cannot do the ALS L1, just sold my 1815, trying to pare down and not interested in pm pieces, even though that is dress

Interesting take on the GV, I have had it on and it is heavy but comfortable, thanks

bruinmd · 29 June 2018, 08:11 AM

Of those choices, the Glashutte is amazing, followed by the Omega Globemaster Calendar, a watch I think that doesn't get enough love

AK797 · 29 June 2018, 08:19 AM

I tried on that Blue GO and it just felt flat on me, I'd think about a Moser, very elegant calligraphy on a simple design, or a Breguet Classique with signature guilloche.

Thanks, wish I had the chance to see a Moser

supersam80 · 29 June 2018, 09:34 AM

What made you get rid of the ALS 1815?

I tried on an 1815 up/down a couple of days ago, its an absolutely stunning watch and seriously considering it. Would flip my IWC and have a two watch collection with my GMT, so a dressy watch that's slightly sporty and sports watch

tryptobphan · 29 June 2018, 09:48 AM

Between those four watches, I vote for the True Seconds Geophysique watch. It just looks elegant and has that trick jump second mechanism. But I'll probably be the only one to vote for it.

scarlet knight · 29 June 2018, 10:58 AM

I pick the JLC.

vman · 29 June 2018, 11:53 AM

GO. Millie is not a really a dress watch. I don't like wearing anytime I wear a blazer.

rolehex · 29 June 2018, 04:46 PM

JLC for my pick.

Sandpit · 29 June 2018, 07:38 PM

JLC MUT Moon would be my choice. Or a small second.

beshannon · 29 June 2018, 08:41 PM

Thanks guys appreciate the insight.

Long story on the ALS basically fixing something from a long time ago

1William · 29 June 2018, 09:17 PM

I prefer the JLC. Elegant, simple, yet refined.

Starwalker · 29 June 2018, 11:19 PM

I would go with the GO. However, if you haven’t seen them, then I would recommend a Chopard from the LUC collection, love the XPS 1860 and the twist. Unique and different, am sure you’ll get a great discount too.

joli160 · 30 June 2018, 01:00 AM

The Omega is a nice non traditional watch and would be my choice

Skyrider01 · 30 June 2018, 05:58 AM

JLC, but I prefer their MUT line, especially the MUT Moon.

beshannon · 4 July 2018, 06:59 AM

Thanks al for the help, my choice took a sideways turn

I will publish a full review with images soon but until then, I chose a Glashutte Senator Excellence

IWC Portugieser Chrono

Had one a few years ago and sold it because I'm not a big fan of leather straps and the lack of IWC bracelet options that could fit this specific model !

Nevertheless, it is IMO, one of the most beautiful watches ever made !

beshannon · 7 July 2018, 10:24 PM

Thanks all for the help, not a fan of the Portugese Chrono.

The Glashutte is safe at home

Good choice!
