You Dress watch thoughts - Conside Saxonia Thin 37mm ? JS Watch Co Iceland ?Thoughts

Thinking about a dress watch and this watch is really beautiful. Maybe the 37 mm thin is the better size as I dont think a dress watch should also be chunky but im an old guy.
Different class but I also like the Icelandic watches from JS watch co.

Does anyone own either or have a favorite dress watch that doesn't break the bank?

The saxonia thin is one of my favorite watches I have owned. It's just perfect: simple but extremely legible, elegant, and finished to the max. Mine is white gold, and I got a brown leather strap to increase versatility. I have much more expensive watches, but that piece is very special IMO.

I don't care for the saxonia thin because it doesn't have a seconds function. Also, I don't care for ultra thin dress watches personally.

Older Seiko and Cartier should fit the bill. But I agree the Saxonia Thin is the perfect slim dress watch. I wear a Lange 1, but was close to getting the Saxonia Thin as well.

Grand seiko makes very nice 36/37 mm time only dress watches.
Amazing finishing and style and will likely save u some cash.

I have a GS sbgw253, it is finished nicer than my patek




Or the ultimate 36…a patek 3940.

But depends upon the size of the bank you don’t wish to break.
