Do you guys think this is a dress watch?

A 36 two tone Datejust. Do you guys think that this will work well as a dress watch? Or should I stick to something like PP Calatrava, or JLC Mater Control?

I think your other two choices are nicer for a dress watch. That's a cool dial for the DJ! Just rather busy for dress.

Agreed. A plain white, black or gray dial on a DJ is fine. That is a little busy for dress.

they're all "dress" watches. the other two just fit the bill better from a traditional view.

The dial on the 36mm is what throws me off as it being a "dress watch"...nice piece tho...go with the later IMO
