Omega vs IWC vs JLC

[ghaddar]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a casual or sporty watch, after some research i narrowed down my options to the following 3 : omega speedmaster pro, IWC portugese automatic dial 7 day power reserve, grande reverso 8 fay power reserve
i hope you can help me decide,

[capote]

I think the best candidate for causal/sporty is the Speedmaster. The Reverso is also really nice, but more of a dress watch, despite its sport watch heritage.

To me a leather band = dress watch. Steel bracelet can go either dress/casual/sporty. I'll admit I am biased toward Omega, but for no particular reason other than I really like them.

All that to say, "Buy the Speedy Pro!!"

All three are VERY different. If you're looking for smart casual, then the IWC. If you're looking for a sporty casual, then bracelet. The JLC is more dressy.

[MrJ320]

My choice is the Speedy Pro or the IWC. They are also in different price ranges, if that's a factor that needs to be considered.

If your emphasis is on casual/sporty, then the best choice is the Speedmaster. The IWC and JLC are more dressy.

I like all three watches, but as soon as you put a gator strap on a watch it becomes much more of a dress watch. Which one would you wash the car with? Maybe, jump in the pool?

[Demosthene]

Theres a big price difference between the Speedmaster and the other two.

[Koernel]

IMHO only is casual and sporty. The others are dress watches.

[wrxsti]

here's my vote, mine gets tons of wrist time

[ghaddar]

THank you all for you feedback,
Regarding the price difference, my budget is around 10K$.

And the watch style i require is smart casual

[htc8p]

iwc

[AAMD11]

Omega for sure the rest are too dressy

[p_mcgee]

Iwc. I had the RGD for a few years, then sold it because it was too dressy and not getting wrist time.

[eric23]

I would pick the IWC out of those 3. But it depends on what you are looking for in a watch.

[mdtddd2007]

I like IWC out of all 3. For sporty and casual. Good luck on your choice. All are great brands.

[Watcheroo]

IWC for sure. It's a great all-rounder.

[m_reign]

Based on these options I would opt for the IWC as well.

[mjclark32]

IWC, Omega, JLC. In my opinion.

[C.anderson]

Go for the Omega.

Panerai

[towernick]

Get the Omega on a bracelet, then buy the black croc strap and stainless steel deployment, you will have one watch that can act as two. It's a win win. BTW, the Speedmaster Pro looks awesome on the black croc.

IWC one of my favorite watch for dressy or casual, just beautiful

[esm]

IWC 7 days get my pick, especially the silver dial and blue hands version

[Perdu]

That IWC is one of my fantasy watches.

[z0mghenry]

For a sports/casual I would choose the Speedy. The IWC and JLC are great watches but seem more dressy IMO

[topcat30093]

Personally and without any shadow of a doubt, my choice would be for the IWC :)

I have always admired that piece, it has superb clarity and can be worn on all occasions.

[ghaddar]

Thanks everyone for the feedback, IWC has the most count as of now.
out of the many styles of IWC i was attracted to the blue dial with the blue leather strap, its just great. :D

[bewithabob]

I am partial to IWC for as sport watch, have two already
the Reverso is a classic, and on my list of wants.

[brian8121]

I have the iwc 7 day (ss silver-ish dial, gold hands/markers), and I think it's a fantastic all around watch. I'm selling mine because it doesn't get much wrist time and I have a few incoming watches. But it's beautiful and I've worn it with jeans/sweater as well as a suit.
