Datejust out of those. Especially if you are in Taipei, leather straps in the summer humidity aren't great in my opinion.

I like the Aqua Terra for your work situation. I prefer the 41 mm size of the Omega over the 39.5 mm Datejust and also like the bracelet better as well. If you can wear jeans to work the slightly less formal AT may suit you better and you can find them at a nice discount either new or used.

DateJust. However, I prefer the 36mm DateJust.

I'd go with the JLC. it has a sterling reputation among watch people, and will fly under the radar for those not in the know. and you can dress it up if you need to.

I actually think the JLC or AT are better work/office watches than the DJ.

I think the speedy pro on leather would make a great office watch.

Fugging hilarious!!
OP -- I own an AT41 and a DJ41 with jubilee. I wear suits to work and, in addition to others in rotation, I alternate both of these watches. You could definitely pull off either with jeans; although I think the AT41 is more versatile. Good luck...you've got some classy choices! |

Fluted too fancy for a workplace in jeans, Cartier too poncy, so it’s the AT or the JLC for me.

All of these look like solid choices.
I think the white dial OP39 (or 36mm) is also very nice and should be in the mix. That, and the Cartier Santos medium. I'd say the OP would wax a little more business-casual whereas the Santos has a more dressy vibe but both are fairly versatile as everyday-professional attire |

That’s easy....... datejust
While the others are beautiful and might even give more value for the money yet everything considered I would vote for the rolex!
