rolex snd is a great daily beater(i have)
panerai 390 is not a daily beater but also casual(i have)
now the target(s) a true dress watch for a reasonable price for me is the jlc master control
and a kick ass cool watch an ap diver(one off the 3,ceramic?)
now is the diver in my mind to achieve in 2014,so first things first and later the dress watch

3. The dress watch : A watch geared for special occasions and big nights out.

Or if you think a collection should have more than three, comment please!

If I had to pick three of mine it would be the Patek 5711, the Daytona and the Lange 1815

I do not believe that anything is perfect however and three is likely not a large enough number to cover all the bases

Similar collection. The speedy on a leather strap looks very dressy to me.
