Show me your best SS 38mm dress watch...

I am always considering a dress watch, and though I really like the 36mm datejusts, I am not prepared to open my wallet for another Rolex today..

Show me your favorite 38mm Men's dress watches in stainless steel.

Some watches I have considered are:
Rolex datejust 36mm Tuxedo or white dial
Blancpain 100 hours
Omega triple date white dial
Omega Colorful seamaster (not a dress watch, but interesting)
Omega Qtz, (perfect condition, low cost watch)

Notice the price differences.i would never pay these retail prices, and all of these watches will sit at these high prices in my opinion..

Rolex datejust 36mm Tuxedo or white dial -- $5,000 used retail
Blancpain 100 hours -- $4,500 used retail
Omega triple date white dial -- $4,000 used retail
Omega Colorful seamaster (not a dress watch, but interesting)-- $3,900 new at omega boutique.
Omega Qtz, (perfect condition) -- $600 used retail

Yes, that is a great looking watch, clean dial, easy read, it's what a dress watch should be...

I am also impressed by the omega bracelets, the 600 dollar quartz watch listed above has the most comfortable band of the group...

Wow, I think we may have a winner- the JLC is incredible, though it looks out of budget.

This forum is incredible...

Just traded my Pelagos for this Zenith 36'000 VPH. At 38MM, it is my smallest watch, but it does not feel too small for me.

Really nice watch. It sure looks larger than 38mm.
I am curious if the Zenith brand will gain more popularity Now that Baumgatner has jumped from space to earth.

Keep the 38mm watches coming...!

I just picked this up for my work watch, clients said my Panerai was too flashy



Should get here next week.

Also, I always tell myself how much I hate the reverso but keep falling back in love with it

My Explorer 14270 isn't quite 38mm, but it's a great dress watch.

Elegant. 38mm. Doesn't cost much pre owned (relatively speaking).

Not my pic but I recently picked up a JLC RDM.

I just think it is really clean but not overly simple.

39mm and thin (even though it is billed as ultra thin)
