I am not sure yet.. not something too big, trying to look at something that look like Datejusts or Explorer I, but both are 36mm right? they might be too big for me as I have small wrists. Maybe some 34mm styles? I prefer silver or white dial and not so sure about what kind of bands yet.

Take alook around, but nothing beats going to an AD and checking out the models first hand. This should help you narrow it down a bit and give you an idea as to what works and doesn't work for you.

Since you are not sure what you want this approach above is the way to go...you need to visit the AD's and try things on...if you can deal with the pressure just head to the diamond district to try things on..Wempe is a nice dealer and I would never buy anything at Tourneau but you can try things on there

Chances are most places wont have every option, however it's a good place to start.

Without AD name, these "blank" cards are equally worthless if you ever need warranty work.
I bought my TOG thru SwissLuxury, and my warranty card had the name of purchaser left blank and the rest of the information was complete.

There is no AD there...there are hundreds and hundreds of grey market dealers there...Don't buy...just try on and get an idea of different models you like. If you have never been there it can be overwhelming
