So after persisting with my relatively straightforward Seiko 5 series for a little while, I thought it was time to invest in a nice dress watch seeing as I'm not a bit more involved in the corporate world. I wanted something that could be casual enough for every day wear in the office, but also look good dressed up in a suit. A had a long hunt around and considered many different makes and models, but in the end I settled on one that just clicked.
Excuse the shitty purple tinged photo, it was a bit dark inside.
This is a Tissot Le Locle automatic, on a crocodile skin band with a deployment clasp. It was pricey, but I really like the clean and relatively simple face and the textured circle adds a bit more personality. I'm not in a hurry to spend as much cash as this again (up next, an Orient Mako), but this is going to be the centre piece of my collection for a little while.
It's a 39-40mm diameter case with a Swiss-made 2824-2 movement. Aside from being a bit noisy, so far it's keeping extremely good time. It's losing between 5-10 seconds each day so far, which is no problem for me.
By way of a PSA, this was purchased through Creation Watches in Singapore. It was extremely well handled with free DHL shipping that arrived four days after purchase (two of which were the weekend). Very solidly packed and good communication throughout. I highly recommend them as a seller.
