    Default Bell and Ross or other??

    Im having trouble deciding on which dress watch to buy. I love the WW1 style of the Bell and Ross but is there something else i should or could look at to compare?? Im after analouge and a tan leather band preferably.

    Thanks

    Welcome to L4P.

    I would think B&R is more sporty than dressy. Great brand, but what else are you considering?

    Budget?

    I agree with porshah, the B&R is not really a dress watch IMO.

    Default i thought it was dressy.

    i guess that shows how new i am to this. I have an Omega that i use for my everyday watch. Im after soething with a leather band and simple face. No specific brand in mind except the bell and ross WW series i liked.

    I guess like most mentioned. What is your price range. Also none of the watches mentioned above are dressy watches. Maybe you should be more clear. I say go for any Panerai if you can. They go well with everything, dressy and sporty and their resale value is also not bad either if you ever want to move on.

    I love Panarais but they aren't dress watches. As mentioned, price range and intended use will help narrow down the suggestions.

    I think the Radiomir line offers a dress look. They look fine with a suit or with shorts and a tee.
