Seems I'm on a white dial with gold indices binge...

This is a beautifully put together dress chronograph, even at 43mm.
Fine for me at 6'2" 200lb and 7.5" wrist.

Alas my crappy photo does it no justice at all - the dial and hands are sharp and really pop.
And since I'm not a brand queen I care not a jot that it's a Frederique Constant either.
The quality is there, I got an eye-watering deal on it and I ain't selling.

Picked this up today. NOS from a dealer who didn't know what to do with it.

Didn't expect to like it that much but after a few hours on the wrist, it's really quite striking and supremely comfortable for our sweltering summer days.
Considering the whole JeanRichard saga I'm happy to have snagged a momento.

And when I say I stole it, think Timex money...

Cocktail ?

One of the most elegant and affordable watch out there.

Cocktail ?

This is the OG Cocktail Time Ref. SARB065 which I was lucky to grab in 2011, just after they became available in Japan.
Alas not so affordable any longer, IF you can find one for sale.

My poor photography skills don't show the delicate powder blue of the dial very well, but it's absolutely gorgeous.

Movement: 6R15
40mm stainless steel case, Hardlex crystal, 23 jewels, 50 hour power reserve, 21,600 bph, manual winding, hacking function.

[Photo not my own but posted to better show the dial]

Just had to stop by as I’ve had no less than three compliments on maybe the cheapest watch I own You just never know what others might like!

Cheap, perhaps, but Casio Edifice is a great line of watches. And that one in particular has just the right amount of zing with that orange bezel.

Good point @phthora , I still find this one more desirable or just trick looking

Not saying I don't have a Dream Casio, that Mr. G with the Gold and Red appointments is to die for

Cool watch on your wrist!

I really like the look of the newer G-Shocks. They aren't mechanical though. I have this odd obsession with mechanical watches and can't bring myself to buy quartz watches. c’est la vie.

Great thread, and wonderful pictures! There is an art to photographing watches, which I have yet to master. Anyway, here is a middling shot of my daily driver, fully charged.
