Which Wedding Day watch would you pick?

Hi guys! First post here. Budget 5k. Wrist size 6.5 Not a sure if a black or white dial looks better. Also undecided on leather strap works best with a black tux. Any advice is welcome! Thanks for your input!

That Omega or GS will be fine if your wedding is casual event or if it’s held on a beach where you might play volleyball later.

If your wedding is going to be a formal event where you’re going to wear a nice suit or a tux, the IWC or another proper dress watch is more appropriate.

This is what I picked up for my daughters wedding. I wanted something special that wasn't to expensive. My money for the most part goes to the actual wedding

Seiko SARX029 Urushi dial

Courthouse wedding and whatever watch you can afford 😀

Really can’t go wrong with a tank for formal purposes.

I’d consider a Formex Essence as well.

I feel like I need to remind the Omega fans that just because the AT is an Omega doesn’t make it a dress watch. Omega actually makes a line of dress watches. It’s called the DeVille line.

The AT is a casual sport watch. It’s right in the name… Aqua…Terra. Water and land. Outdoor activity. Not formal dress. Let’s not lead our newest member into a formal occasion wearing a sport watch just because an Omega is in the poll.

Came here to say Cartier Tank, was not disappointed 👌🏽

Personally, would go for a large steel SolarBeat though

Thank you for the detailed response. I’ll keep that in mind!

White dial

Where are you located? If in the U.S., then I would say that with a $5k budget, go to Chrono24, and pick this up from a professional Japanese dealer for $4,117.

  • Champagne dial, which I've read is harder for GS to do than the Snowflake dial!

  • GMT

  • Spring Drive!

  • Can be dressed up (with a nice alligator strap) or down (waxed canvas strap)

  • Has 100M WR, so if you're utterly insane, you can wash dishes with it on!

Hi @KuyaNikko !

Congratulations for your wedding and welcome to the club! 😀🍻

A friend who was not into watches got the GS SBGM221 for his wedding after some exhausting research and comparison.

In the end he loved it, she loved it, he got many compliments and he is wearing it daily for the last 4,5 years.

That's a beautiful one! Regarding the dial, there is a verz interesting story.

I was told in a GS boutique that it is not resembling campagne but the silk that has been traditionally being produced in the area around the GS studio. If you look close it looks like weaved silk 😮
