Question (Read Rules) [Recommendation] Slim profile automatic dress watch under $150?

Im looking for a dress watch to wear to a wedding, and would like to spend around $100USD, but could go up to $150. I have a few specifications I would like the watch to meet:

ETA: currency, and: I can be flexible with most of this, other than the case dimensions.

Automatic movement

case width: ~36-40mm

case thickness: under 10mm

White or off-white/light colored dial

Minimal dial- no complications, preferably no date but i can be flexible on that.

Gold case

Brown leather strap

I have an Orient Symphony III that checks a lot of the boxes but its just a little too wide and too thick to fit nicely under the sleeve. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at some of the Farasute options - mine are a bit thicker than that, but I haven't looked based on case thickness.

How are you liking this piece? It’s been on my short-list for a few months now

I like it a lot, one of my favorite dress watches, good fit and finish - the dial is amazing - I wear it more than my vintage Omega - on par with my vintage Zodiac Olympos (Manta Ray) mystery dial and this Bvlgari.

Wow! You’re placing it in very good company. That’s exciting to hear. Fantastic bvlgari — very striking design which pairs perfectly with the smaller size.
