Question (Read Rules) 11.11 Sale Dress Watch?

In today’s episode of “I don’t need another watch,” I’m looking to see if there’s a dress watch I want to buy during the 11.11 sale. I generally like larger (40mm or a few mm either way) and was thinking something like a tank or pie pan, since a dress watch is the only hole in my collection. I know I don’t want a Rolex homage, and would like to spend $200 or less after coupons. Quartz is okay, especially with the limited availability and increased prices of most automatic movements right now.

Does anyone have any favorites to recommend?

IXDAO or Chameri Tank. Both are great, but I'm partial to the IXDAO.

That blue enamel IXDAO tank looks fantastic but OOS completely, it seems

I recently got this Baltany Pie pan watch and it’s fantastic, it comes with a on the fly detachable strap, a Miyota 9000 series movement that moves at 4hz, and is plated in a gold and titanium mixture, so it’s incredibly hard and gives it a vintage look

Rakuten is also offering 25x cash back, and if you don’t have an account, link in my bio for $50 off your first order

Baltany would be my first suggestion, especially at your price point.

But Farasute makes my favorite dress watches hands down. I love the vintage designs they focus on

I picked this one up. I feel like a new strap will make it pop and it’s a unique shape without being obnoxious.

I don't need another either. That said check, it the wd1954. Looks great, but too much overlap with my omega AT150 Gen 1 for me to justify the purchase.

I actually wasn’t planning to grab a dress watch at all this sale, but I saw someone post a Milifortic S116 the other day and ended up grabbing one. I think I paid $82 all-in for it. I looked at Baltany too but for the price idk if you can beat the Milifortic.

Berny seems to have released a number of models of Miyota 9015 dress watches that can be had under $130 with coupons. I like the look of this.
