OK, so I am in Amsterdam getting ready to go back home in two weeks and I was doing some shopping, and I saw the RG Speedmaster with a brown dial and I have to say the color combination looked real good to me. Unfortunately the watch was too busy for my tastes. I know other makers must make RG watches with a brown dial, watch needs to be 41-46 MM and under 25 K USD. The Jaeger Extreme Tourbillion is nice, but more than I want to spend right now. All suggestions appreciated! |

I have no suggestions regarding a watch but you may have a walk down the "pc hooftstraat" in amsterdam , several high end watch stores in that street and close by (ACE Jewelry store just around the corner from there) I hope you find anything you like ! |

Dracha, thank you for the suggestion! I am familiar with the area and have walked it many times. PS: Love Amsterdam and Naardin! Roff, good one! That Breguet slipped my mind! First choice so far! |

They will be happy to provide you with an object to match your desires  Aside from that, a L.U.Chopard XPS "Geneva seal" may do it for you. Both are worlds less "busy" than a speedy. |

Altair, you probably know this but just to make sure dont forget to buy 'tax and duty free' , you will have to take the sales receipt to the tax office at Schiphol airport when you go home but it saves you a good 19% VAT / GST |

I see, might have been a bit naive there Besides, gotta say: that Cartier Calibre looks amazing in RG... I hadn't seen it before, I'm not a big fan of the SS version, but in RG it really comes to life! |

I've had that Cartier in SS and was extremely disappointed in it. The strap felt cheap, the deployment is a piece of junk, and the watch looked very unbalanced. You can't even compare that to the Breguet XXI, not in a million years. |

Well the XXI is in a league of its own I am not one for diving watches, but objectively speaking, it is very beautiful.

Seriously, thanks for the suggestion, but I have way too many Panerais right now and I am awaiting on a brown dial composite 1950, so for the sake of diversity I think I will go with something else. Though the Rad in RG and brown dial is stunning. |

Fear, although I like Cartiers pens and cufflinks, I never liked any of their watches. |

AA Brother, Though this piece is above your budget, we both know budgets were for blowing anyways.
