Hello everyone I'm in the market for a dressy white dial watch. Currently I've got a good price on both these watches, the Citizen NB1060-04a and the Seiko SPB045J1. I own a watch from both brands already and they're now butting heads for the white dial spot in my collection. I plan to mainly wear them for dressier occasions, but I also plan to swap out the strap for a bracelet or a nato on days where I want to rock something white. They're both enamel and I'm actually having a hard time choosing one over the other, and no I cannot get them both.

Some pros:

Citizen: Leaf lacquer dial, nice applied indices, superior strap, thinner and smaller case size (dressier imo)

Seiko: Blued hands, signed crown, 20mm lug width, slightly better power reserve, more interesting date complication

I'm wondering if you guys could give your two cents regarding both watches and any first hand experiences with them. TYIA

Hello so I've recently been looking for a watch that can do the best of both worlds as either a sporty look with a bracelet or a dressy one with a leather strap. Currently I'm looking at the citizen NB1060-04A https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~KkAAOSwItxkEp2Q/s-l1600.jpg. Thing is, it doesn't come with a bracelet. The NB1050 bracelet fits the bill but I've only heard middling to bad things about it. If my mind doesn't get rid of the itch I'm considering just getting a sleek nato to pair it on more casual days.

Given this, I'd like to know if you guys could recommend a white dial watch that leans heavier towards the dress watch side, but can still be a daily wear. My only caveats are that it shouldn't have a rotating bezel, ideally be under 40mm, the dial needs to be white or silver, and with a max price of ~1000$.

P.S. if you guys can break my stigma of "it needs a bracelet/always buy the bracelet" with your own perspectives that'd be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance.
