Thanks guys!
Those posts really help- I think that the JLC would fit the best knowing his personality and tastes.

His requirement for either stainless or titanium has pushed him into considering styles that he otherwise would not notice.

I agree - tough, right size, legible, affordable
I've had the watch nearly 8 years and never regretted it. Plus, you don't need a toothpick to set the date. But you will want a winder and perhaps another link or two. I have the strap adaptors for Velcro or standard strap, but the watch is made for the b...
Welcome and suggestions...
Hope you enjoy it here! As for your father in law's quest for a stainless/titanium perpetual.... does he want it to be a sporty looking one or classic looking one? Aside from some really nice suggestions already, I'll throw these couple in the mix: - AP R...

Perpetual options
As mentioned in earlier posts, you should definitely consider AP and JLC (the latter provides currently two options, 42 and 40 mm, for their 8-day perpetual). Another classical design is Blancpain in the Villeret line (without chrono), with three subdials...
