Today I had the pleasure of trying on Ball Fireman Victory NM2098C-S5J-SL, with a beautiful silver Clous de Paris motif. It has a textured dial, instead of fluted bezel (like with Rolex DJ and similar entries). This makes it very luxurious looking while being a bit more understated. A 40 mm case is on the larger end for me, but I think it still fits my wrist without overpowering it. I would have bought it if it wasn't automatic. Do you guys know some quartz-powered alternatives for this look?

I like the practicality and low price of quartz watches. Yet I quite like the fluted bezel designs of sports watches like Rolex Datejust, Tudor Prince, or Orient President. Can you recommend any inexpensive quartz alternatives? I really don't care about the brands, just about the aesthetic effect. Requirements: - Quartz, best if solar - 38-41mm case (I have 16 cm circumference thin wrists, want to avoid visually shrinking my hands/forearms) - Silver (white metal) case possibly with gold details, white/black face - Sapphire glass - Quiet — no loud ticking - Luxurious-looking Rolex DJ DNA with fluted bezel (photos below)
