I think it's a smidge more elegant than the 124270

You can't go wrong with a white dial.

I read this post at page 1 with 2 replies and it has been in my mind ever since: "Elegance: I can't encapsulate what makes a thing elegant but I know it when I see it": that's where I started off. "I have no need of an elegant watch": now largely true with no weddings, funerals,...

Excellent.

Bracelets can be elegant too, then

Very nice. I, too, like the Longines, the FC and the moonphase.

Your Cartier - it doesn't really get more elegant than that.

This is probably my most elegant:

1. Definitely the Omega, preferably on a black strap.

Ah, I see. My watch collecting does not really match my life philosophies

Sounds like you've built up a solid long term relationship with the aqua terra. A flirt with a new watch might be attractive at first, but once the honeymoon has worn off it's hard to know if it'll be a keeper. That's the key, I guess.
