So I currently have a no-date ceramic sub I just got and I LOVE it. I noticed that with a suit, it just kinda looks off to me. I know people do, and James Bond probably did and all that but when it's worn with a suit, it kinda gives off that "this is my only watch" look. SO, I kinda now want the DateJust 41, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, black or blue dial, diamond markers. I know that diamond markers part is kinda polarizing to people. Anybody have that exact config that they have pics of under a shirt/suit cuff?

StrongDGame · 19 July 2018, 06:56 AM

Oh and does this exact configuration have a nickname (BLNR, Hulk, Pepsi, etc) or something?

Congrats on the Sub, it's a great watch. Give it time, you are just getting used to the new look. Unless you are just looking for an excuse to get a DJ....in that case, you will find plenty of enablers here!

No, thankfully! I have never been a fan of nicknames!

Yobber76 · 19 July 2018, 07:07 AM

If it it's good enough for James Bond it's good enough for me. I have a SubC I would wear it with a suit, with jeans, hey even with a swim suit!

StrongDGame · 19 July 2018, 07:14 AM

You guys may be right about the sub and the suit, I think I am just getting used to it. I've owned an old Panerai and really old Breitling Bentley and those are both gigantic monster watches but didn't have to wear a suit as often till now.

I think I just want the DateJust and need an excuse.......... :) :)

You’re right, sub with a suit is a terrible idea. You are not allowed back on this forum until you have a blue DJ41. ;)

Did that help?

Go for it!

Valkyrie · 19 July 2018, 07:28 AM

I have a SubC and wear it with a suit, jeans or anything else. I have other choices but the SubC is usually what is on my wrist. If it screams "this is my only watch" I couldn't care less. I wear the watch that gives me pleasure and give no thought at all as to what anyone else might think. If you want a DJ41 go for it but don't get hung up on what others might think about your watch - most folks don't care and trying to impress the few that do is a losing proposition.

Not a sub but works great with a suit. A sub will also. I think the old rules of sports watches with suits is gone. Your sub looks great with a suit especially compared to those who chose to wear a gshock or smart watch in a suit.

Enjoy the sub.

I know exactly what the PO is talking about. The bracelet on a Sub was too bland compared to the GMTc. Main reason I went with the GMTc. The PCL’s make it look nice

StrongDGame · 19 July 2018, 07:54 AM

It looks so much better one anyone else but me LOL

It will always be subjective. Many believe it looks great and could never be convinced otherwise and that's fine.

Personally, my view is that even though it's a luxury brand it's still a dive watch and I find the look completely incongruous. I honestly think it "goes" with a suit about as much as a baseball cap does...but people try to pull that look off too.

I'm not even saying it's a bad choice but surely a Datejust or something without a giant bezel would be the better choice. You lost me to the other side of the road when you added diamonds though.

Haha I lose most people at the diamonds! when I mention my preferred configuration of the DateJust 41, I mention the diamonds part last and its funny how quickly the smile goes to disbelief as soon as “diamond” is mentioned!

I have a DJ41 TT, Fluted, champagne dial with diamonds. Absolutely love it. I have worn it with everything from dress clothes to swimming trunks. Next time I wear with a suit I’ll take a pic to share..don’t wear suits that often though. Also have a SubC and think it’s a great pair.

Perfectly said.

nikesupremedunk · 19 July 2018, 08:14 AM

Congrats on your new Sub! I'm with you, I tried wearing the sub with a suit and while it can certain pass, the DJ just does it better. Can I wear my DJ casually with t shirt and jeans? Sure, but I can't argue that the Sub would be better suited for that. Sub and DJ make the perfect combination and covers you for pretty much every scenario.

While I don't have a DJ41, here's a shot of my DJ36 with a suit. Could a Sub have worked? Perhaps, but IMO DJ and suit goes together like PB & J.

That looks absolutely beautiful man! That’s my thinking too! The sub and DJ combo cover all bases for me too.

i just sold this exact same Dj model yesterday. It's a nice mono-style watch for more formal occasions. i didn't have a chance to try diff a leather strap. it was the very first rolex ever purchased. memories...

droptopman · 19 July 2018, 08:15 AM

I wear Subs with a suit. Have for 30 years. I have tried the traditional 2 handed dress watches on a strap, and while I love the look of some dress watches I just do not wear them enough to justify having one. Plus I just dig Subs.

Some will argue that a DJ or even a Day Date is not a traditional dress watch. I would probably agree in the traditional sense. If I ever go dress watch again it will be a PP or ALS.

That is true too. Technically, a dress watch shouldn’t be on a bracelet, right?

Yes, old school traditionalist would say that. Generally a two hand watch on leather or exotic band. I would really only care about that if going to a super formal black tie event or similar which I do not attend often enough.

If you go to a event where it’s a tuxedo the correct watch is actually no watch. It’s considered very rude to be keeping track of time at such an event. I vote diamonds. I think it makes the whole face look more balanced. I have a sub and a DJll and they are the perfect combination no need to have another watch imo.

Correct.

Ped22 · 19 July 2018, 08:23 AM

I’ve got a BLNR and DJ41 with blue dial and jubilee and I would choose the DJ over the BLNR when wearing a suit.

For that reason I started to appreciate my DJ a lot more after I got hold of the BLNR.

You won’t regret buying a DJ
