Yes.

Axl · 11 March 2018, 02:47 AM

Yes, I wear a SubC with a suit all the time and never felt it was out of place.

VicLeChic · 11 March 2018, 02:50 AM

I don't wear my YM or SD43 with a suit. Doesn't feel right to me. They're not dress watches. Business casual is as far as I'll go with a sports watch.

I'd guess that less than a couple of percent of people wearing Subs are qualified to dive, and those that are tend not to wear Subs diving. It is absolutely a fashion statement or simply worn by people who really like the watches. I see them all the time on people the casual and business attire. Personally, I've worn by old Seadweller, GMT and Smurf at work and at play. Are they tool watches? Relative to your average Patek - yes. Relative to your average G-shock - not so much. Just my opinion.

Good enough for Bond.... Good enough for me....

I default to my AP 15400 when wearing a suit but yeah...absolutely...my 114060 has been dressed up with a 3 piece on more than one occasion!

GMTc with a suit or tux no problem. It's only a couple of times a year so really not worth owning a "proper" dress watch for me.

DahMan · 11 March 2018, 03:37 AM

Always, and I wear the DJ41 as casual

bp1000 · 11 March 2018, 03:41 AM

Yea

However if it’s an evening event or very formal I normal wear a Jaeger LeCoultre MUT

Krash · 11 March 2018, 03:57 AM

I wear a sub with a suit. It goes just as well with a suit as any DJ you can get (not that I have anything against a DJ, because I don't).

I just don't wear a suit enough to justify having a Patek Phillipe Calatrava (which is the ideal watch for dressing up IMHO).

Mad Dog · 11 March 2018, 10:11 AM

I always wear my Hulk with my suits

tomchicago · 11 March 2018, 10:23 AM

NEVER if you're over 26 years old. It's fine to pretend James Bond up to then....but after that....it's just....well........

mangoseed · 11 March 2018, 10:34 AM

Sure and I'll wear diving flippers as dress shoes to match.

ferrissteve11 · 11 March 2018, 10:40 AM

In this age, a 'proper' dress watch, while showing an understanding of sartorial etiquette is no longer the necessity it once was. It comes down to personal choice, and what you're comfortable with and what watches you already may have. FWIW I think a Sub looks fine in a suit and tux....a far better look than a smart watch that everyone seems to think is the one/done time piece of late.

DmXmD · 11 March 2018, 11:05 AM

Since I don’t tend to hang out with Royalty, I think the odds of anyone I know feeling my $8,000 watch is inappropriate in the company of their $300 Men’s Warehouse suit are slim to none.

mrporter · 11 March 2018, 11:06 AM

I think a black sub you can get a away with it. The black dial just make it look more formal. I think when you spent $6k+ on a watch you should able to wear it anywhere even to formal event :)

Hard_Six · 11 March 2018, 11:18 AM

Of course you can! It’s a beautiful piece with any attire.

I don’t but I think the black dial ND Sub can be a dress watch.

Yobber76 · 11 March 2018, 12:03 PM

I don't wear a suit for business, but I would wear my Sub 14060 or my DJ 41 with a suit with no hesitation

thomaswentworth · 11 March 2018, 12:04 PM

I definitely wear my 116610 as a dress watch.

pickettt · 11 March 2018, 12:12 PM

I guess, if that's all you've got.

watchmework · 11 March 2018, 12:40 PM

I've worn my 114060 with a suit without hesitation and I now wear my SD43 with one as well...don't even think twice about it as long as it fits under the cuff.

Jrcigar · 11 March 2018, 03:49 PM

I do not own a Sub, however my wife bought me an Omega Seamaster MC300 (close match to Sub) as a wedding present, I wore it on a black alligator leather strap on our wedding ... matched my tux to perfection. It’s the only time I’ve worn it with a tux, and I’ll never regret it! (Photographer commented how much he liked it) I switched it to a Bond NATO where it’s been ever since.. (it was born on an Omega tan/honey colored leather with deployant strap) but I think it looks exquisite with formal wear. So I vote yes
