Respectfully. What rot, wore mine with morning suit, lounge suit, black tie, business suits, flight suits and even my birthday suit.

Nobody gives two monkeys hoots whats on your wrist.

"Oh its only meant to have 2 hands not 3"
"Oh my he is wearing a bracelet and not a strap"
"Oh look Deadora he's wearing oh where are the salts, i have the vapours coming on, dare i say it a Wristwatch"

Apart from maybe nouveau riche, who seem to be falling over themselves to be all Gieves and Hawkes.

Wear what you want, when you want, with what you want.

I'm in a wedding this weekend and I'm probably going to rock the sub; though my heart tells me to take the DJ instead

If you decide to wear a sub with a suit make sure you also have the matching clown shoes to complete the outfit.

A suit requires a proper dress watch. And yes, people do judge you by what you wear.

Jeans. Suit. Birthday suit.

You know. Kind of everything all the time. Unless I feel like wearing something else.

My swimsuit says otherwise. Get a grip. The watch you wear or don't is meaningless to others. Life is much too short for this.

Wear what you want, when you want, with what you want.
Couldn’t agree more. And for the black dial sub specifically, on what planet does it not fit the bill as a dress watch? It’s...the same color as most every tux. But admittedly I’m no fashion icon.

Yup and anyone who is too pretentious and thinks poorly of you for doing so really isn't worth associating with anyways the way I see it.

Hilarious. I have a feeling we run in different circles, which is OK by me.

Yup. All the time. On a steel bracelet with a suit and a 5 digit ref (used to be 4 digit) on a NATO for casual

It's a SS watch w/a SS bracelet. You can wear it with a tux or a t-shirt. Who cares?

And mind you, Hollywood stars are rocking $50k, $100k, $200k watches & upward wearing t-shirts & jeans. We are in an era where anything goes. And certainly no one will ridicule anyone wearing a Sub with a tux, let alone a suit.

One of the most baller looks is a full gold sub in a suit.

Wear what you want. If people judge, let them judge, wouldn't want to be friends with anyone who would judge me based on my styling choices anyway.

It seems to me that Rolex divers are really starting to be a jewelry rather then a sport/tool watch. don't get me wrong guys, I think they are absolutely great looking! what do you guys think about it? cheers!
anything that said "rolex" is a dress watch to the common people

Well, in that case, my friends and I at work in suits and ties wearing Subs, Explorer IIs, and GMTs think your little leather Tudor is U-G-L-Y.
