I know you all are hardcore with your sea dwellers, Subs and GMTs, but do any of you own a "dress" Rolex? DJ, DD or Celini?

lostsub · 20 September 2007, 12:09 AM

I have GMT, SD, SS DJ and TT DJ. Those DJs are now residing with my father inlaw and my brother inlaw from order of my emperor(my wife) since I just left them in the boxes for the longest time. They have been out for about 2 years now. I am keeping both my GMT and SD for now, and I hope they both will stay with me and not being "loan out".

SSD · 20 September 2007, 12:12 AM

I own a Sub currently, and have designs on a dressier watch for my next purchase. I was thinking a TT Turn-O-Graph or maybe an Air King, one with a blue or black face perhaps. Those TOG's are nice, and would slip under a suit cuff well while maintaining most of the heft that I love so...

Yes

colemanitis · 20 September 2007, 12:13 AM

I can't afford another Rolex, so my Sub is left sailing solo.

I have an old ss Oyster Date which goes with everything and it pretty understated, in fact most don't even notice it's a Rolex. (something I cannot claim about the LV)

Wisher · 20 September 2007, 12:25 AM

Yes. I have a DJ with blue gradation, 10pt diamond dial. It screams R-O-L-E-X R-O-L-E-X R-O-L-E-X

when it's on my wrist! And it gets equal wrist time along with my 4 sports models too.

(Sorry for bad pic) but I assume many TRF members have dress Rolexes too.

roadcarver · 20 September 2007, 12:25 AM

I used to briefly own a DateJust, but decided that the SeaDweller actually can be worn as a dress watch.

In todays world, a Rolex sport watch is a dress watch..

In the course of a year I attend many up-scale social and honorary events. While you still see a few, the day of the skinny "dress" watch is out and the era of big watches is in.
My TT Sub is understated at many of these events..

Not afraid to wear a sport Rolex as a dress watch! Nice!

miner · 20 September 2007, 12:29 AM

Best dress I always wear is this..

Works every time!!

Erix · 20 September 2007, 12:39 AM

Sub date works fine as a dress watch.

roadcarver · 20 September 2007, 12:41 AM

Amen to that!

I've been tempted for a DJ (I love the black diamond for sale by kansaivet)- but still unsure if I'd wear it much... ??? I do wear a suit 5/6 days a week...but.......

watchnut · 20 September 2007, 01:17 AM

I have a TT DJ to go with my SS Sub. I don't wear the DJ as much as I should because I have a tendency to think of it as dressy. I should have only one watch. It seems a shame to have a beautiful watch just sitting around.

My Sea-Dweller is my dress watch. I wear it to court every day (as well as everywhere else), and I can just about guarantee you it's the dressiest watch in any given courtoom.

I'm thinking of getting several more dress watches, namely the white dial Explorer II, the SS GMT II and the blue dial Air-King.

I might decide to go extra blingy and get a TT instead of the SS GMT II, but I doubt it.

SD works for me every time. When I pitch up in court in the sd.....

PS The new Milgauss or how about the.....

Blown Wide Open · 20 September 2007, 01:32 AM

I own a DJ (but it has gone to my wife), I kept the Thunerbird, so I guess I am still sport biased.

EvEr34 · 20 September 2007, 01:37 AM

When I need a "dressier: watch I wear this one or that one. That's about as dressy as it get for me.

I know of one chap who wasn't afraid to do this either!

Downing · 20 September 2007, 02:48 AM

You can tell he's a WIS because he keeps looking at his watch so he's obviously not checking to see the time.

llamaofdoom · 20 September 2007, 02:57 AM

Dates, Datejusts, GMTs and Subs. Now I only wear stainless sports models - I like the brushed finishes better.

Letsgodiving · 20 September 2007, 05:49 AM

I have never really been into dress watches. If I do wear a suit, which is rare, I think my SD will be just fine.

I'm wondering though whether this is more accepted in the US than other parts of the world. I think the US tends to be more casual than some other area's. I think it is largely up to the individual and what they are comfortable with but was curious if wearing a "sport" watch with a suit was frowned upon in other countries like accross the pond for example.

I'm guessing this would also vary depending on age range and the circles we may run in. Just wondering.
