It's a dressy affair...wear the dress watch.

Simple.

So what do you think?

It is funny how perception changes, however, since everyone is talking about the reverso as a dress watch when there is a strong case for the fact that it was the first ever SPORTS watch when it was designed for polo playing army officers in 1931!

That is spot on

bassplayrr · 7 June 2012, 11:26 PM

Beautiful watches both, but I say the Reverso without question.

chillviper · 7 June 2012, 11:29 PM

Reverso!

patrike · 7 June 2012, 11:40 PM

I had the Reverso to all different kinds of activities. Even to the beach! :) I think the Reverso probably would be a "classic" choice.

Only thing is that I got the GMT this monday, it's so nice and shiny. Would be perfect with the reverso for the wedding, and gmt for the brunch the day after. But We're a bunch of people that will be living together, that's why I won't bring both watches. Wouldn't want to leave either watch in the room, with people I don't really know being able to access them.

The trouble all these watches make :)

Darlinboy · 7 June 2012, 11:43 PM

Either will be fine. Flip a coin!

how old/young is the wedding party?

Around 30 I think. They are girlfriends friends. Never met any of them.

00pumpkin · 8 June 2012, 12:23 AM

I say either one. If I ever wore a watch somewhere and it made someone upset then I really dont want to be there anyways.

I wore my bright colored Pepsi GMT to my friend's wedding (I was the best man)....

In my opinion any rolex can be dressy or not. The only watch of mine that I wouldn't wear to a wedding or formal event is my G-Shock.

Reverso = more formal
gmt = less formal

I've always been confused by this

And I would personally go for the Reverso

Because at the most formal events (white tie), it would be considered to be bad form to look at the time. This is a leasure event so, in a sense, it frees you up from having to worry about the time. It's an anachronism for sure though.

Paladin · 8 June 2012, 02:08 AM

Wear the JLC Reverso.....

Bmonroy17 · 8 June 2012, 02:26 AM

Reverso !

Tri-Tip · 8 June 2012, 02:28 AM

What? You don't own a G-Shock?

I think either watch would look great with a dark suit.

s14roller · 8 June 2012, 03:12 AM

Both would work fine but the JLC would look more proper.

Sam Philip · 8 June 2012, 04:58 AM

JLC this time

TSW · 8 June 2012, 05:00 AM

Reverso for me!

I have no qualms about wearing a GMT that fits under a cuff for a dark-suit kind of event, but the Reverso is made for this setting.

It's a perfect understated watch to wear with a suit or a tux.
If not for the wedding when would you ever wear it?

What he said.

Mick8moses · 28 June 2012, 05:33 AM

I agree with Crew's sentiment, if you wouldn't wear the Reverso then sell it.
It is rude to wear a watch to formal events as you're supposed to be "off the clock". Here is where the Reverso shines, just leave that gorgeous case back up!

wishywatchy · 28 June 2012, 06:39 AM

I wore my red faced Tag Heuer F1 on rubber strap to the last wedding I went to, jesus who cares what watch you have on, surely its about the bride and groom not your watch.

floater156 · 28 June 2012, 06:43 AM

GMT, I'm sure the focus will be on the groom and bride, not your watch :) Before I became interested in watches, I never noticed or cared about anyone's watch.

esm · 28 June 2012, 08:08 AM

Which model Reverso?

Some Reverso models has a busy and/or unbalanced dial.... That IMO, takes the classiness and timelessness away from it. I'd rather a GMT.

Rolex Freak · 28 June 2012, 08:27 AM

Reverso.

Lmao! Perfect answer to that pretentious pseudo middle class post. Pretentious pseudo middle class? What does that even mean especially in this context?

Good point, especially if the reverso is on a bracelet. I'll go with the assumption that it isn't, and therefore would be the right choice. I love my gmt, but wouldn't wear it with a suit just like I wouldn't wear hiking boots with a suit.

Don't worry about your watch. Weddings are always big comedy as you can see the slobs who wear a suit maybe three times a year. If "that guy" can show up with pants that are two inches too short, you'll be fine even if you do opt to wear the gmt.

Time2time · 28 June 2012, 01:10 PM

Either.
It's a watch.
