There are so many lovely 'dressy' watches around - any DJ for e.g. - that unless you are really mixing with 'snobby' people, noone is going to give a toss.
It's about how good you feel with an elegant watch on your wrist.

I tend to agree with this. However my dad was always very specific about men's dress watches in that they had to be thin, inconspicuous, & dark. That a formal event is very much a 'uniform' type of event (such as a wedding) where you are trying to look classy yet without drawing undo attention to yourself. There are apparently rules to follow which a quick google search will help. For a watch a dark Celini or Calatrava would probably be perfect.

However the 'rules' of dressing formally are a lot more relaxed now than in my father's day.
