For those of you who like to wear pie-tins strapped on your wrists when you "dress up" for an evening out at the Taco Bell, then perhaps...

But for the rest of us who actually do know the difference between white tie, black tie and business attire.........it's a no-brainer...

Appreciate your point of view, and although James Bond isn't to everyone's taste, being the marketing/fashion circus that it is in recent films, I doubt that they would have coupled a 42mm (and +mm) Omega with the finest Tom Ford Italian tuxeudos had it not have looked 'appropriate'. The core of the character is suave suit/tuxeudo focused anyhow.

As I have learned on here, the most formal of occasions would traditionally call for a pocket watch (or none at all), followed by a black leather banded wristwatch and so forth. Times have moved on. According to style experts, you dont wear 'white tie' or a white tuxeudo at a venue anywhere outside of the carribean/tropics... Its all opinion anyhow, I dont want to get into a 'fashion' debate with people on here. What I would however like to point out is that many people on here argue the case that 40mm Black subs can be worn with tux's, yet remove the bezel, add a millimeter, and add elegance with baton dials etc and it is suddenly inappropriate? Let put the case of 1mm into perspective guys. Lighting for example, or the size of your cuff would surely have more of an effect on the perception of its size in passing?

Right, my debate is over, I dont want to spark off another 'clothing suitability' thread
