Level of dress vs. level of watch??

[stockjock1975]

Hello again all here at TRF! Now that warmer weather is here in Northern Ohio and I'm starting to pull the the shorts and golf shirts out of storage (I will spare you the mental image of my pasty white legs after a long winter! ), a thought has begun to creep into my mind related to fashion protocol as it relates to our watches. So, I wanted to post my query and get all of your thoughts on the subject.

Simply stated, do any of you select which watch you will wear on any given day based on your choice of clothes that you will be wearing.....or specifically the LEVEL at which you are dressed? For example, this morning as I was putting on shorts and a golf shirt for a leisurely day around the house, I had a hard time strapping on a gold watch as it just felt a little out of place for what I was wearing. Do any of you think this way as your getting dressed in the morning, or has the WIS in me just totally gotten out of control?

So, what are your thoughts? Is SS better suited for casual dress? Is gold and casual wear a fashion faux pas? In other words, should your level of watch match the level of your dress? Taking it one step further, have you ever been self conscious that your watch is just too nice for the clothes you have on?

I appreciate all your thoughts on this subject. Thanks in advance to everyone!
