Level of dress vs. level of watch??

[taljamil]

I always try to match my watch to my level of dress. However, I say it all depends on what statement you want to make with your watch fashion combination. I love the look of a Daytona (or any of the other Rolex sports models) with a suit because it stands out and makes a bold statement. However, I always think it is most appropriate to wear a dress watch with dress clothes (perhaps a versatile Datejust or better yet a Cellini). I sometimes have trouble fitting the sports models under my cufflinks. The proper sartorial balance between watch and level of dress is very important to me personally but I recognize that I am probably in the minority on the forum. I consider myself more of a fashion guy than a watch guy, so to me the watch is always the accessory rather than the first thing to consider. Just my two cents.
