Rolex is a luxury brand so, in my mind save that awful zebra thing all are just fine.

Not like we're talking Timex Ironman or one of those huge Casio compass / sundial looking things.

Your watch is part of your attire. Your car is not.

Here's the deal. I'm 28 and for you to say that the day date (president) that I have on my wrist right now is bland is frankly trollish. I don't feel the need to bring others down to make myself feel better about my decisions. Tell you what, where this

out one night. I had 2 compliments last night on it, so I guess "bland" isn't the best way to describe it. I'll just sit back now and wait for the- James Bond did it so it's good enough for me, argument.

Edit:I was so mad after reading his intial post that I missed the Bond reference already made. If you're going to go diving after having your way with the lady you just met at the card game because there's a guy with a saw blade yo-yo on the other side of the beach, then yes, you should wear your Sub with the tux. Otherwise, be leery of imitating the fashion statements of fictional Sean Connery characters...

Love you passion chozn1! YOu WIN!

My only request is not to compare a Rolex with Tennis Shoes!!!

If you replace the band with a bracelet and polish it, then I would say definitely yes.

It is all a matter of taste and style ie What type of tux what type of event etc. IMHO there are better choices.

Yeah, they're a classic match with a suit. Why:

- Small to moderate size (except maybe the DS)
- Most are stainless steel which does not clash with shirts / suits
- Relatively low profile compared to alot of watches out there these days

Just my opinion!
