Do you wear SUBs, as a dress watch?

[Daniel23456]

Hey folk,
For those of you who have Subs or any other Rolex diver, do you wear them as a dress watch with suit and tie or buttoned shirt?
It seems to me that Rolex divers are really starting to be a jewelry rather then a sport/tool watch. don't get me wrong guys, I think they are absolutely great looking! what do you guys think about it? cheers!

I wear it for everything, whether it be to work (i wear a suit and tie) or to the gym, swim, hike or any other activities.

Not me, I would feel out of place wearing a sports watch with a suit.

I also wear it with everything (other than black tie). With a suit everyday, surfing, diving, camping whatever.

I wear my sub at the office but we're business casual.

I wear my Seiko divers and my Orient diver at the office, but we're business casual.

I personally don't wear any diver with a suit and tie.

That's so cool to hear! did you buy it new? I am quite afraid to get my explorer wet even though it should be fine, and also terrified to take it to the gym

[HL65]

Yes fine with a suit. Would I wear to a black tie event? No.

[AK797]

I've worn my YG to the gym and for tennis and to fancy dinners and afternoon teas, it's very versatile. I'd wear my LVc to all the above.

I have a GMT with PCL's and all black bezel. I think it goes with suit/tie just fine.
But, I agree a DJ is dressier.

[rootbeer7]

Definitely

Ha ! Good one !

I wear my DSSD with everything. Easily fits under shirt cuffs. Goes with shorts or tux.

I don't own a Sub, but my GMT has the same oyster case and a similar look. Absolutely I'll wear it when dressed in suit/tux

Yup, bought new and this happened soon after

No one will notice either way... wear it

If Prince William wears one to a black tie event, I think it’s pretty safe for the rest of us.

He's an Omega Watch man, isn't he? I know Prince Andrew wears a DD and Prince Harry sometimes has an Explorer II.

To the OP, before I became a cop, I was a captain in a 5-Star restaurant and I wore a tuxedo everyday. I also wore my GMT everyday.

[WS9D]

I wear with everything but black tie or very formal dinners.

[The Libertine]

I do.

[droptopman]

Yes, but not as a "dress" watch. I wear my Subs with everything. That is one of the reasons I dig Subs, you can wear them with just about anything and for just about any activity.

I do not wear suits as much as I once did. I rarely attend formal events. At one point, I had a dedicated dress watch to wear with formal attire, but at this juncture in my life there really is not reason to own a true dress watch.

Do not get me wrong, I love a nice dress watch, but the expense is not worth it for something I might wear a couple times a year. So for a business suit I will wear a Sub and if I am going to a really formal function I can go without a watch or wear an old 2 hand museum Movado.

[zengineer]

Can you?..of course. Would I?..never in a million years.

I don't own a Submariner but have a Seamaster, a Sinn 203 Arktis and other dive style watches. A dive watch is not a dress watch but the idea that any watch is ever a bad choice is unpopular. It's not the best choice so as long as I own others I'll pick something simpler or at least less toolish when in a suit. It's like tennis shoes with a suit in my mind. Yes, they are shoes but not the best choice with a suit.

I don't stick to the only wear pure dress watches with a suit concept and will wear my Milgauss with a suit, but a big bold numbered bezel is not my idea of something that pairs well with a suit just because it's expensive.

I'm right there with you.

Since I've never been confused for either British royalty or a fictional spy, I choose a more formal timepiece with such attire.

[FTX I]

I don't own a suit so I don't know.

No

[Mystro]

Sure do and so does James Bond.

[HogwldFLTR]

If an imaginary James Bond could do it then it must be right. Actually, I'd wear what ever watch I felt like. Likely something a bit fancier but I wouldn't exclude it especially if it is your only watch.
