Help me choose watch for wedding day
Hi all, I’m off to Canada (-5hrs) to marry my lovely lady and I’m trying to decide which watch to wear for the big day!

I’ll be wearing a three piece navy suit (grey double breasted waist coat and burgundy tie coordinated to match bridesmaids)

Options are the below and also GMT 2 BLRO. I’d prefer to only take one piece as I’m returning via Spain for a friends wedding (black tie dress code so wearing my navy tux) I guess I could take more than one though.

....you don’t have a dress watch?? In your case I don’t believe I would wear a watch to the ceremony

Imo the Pepsi bezel will really stand out in professionally taken wedding pictures. So that would be my choice.

The day is all about the bride Gary, so stop trying to steal her limelight with that stunning BLRO

Congrats in advance on your special day

I'd go DJ as well. At least it is trying to be a little subtle.

Meh to the dress watch stuffiness. Wear what you feel comfortable with, but imo the BLRO would look great. Jubilee adds enough formality.

Wear the watch that means the most to you and your lovely bride. Remember it’s the watch you’ll look back on and say to your kids, “this was the watch I wore when I married your mom”.

None are dress watches, but the DJ would be the best option.
